fermented coke

[wv_hillbilly]

So, I found a pop bottle in my truck today that had been there awhile apparently. Its the soda stream stuff that you make yourself. I brought it inside to dump it down the drain since it had been there forever. I opened it up and there was a crazy amount of co2 in that thing, and smelled strongly of alcohol. Obviously there's a shit load of sugar in those things, but I would never had guessed that would happen. Anyone else ever have this happen to them before? I was shocked. It also had an infection so I just went ahead and tossed it. But how is it even possible with all the preservatives?

bacteria can do crazy things,it be called a "gusher" if beer.

The soda stream stuff may not have the same or any preservatives in it. In fact I think CocaCola relies on the sugar as the preservative until it gets exposed to the air.

[Dnderhead]

its basically,,,corn sugar,phosphoric acid,caramel color.

[wv_hillbilly]

Sugar, water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, citric acid, sodium citrate

could you not throw some barley for nutrients and distillers yeast into a "coke wash" and ferment it?
i wonder if it would work

That would be awfully expensive, unless you had access to free coke.
