What you are observing is justthe yeast "breathing". Because the gas can escape because of nopressurization, the beverage will not be carbonated.> and will it go away before bottling?Yes. However if the yeast is still active after bottling it mightcarbonate in the bottle. Just make sure fermentation has ended beforebottling and you will have no problems.Regards,Steve>Also, is>it normal for it to be carbonated for a while then lose it after it>done fermenting?>>Thanks to all for your help.>>>>>>>>Yahoo!
