Thanks for the reply. I bottled it after two weeks and used table sugar,
but only gave it a week before tasting it. I'll keep the remaining bottles
in the closet for a few more weeks before trying again.

My other concern was that it was a little flat. I thought the bottling
sugar determined how much carbonation got in there. If I wait longer will
they get more carbonated, or will it be about the same?
