When making root beer can i sub champagne yeast for baking yeast?

Question

there is no brewing store in our little hick town!

Answer 1

Champagne yeast will give you a more alcoholic root beer. This is one time you might want to brew with bakers' yeast.

Answer 2

I don't know about the yeast question, but I'm pretty sure you can get baking yeast at the grocery store. I don't want your root beer to turn out gross!
