[Sca-cooks] OOP - Nectar de Rhubarbe

Petru commented:

<<< Fairway in  New York seems to hold Rhubarb Cider (what is  
referred to
in the NY Times article) for 6.99 a bottle (US currency).

Mind you, it's probably not that hard to make. Rhubarb, sugar, water,  
and a
quick stop by the local brewing shop to rent the CO2 machine (I'm  
sorry, I
have no clue what it's called in English - actually, I'm not even  
sure what
it's called in French!). >>>

When I was reading this I was expecting Petru to say "...and a quick  
stop by the local brewing shop to get some yeast..."

So is there some reason you would want to inject CO2 rather than let  
fermentation add any fizz? Or is there some reason that yeast  
wouldn't work in this?  It is Rhubarb *Cider*, but then in the U.S.  
at least some apple juice is sold as apple cider.
