oooo- you've been lucky then, Brook. I've seen some ugly, mis-shapen & mal-formed beer-batter disasters when not using flat product. In fact, I've seen beer-batter MOVE like it was simmering on a low-burner, when sitting in a container...

I’ve made batters with both beer and club soda and I never let them go flat. I was under the impression as KY said that the reason you use a carbonated beverage was to lighten the batter though with beer the taste is also a factor. I’ve never had any trouble with any of my batters. They stick just fine and fry up nicely.

I found some nice young zucchini at the store yesterday and this thread gives me some great ideas.
I wish I had gotten some beer last time I picked up wine at the liquor store. I have to go a couple towns over to get to a wet county. We have always had boot leggers in this county but Im not aware of any these days lol.

I use club soda and beer - and never let them go flat - no problems at all.

Who needs a bootlegger? Buy your own home brewing kit! LOL
