Took a few hours and a lot of spillage, but I got 41 12oz bottles out of it. Probably could've gotten more. Tried a bit, and the flavor was pretty muted and bitter, but I think it just needs to age a bit in the bottles. I'll post back in 2 weeks with the final results.

The carbonation bit is the carbonic acid building up in solution. It litterally is the flavor of carbonation and dramatically alters the flavor of beer.
