The preservatives in the Pepsi will likely prevent your yeast from growing. Interesting idea, but - wait, I just looked at the ingredients in Coke and Pepsi and there seem to be no ingredients that would act as a preservative. Go for it and see what happens.

Would suggest you shake the carbonation out and then adjust ph. Make a starting sg reading so as to know what to expect. You will need nutrients as well.

you can check the sg of your pepsi and add sugar until you get to a sg of 1.080

De gas it first, then adjust the ph. If useing a turbo, it has the ph adoptors in it, so no problem. Hope its not sugar free? Sorry, just a joke.
