Can I carbonate William's soda extracts with yeast?

FAQ 5-7 Answers @ Williams Brewing

If the yeast eats too much of the sugars, the bottles will explode, conversely, if the yeast decides not to eat the sugar, the soda will be flat. For safety, we recommend that soda be made only in Beverage Systems and injected with C02 to produce carbonation.
