Heating will cause less gas to be dissolved, so any CO2 that is dissolved will come out. No problem since you're carbonating with gas anyway. So no issue with over aerating since the opposite will happen.
If you used a different yeast then it's pretty much the same as making ginger beer isn't it? Ferment until the right level of sweetness and then refrigerate and you're done. I've never done it before though.
The aeration was more about the transfer of vessels :-B
I don't think I will be going down the heating path...
