Title: Soda stream Blondie
Post by: Tom on July 25, 2017, 03:18:53 PM
Came across this in The Guardian at the weekend (just flicking through, I just do the crossword).

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/22/sodastream-gets-busy-with-the-fizzy-again

I know many homebrewers have been asked questions along these lines.

Sorry, you've to read quite far down. It's soda stream beer concentrate, including alcohol. Just add water and fizz!

There's no shortage of cash in products like this, trying to grab a slice of the dispense at home market.

But they have to cut some nasty corners to make the beer concentrate work.

Aaah the Guardian,its readers like to think of themselves as intelligent well informed sorts. Never understand why they write 1000 words to say something that can be said with 400 :P.

Honestly, I only do the crossword! I get my news from RTE teletext. If it's not on there, it didn't happen.
