Has anyone ever made/brewed soft drinks, ideally sugar free or reduced sugar?

I don't think Mamó (my ma) would be too impressed with me giving her grandchild a table beer for s nightcap!!

I'll try some commercial kombucha to see what it tastes like. I've never had it begore

Ahh heee-yurr given the amount of gripe water and whiskey she dosed you with she's hardly one to talk!

I'd be interested to see how you get on, I've been playing the idea to make Root Beer. There's a brand in the states called "Not your Father's Root Beer" which is 6% and tastes amazing! ( If you like root beer that is!)

I was thinking an extra tap and keg on the kegorator could have a soft drink on it for kids or when I want a cold drink and it's only 10 in the morning!!!

BYO did a few series on homemade sodas as well.  I downloaded them but they're the divil to read on PDF but I'll have a look and let you know which issues.

 Root beer has stuff like winter green in it which isn't so readily available here. Dandelions and burdock is quite similar in taste, although not the same and the ingredients are easy enough to get in whole food shops.
