- Status: Some ingredients and tools purchased, awaiting further motivation (see roberthl's box if you'd like to have a go yourself).
Would like to start making open source soft drinks.
The most popular non-alcoholic soft drinks in the space seem to be Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, and Sprite. There has also been significant interest in making Ginger Beer, but this has not really been in stock at the space a whole lot.
