Anyone have experience brewing soda? I'm thinking of trying my hand at this. Root beer, ginger ale, and tonic water are on my brewing calendar...

I've done 6-7 batches now. Usually 4 gallon amounts in a 5 gallon keg.
What do you wanna know?

Any tips?
What is the process you go through?
What have you tried to make?
Seems like it should be easy. I'm getting ready to do a keg of Root Beer.

I've done a couple of keg batches of root beer and bottled one batch. Will never bottle a batch again (kaboom!). Pretty much follow instructions when you buy the flavoring / syrup. Mix it up, keg, carbonate.

We made a hopped root beer (not pop). Believe me it was ALL Nate's idea! But really it is not bad. He will have to give you the particular's, but I think it has Sassafras and other traditional root beer ingredients. If I remember it was about 1.050 wort. Not for kids, but fun nonetheless. It was second runnings from a barleywine we made with all Munich malt.
