Video: How to Make Your Own Soda
I'll admit that my initial reason for watching this video was because it features a wacky-looking dude with a massive fake mustache, but it has the additional plus of being educational—if you're interested in learning how to make your own soda, at least. Combine yeast, water, sugar, and flavoring for your homebrewed soda. Watch the video after the jump.

Using extracts is like kissing your sister...
The real joy in home brewing your own sodas is in making your own flavorings from natural fruits, spices, herbs, roots, etc. I've made a rather nice cream ale by experimenting with recipes from the 1920's and 30's I found searching Google's newspaper scans.

Made root beer a lot back when the extract was in the grocery store routinely, (70's and 80's). But I had a few bottles explode on me, too, including in my middle school science classroom when I was teaching. Very important not to let it wait too long after making, and very important to be careful not to handle too much.

Or you can use a soda machine! :) We have one in the office and all it takes is a few pumps of carbonation, adding your flavoring and you have soda! Yay.

That looks really neat, but I'll probably stick to my SodaStream. [ http://sodastream.com ]
Freshly carbonated water + bitters, homemade simple syrups, juice or booze. It's such sweet instant gratification.
