I've been working on a couple of soft drinks lately, just in 1.25L bottles, fermented with US-05. Both turned out very well.

Ginger Beer
-50ml ginger juice
-140ml lemon juice
-200ml simple syrup
-topped up with water
-pinch (~1g) of US-05

Bitter Lemon
-3 whole lemons, run through the juicer
-100ml simple syrup
-topped up with water
-pinch (~1g) of US-05

Simple syrup is just 1:1 water:sugar by weight.

Let them ferment until the bottle is hard and then refrigerate.

Plenty of doctors, heart foundation, diabetes australia ect is where i got the info from a few years ago. Now they are saying the opposite.
There is a lot of media about now saying cholesterol is nothing to worry about, and that the studies were only partially published..

As for soft drink - google for open cola or open source cola.. There is some coke recipes out there.

I would prefer a good old root beer.. Definitely keen on that habanero soda!
