Why don’t liberals whine about trendy crap like home carbonators contributing greenhouse gases, but they whine about natural things like cow farts??
A make your own 32 oz soda article in the New York Times. Way to get around Bloomberg. Next week they’ll have an article about printing your own 30 round AR-15 magazines.
Used mine to make spritzers and cranberry/vodka.
If I could, I would make all of the sodas non-carbonated. The appeal of carbonation has always been a mystery to me. Drinking carbonated beverages is so painful, I think it must be comparable to trying to drink powdered glass.
The five primary flavors are sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory(umami).
The six secondary flavors are spicy (piquance or pungency), fatty or oily, coolness (like minty, menthol or camphor), astringent (like alum or lemon), heartiness (like alcohol), and numbness (like nutmeg or clove).
But I think a good argument can be made for fizzy (carbonated) and foamy, as if not as secondary flavors than perhaps tertiary ones, more oriented towards textures, like crunchy, chewy, crispy, crystalline, powdery, earthy, fishy, juicy, squashy, runny, solid, hard, soft, tough, soggy, firm, and creamy.
The trick for good cooking is to have a good balance between complementary flavors, textures and mouth feel.
A story about fizz. Literally.
“Why oh why is our newspaper going bankrupt?”
“I don’t know. We’re so cutting-edge and trendy. We’re as current as ‘Sex In The City.’ All the news we think fit to print. What is the problem with our readers?”

I bought a Sodastream 5 or 6 years ago. Love it!
