[Mrs. Don-o]

I would love to have a real ginger ale.

My father (many years ago) tried making Root Beer and it exploded in the basement. Never tried the ol' effervescence trick again... :o/

I simply reuse 2 litre soda bottles. I also only make 2 bottles at a time and it only takes two weeks and then I drink them. My uncle always made home made root beer. Best root beer there is. I do remember he talked about one batch that exploded.
