Soda FAIL

Yeah, the soda's kinda failed...

The Wyler's Raspberry has more potential, it just needs to be made in a 3L and with more sugar.

The blackberry extract is pretty horrible. It was out and warm for 2 or 3 days and then in the fridge for at least a week before the first time I opened it. Each time that I opened it, the release of CO2 pressure pulled all kinds of lees off the bottom of the bottle and mixed it throughout. Very yucky yeasty tasting.

Last night I filterted it through a paper coffee filter and it was much less yeasty, but the blackberry flavor was just overpowering and generally, not good. It was tolerable when I mixed it about half and half with some Merlot / Cab Sauv wine that we had.
