Mike got a big bag of free Michigan peaches from the co-op a few days ago. Actually a co-worker was going to take them home, but suggested that maybe Mike could take them and make soda out of them (and bring bottles back to the co-op, of course!). So he cooked up a batch of peach soda- no spices or frills, just straight up peaches, sugar, and yeast.
We sort of forgot about it after setting it aside in a box to ferment. Usually 36 hours is plenty for a soda and I think this one got 2-3 days. The carbonation is out of control!
Despite its over-carbonated-ness, the flavor is amazing. It's just as fruity and fizzy as that cheap Boone's Strawberry Hill you drank in 10th grade, but hopefully with less alcohol. I love the simple peachiness of it and the color is beautiful!
