Home brewers!
I am a filmmaker developing a Sodamaking documentary, and I am seeking council with a few of the most knowledgeable and dedicated home brewers on here.
Weeks ago, I pitched an idea for a Sodamaking documentary to a production company that has now asked for my work. Ive been working on this project for quite some time. However, I have a problem. I dont feel the final script conveys the true, exact Sodamaking process in as much detail as Id like, in the way Id like-- which means its not true to you, home brewers. There does not seem to be a single book devoted purely to Sodamaking-- and there are parts of the process I just could not fill in by reading the forums on here. Forums only give you so much before you need direct answers.
I've made my own soda when I was younger, but unfortunately, I know nothing about home brewing except from IncrediBREW in Nashua, NH, Beer Wars (Documentary), or the HomeBrewTalk forums. This is where I need your help.


1. Send me your homebrewing stories! I want to know about the best and worst times you've experienced SOLELY because of your pursuit to home brew. Were you plagued with production problems? Competition? Bad chemistry? What issues did you encounter home brewing for the first time? I welcome all factual accounts, from production to distribution. You can send it to [email protected]. I will read every single one of them (even if I can't respond to everyone, I will be able to bring a light to a few of your stories). Thank you in advance for sharing them with me. It means a lot.
2. Insights on the step by step process of making soda. Id really love to meet those who can answer any question about any part of the Sodamaking process. The more experience you have, the better. The more mistakes you've made, and learned from, the better. The more kinds of soda youve made in your life, the better. I want to know what went wrong and how it made you a better Sodamaker. Together, well go through the project, piece by piece, making sure everything is correct and where it should be. I want homebrewers to see this project and say THATS SO TRUE!, because those moments are what make it worth it.

3. I want to create a soda to sell in conjunction with the project. WHY NOT? Lets sell the project AND the soda at the same time. I do have an idea for a soda, a happy accident I made years back that was met with praise, but I need help developing and refining the formula. Plus, I want to learn to make some awesome soda.
Id like to speak with soda makers but if youre a beer maker with stories of the business, dont hesitate to chime in!

 We're all in this together. Ultimately, this project is about the home brewer's fight (and right) to see their drinks receive the acclaim they deserve, the shelf space they need, the taste they desire, and satisfaction of the process. If you can help bring this mission to light, I thank you all the more!
I am extremely grateful for your assistance. I don't want to do you wrong, home brewers. This project is my brain child. It means a lot to me that I get this right. This show is about you, so let's make it with you. Your honesty, your insights, will only put us closer to where we want to be.
Sincerely,
Nick Cammilleri
