I just bottled it.

It stayed bang on 1000 for 2 days.

Ended up bottling it in 375ml bottles because I had a few packets of carbination drops in the cupboard. Just drank a glass full and even though it was room temperature and flat it still tasted pretty good with a nice gingery aftertaste on the ...
