@thejuggler hey, are you still doing the open source mate thing?
After getting addicted to mate based sodas like Club Mate and Flora Power, the lack of availability of them in the US meant I had to look elsewhere to get my fix. I started brewing my own Mate based soda at Pumping Station: One in Chicago in February 2019. In 2020 I began work on launching a craft soda brewery called The osMate Soda Company, to produce an Open Source mate soda in the US. I intend to share not only my soda recipes, but also what I learn about launching a food production business in the United States, here on Hackaday.
