Cheers! My brew consists of 15 liters of water. 1000g ginger. 10 lemons. 100g brown cane sugar. For the starter, add ginger, sugar and water in a glass, feed daily and wait until it bubbles – depending on the room temperature, it may take a few days. Then bring the grated ginger to a boil twice and let it cool for one day. Add the ginger sauce through a sieve in 15 liters of water in the fermentation tank, then the starter. Add the juice of 10 lemons and 100g cane sugar. Mix well. Let cool for 2 days. Then fill in bottles. After about 1 week, the brew is ripe. Brown yeast has settled in the bottles. It is bitter and not suitable for enjoyment. taste it and believe it 🙂

Cheers, I’m a brand maker by heart, a German collector of historical branded goods and owner of a marketing cabinet.

The English eggbottle with the swastika from 1890 is very rare worldwide and now part of my collection. I have the bottle in the international collector forums set and receive strong response to this story:

HISTORY OF A TRAGIAN DEVELOPMENT. C.Mumbys soda water maker in Portsmouth made a great marketing around 1890. The Aesculap staff for the medical healing promise was marked in the center of the bottle. Before the invention of the crown cork made the wire cork for the optimal tingling of the product. The neck label pointed to the court supplier of the king. An additional paper stopper showed the swastika from the old Indian Sanskrit. As an additional lucky charm to the sparkling experience of the new soda water. Known worldwide since 10,000 BC Since 1920/1933/1945, the swastika has received its negative connotation as a “swastika” symbolizing the greatest terror in the world to date, and wishing for an equally strong but positive sign of the unification of all forces for the salvation of our planet.

WANTED IS A SUNSHINE LOGO FOR THE FUTURE. IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT HUMAN IDEAS SHOULD START THIS WAY.

Hans-Jürgen Krackher Dear Marcus Dance, AUS, unfortunately this is the problem of marketing by concessionaires. J.Schweppe since 1783, Schweppe´s Ltd, Cadbury Schweppes, the British roots –  the values of the first real world brand – everything has gone. There is no longer a factory called Schweppes, and the Trade Mark belongs to the Japanese liquor company Suntory. Today, Schweppes products are produced worldwide by Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola or by large beer brands, in Germany by Krombacher Pils. This means, that the regional bottler of concessionaire brands do not feel passionately responsible for the history and value of the brand. So there is for Schweppes, with Spa and Selters the genetic “mother” of Coca Cola, no central corporate archive. Christian and I have taken over this job as private collectors and storytellers and – it’s a lot of fun as Davids between the Goliaths.
