LordEoin Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have koolade and i have beer. I just bottled a batch of mexican cerveza and came up with the flawless idea of putting some cherry koolade powder in a couple of bottles. ingredients:sugar, fructose, citric acid, ascorbic acid(vitamin c), vitamin e acetate, calcium phosphate(prevents caking), acesulame potassium and sucralose(sweeteners) artificial color, red40. Instructions: add one sachet to a 500ml bottle. weight :15g I used one sachet between 2 bottles already bulk primed to 6g/l Place your bets: A - it kills the yeast, resulting in flat cherry stuff. B - it overprimes the bottles, resulting in a bright red explosion C - it overprimes the bottles, resulting in super fizzy cherry stuff D - It makes awesome cherry beer. E - it makes disgusting cherry beer. I'm going to live in hope and say 'D'[happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 i'm going with E - it makes disgusting cherry beer [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 option E added especially for you [kissing] I'm really hoping it's not B, the rest I can live with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 A - it kills the yeast, resulting in flat cherry stuff. it won't kill the yeast B - it overprimes the bottles, resulting in a bright red explosion Could very well be possible as Fructose is fermentable. C - it overprimes the bottles, resulting in super fizzy cherry stuff This is possible. See answer for "B". If not a lot of fructose then "C" is probable. D - It makes awesome cherry beer. With the right quantity then this is possible I reckon E - it makes disgusting cherry beer. Maybe if too much was added it might give an unreasonable balance. Personally I think it might well be worth trying. However, need to caution for the grenades and I reckon with the right amount of koolade and less sugar, you may well be onto something. I can't try that here as I have never seen koolade anywhere and can't be bothered hunting it down. All in all to answer your question I will choose: B + C + D [alien] A Tip: The 2 bottles you have included it, I suggest to wrap them up in cling/glad wrap. At least then if they do explode you won't have glass everywhere. Assuming you bottle in glass that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotm Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Maybe C. Assuming they don't turn out to be grenades, film the opening of one. Could be like volcano (hopefully) [devil] [wink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordEoin Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 WOW, 7 pages of threads in the time it takes to carbonate a beer! Anyway... the results are in, and it's : D - It makes awesome cherry beer. I probably chilled it a bit too much in the freezer, so it's a bit cloudy (as normally happens to me when I crash chill young beer in the freezer) but it is awesome. It was crystal clear in the bottle. It's like a carbonated cherry drink, but not like coke cherry. It still has all the mouthfeel of a beer. It has some floaties, but they probably would have settled out if i had left it more than a couple of weeks. So basically, it works and with more conditioning and patient chilling it probably would have been clear and candy red. And for Lotm, here's a video of the next one being opened: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordEoin Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Time to step it up a gear... I have an empty FV and other flavors and packs without sugar or sweeteners. Apart from a cowboy hat, it's pretty much all i ended up bringing home from a month's work in Texas... [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have never tasted Koolaid in my life so can't comment on the taste. I just thought it look cool [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Every flavor koolaid tastes different, it's just powdered dilutable. From what you can get in Aus, i'd say close to THIS but cherry and with a nice smooth beery mouthfeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie B Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wow. That's pretty cool. But if I start out making pretty beer I am not sure my husband will approve/ [lol] [roll] [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This beer looks similar to Eoin's! But I'm sure they taste little different. IT was OK, but not heavy feeling enough IMO. The other beers there are awesome though! I"m having a Saison from there right now [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainiac Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 What the heck is that? I have never seen a beer look like that. If you want to know what koolaid tastes like take a grape or orange soda shake the piss out of it and let it go flat. Now you have koolaid.
