Do this for lemonade all the time, turns out great and actually tasting like lemonade.

I made 1 3/4 gallons like this a few weeks ago. Based on BODWB's 3 day wine cooler thread.
2- bacardi strawberry daquiri concentrate
7- cps brown sugar
1-wine yeast dry pck

Ferment 4 days from 1.090 to 1.060.
Stick in freezer till slushy then drink.
My wife loves it and I'm planning on doing a few more batches with frozen fruit.

I am wanting to figure out a recipe to copy a Matilda Bay original fruit malt cooler, however, I do not want to use vodka for my base. I want to stay as close to original as possible.
I know that it was a malt beverage made by Miller Brewing Back in the 1980's. I am able to get one good bottle full with the cooler in prestine condition. I just don't know how to go about cloning it, or where to get the ingredients to produce the malt base or aquire the right flavorings.
Any help would be appreciated.

You're probably going to want to ask this in the main brewing threads. This thread happens to be in the gluten free section of the forum, and our ingredients are more along the lines of fruit, sorghum, rice, millet and quinoa.

If you're looking to do a malt beverage, you'll definately want to ask in the other threads since we're allergic barley and wheat, which is normally used to create a malt beverage.
