Alright guys here's my crazy idea. How do you think it would work?
Me and a couple of buddies are planning a canoe trip on the boundary waters. Like a week of canoeing fishing and drinking.
Since we have to do multiple portages, weight is a consideration and enough beer to stay buzzed for a week weighs a lot.
I was thinking about brewing a strong ale like in the 12-15% range and carbing it heavily with the thought that we can dump one in a nalgene bottle and top it up with water from a purifier.
I'd probably use pet bottles so we can burn them.
Is this a stupid idea? I know someone is going to suggest we just drink the strong stuff but most of the guys going are lite drinkers, so this might be a good compromise between something they would drink and shedding 100lb of beer.
Anyone done something like this? Do you think carbing it extra is a bad idea?
I was thinking something like a California common with triple the grain bill, or maybe a dougwiser 3X
Worst case, my fallback position is a handle of whisky.
