Any way I can make some tonic water and keg it?
There's a lot more to tonic water than quinine. The whole point was to mask the flavor.
Tonic water concentrate
1⁄8 cup Powdered Cinchona (quinine) Bark
1 Orange
1 Lemon
1 Lime
1⁄2 tsp. Allspice Berries
1⁄2 tsp. Cardamom Pods
2 cups Water
1 pinch Salt
1 1⁄2 cups Agave Syrup
Instructions
1. Zest and juice the lemon, lime and orange.
2. Combine fruit zest and juice, water and herbs, and boil on high heat
3. Once boiling, let it cool. Strain it through a paper coffee filter.
This produces tonic water concentrate. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Agave Syrup and a cup of Water to two tablespoons of concentrate to make Tonic Water.
I just use a commercial concentrate from the soda club.

Oh man we can make our own tonic water too?

Geez, is there nothing we can do once we have mastered the holy art of brewing? I think not my friends! Once we have mastered the ancient secrets of fermentation we can do anything. BWAHAHA today beer, tomorrow the world!!!!
(sorry, guys, I got carried away)
I am envisioning homemade tonic water, a fifth of gin, and a half dozen or so limes floating happily in a cool keg...Heck I'd skip the glass and just drink it from the picnic tap!
