Oh, a recent drink has been monopolizing one of my kegs. Lime sour. A couple (or more) limes, juiced. a few ounces of crushed ice. 25%. A quart or so,of carbonated water. (This has taken up one of my kegs.) And, about 1 tsp or so, of salt. It is VERY refreshing, and safe to drink, BEFORE...

Trader Joe has a ginger beer soda, for $3, in a brown footed swing top. It is pumpkin spice ginger beer, and tastes real good, mixed with Costco spiced dark rum ($13.99 here in Arizona.) The bottles look like EZ-Cap bottles, but are 750 ML. The clerk told me that these are there through...

Anyone used maple syrup in hard cider? I've got a little bit (5 gallons) of syrup, and want to try. Since I've got a kegerator and Cornies, I'm thinking 4 gallons of apple juice, and a quart (or more) of syrup. Maybe some 90 L crystal malt for residual sweetness. Any ideas? steve
