caffeine not coffee

[danmaddux]

Anyone know a good way of adding caffeine to beer without using coffee? I want a beer with a kick of caffeine without having a coffee taste. Ale not lager.

You could add guarana.

Caffeine pills like no doze.

Purebulk is a site that sells pure compounds. Careful wih pure caffine, it could be deadly.

Making a 4loco clone?

Try some Maté

Maybe steeping a bunch of tea leaves with the grains? Or just tea bags

 

[Billy-Klubb]

tea bagging beer might give it a distinct flavor, but not many will want that in their mouth.

Something like this?

Should make dosing and dissolving pretty easy...

Yeah. That liquid caffeine site is what I was looking for. I need to do a whole lot of reading on this though. Looks like its pretty easy to OD if not measured right. Lol.
Not making a 4loco but a regular ale with caffeine. I habe a blonde it make first then might get a cheap premix to try it in.

Try some Maté

San Francisco brewery MateVeza brews all of their beers with Mate'. Check them out. Naturally caffeinated. http://www.mateveza.com/

I assume you will be adding this pre-fermentation?
