Gatorade Beer

[Evorgrah]

This may sounds crazy and I haven't had a chance to look up all the ingredients in gatorade but could you not use gatorade as a base instead of water in a boil? I know there has to be plenty of fermentable sugars in it and it would have a lot of flavor already. Just add hops! maybe a lil more LME? I was just curious as to what ya'll think lol? Cheers.

That sounds disgusting, but have at it if you're so inclined.

I'm with whatsleftofyou in saying that it sounds extremely gross.

Gatorade has a fungicide in in.

Yes, called sodium benzoate....usually called a perservative when put in food.

FYI to OP: Yeast is a fungus; so hopefully you can see where rockfish is going here....

Just add some vodka to your gatorade and get wasted like 17 year olds everywhere.

Damn.

Googling Gatorade wine nets some interesting posts by clearly underaged hooch makers. You might want to look there for inspiration.

Some flavors also have monopotassium phosphate as well

If only to be able to turn to others and say, "You've got to taste how gross this is", I'd be interested to try this.

But yes, sounds rather repulsive.
