Hard Kool Aid

[cfjhsb]

Was going to make some hard Kool Aid for the wife and am wondering what kind of sugar I should use to boost the ABV? Corn sugar, table sugar, something else?

By hard Kool Aid I assume you mean something seltzer-like. I would recommend corn sugar. Some may say it makes no difference, but it's metabolically m oreexpensive for yeast to use table sugar (sucrose) than it is for them to use corn sugar (glucose).

I don't know if I'd really call it that or not. Basically, it's just Kool-Aid with some yeast stirred in. I allow it to ferment for about a month, just like beer or cider, and then bottle it. Sometimes I'll back-sweeten it with some Splenda depending on the taste. The alcohol doesn't get very high so was looking for a way to kick it up a notch.

Pour vodka into it
