Howdy!
i've been lurking the forums for a couple years now, but just recently joined to ask a question for a friend that i could not find in previous posts.
i've been brewing for about 3 years, and learned most of what i know about homebrewing thanks to the people in this forum!... and the book "How to Brew"
my buddy wants to try and make a "trash can" punch. he has done some of his own research, and decided that he wants it to be a malt liquor based carbonated punch, please don't ban me for this... not my idea![Drunk :drunk: :drunk:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-155.gif)
anyway he wants the malt liquor to be somewhere in the 20-30% range and as clear in color as possible so that the punch he adds to it will dilute it down to about 10% and won't have a "beer" looking color. he really could care less about the taste of the malt liquor, since the punch will dominate in that category.
he is still in the theoretical stage of this venture. once he finds a good recipe to try, he will start the R&D stage with a little of my help throughout his 1st one or two batches.
well, is this even possible? is he getting in over his head or what trying to make a 20% ABV malt liquor? any info you might have will help!
