I also like bourbon and ginger ale, if I can find the good stuff. I make my own ginger ale, its better than anything that I have found on the market but its a pain to make. I mean that literally it is painful. My recipe requires that I peel a lot of lemons and the acid always gets under my fingernails.

It was my own recipe with Kellogg Frosted Flakes
http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 32&t=48273
100liters of water
2.5kg of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes
17.5kg of white sugar
100grams yeast

Used food processor to grind up Flakes.
Though next time I am going to double up on the Flakes

I used Frosted Flakes as I couldn't get regular Kellog Corn Flakes.

It was Based off of Odins Corn Flake recipe.

Thanx TP

I like the taste of this (because its good or because I made? who knows lol)

I am not sure what I am tasting, the corn or just plain old ethanol, but even with double shots it's not bad at all.

This is un-aged or flavored, just aired for 24hrs and then chilled in freezer.

Have you tried Vernors Mitchy? I grew up in Detroit and was weened on that stuff. Really really good ginger ale. its available in many, but not all, places around the country.
In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice there is.

Sorry lol I was a little slow this morning.. I was thinking of these:

But I guess that would work anyway. I just assumed all the cereals had a bunch of preservatives in them that would mess up the yeast.

Good job man. I may have to check that recipe out.
