Thanks. We had fun with it. And, as you probably saw, one of two odd-ball flavors we tasted at the end was one of the best! Was actually hoping for something silly like that to win.

@@ClawhammerSupply yeah I was surprised by the banana being a winner. I always hated banana runts but now I’m curious 🍌

угарнул))

Check out the "Her First Beer" video on our channel. We made it specifically for beginners.

Wait, which Brian McGonagle is this. VW???

I’ll check that one out. Yeah man, from VW! Been a long time! Glad to see you’re doin well and still making sweet videos.

🤙🤙🤙

Thanks!

It ain't bad!

Listen, i've lived with this secret long enough. That's exactly how it happened. Am I excited about this monster I created? Not exactly. But there's no going back now.

Thanks, Kaleb

Thanks duder!

Hahaha. I felt like I didn't have any "seltzer appropriate" attire, so I picked that shirt up the morning we shot that vid. Pretty sure if we re-post this to tiktok or something one of us needs to still have the labels on our clothes so we don't get banned.

100% true story.

Hahaha. Yeah. We were def. trolling. BUT we made, tried, and actually liked the thing we were sort of making fun of. So, i guess the joke was on us at the end of the day.

@@ClawhammerSupply power to ya! I don't necessarily hate white claws and other seltzer drinks but I hate that they kinda shoved craft beer to the side. I'll stick to things with character and taste lol

We're gonna fill em with beer!

He is. And his arms really are that long.

Thanks!

Sounds like every vodka drink ever, honestly. I'm assuming it's mostly for people that want the effects, but not the flavor.

It’s for people who don’t want to consume a lot of carbs or calories.

@@marcoz2470 You can brew beer that is equal in calories, and is fully dry (so low carb), but far more flavorful. For example, a 750 ml bottle of Jester King's Le Petite Prince, an absolutely amazing beer, is about the same calories as a 12 oz Truly. Or, you can opt for an ounce of very flavorful spirits for the same calories (just avoid rums, unless you've done your research, and know which ones haven't been backsweetened). I'm not saying people shouldn't enjoy a hard seltzer, just that there are more interesting options that fit the profile of low carb, and low calorie. The people who seek hard seltzers generally aren't looking for challenging or interesting drinks. I think they just want something that tastes pleasant, and gives them a buzz. 🤷

@@marcoz2470 so the alcohol doesn't have any...? ;)

@@Vykk_Draygo to each their own.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not because I've tried this, but from my experience making mead. Fruit flavors often require a surprising amount of sweetness.

Great suggestion. I think that's what was missing. A lot of the flavors we expected to like ended up being "duds" probably for that very reason.

It certainly works, or did for mine!I made an apple sour batch and the flavour didn't come at all without a sweetener!

In hindsight, agreed.

Force carb

Oh yeah, this is definitely food science!

How does propylene glycol effect the flavor?

@@ipodhty Propylene glycol is not a good taste or maybe even it could impact mouth feel. It is unnatural. I can only suggest you try something with it. I make my own carbonated (and un-carbonated) mineral waters in five gallon kegs. I had searched for lots of sources of flavorings and everything I found with propylene glycol ruined my mineral waters.

@@mutantryeff could be doing something to the surface tension

@@ipodhty I wouldn't think that is the issue. If you can find a small bottle of any flavor with it, you'd have to just experience it. There are many places to get flavors. One in Las Vegas is called something like one-on-one flavors. There is also a better place, but the name isn't on the tip of my tongue. Once you experience it, you'll really understand it. Maybe I'm too picky, but I've probably spent between $250 and $500 to experiment with flavors for my mineral waters. I've ordered from many different sources. All have that same issue. If I could find a solution, I'd be thrilled. By the way, I'm a homebrewer. I've won 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze at the California State Fair in 2020 - the last time they had a homebrew competition. I don't even drink anymore, as I'm too critical of all beer.

We did a banana beer with decoction. The beer sucked but the decoction process is legit.
