        Well, maybe someone decides to try making sodas or iced tea or something...

        The perfect Oros mix, maybe

          I would love to have a hard ice tea on tap. Something like Smack Republic's ice tea.

          Have been playing around with the idea to cold steep tea in 10L of water and add enough sugar to bump it to about 3-4%abv. US-05 yeast. Drop in some lemon juice and lemons when primary fermentation is done. Rack off yeast and keg with sugar or honey to back sweeten.

          Watch my family get plastered!

            I love a good ginger ale and ginger brandy on a hot summer day.... Chucking that in a keg might be a good idea.
            Or maybe making a light ginger ale beer, and mix that with ginger brandy in the keg and pouring it over sliced lemons might give you a nice drink for December.
            Pity I dont have a keg system yet
