    Brewing alcoholic cordial/seltzer

    Just looking for some advice on how I should make some low cost seltzer/alco cordial. Ideally it would be carbonated, if it could be clear as well that would be nice. I was thinking I would just use: filtered tap water raw sugar/white sugar (whatever people think is best) whichever yeast is...

    Hey guys, new brewer here from Brisbane. Good to see everyone getting along in here. I'm interested in brewing seltzer or something equivalent, a tasteless blank canvas with somewhere between 5-12% ABV. I figured before I tried anything outside the box, I'd just give brewing beer a go to give it...
