Fermenting coke

[Dave70]

Fruity Lexia? Is that like fruit specific reading impairment?

 

[Dave70]

Anyway, why ferment Coke when you can make a lovely looking reduction and eat it.

I thought a lot of the young kids now drink straight cordial before going out, turns my stomach just thinking about it, did something similar myself, hung over and in the supermarket picked up a small carton of orange juice and downed it, only to realise it was concentrated.

A wee dram o vanilla extract anyone?

At least with a goon bag you get a blow up pillow at the end....

The best thing to do with coke is put Mentos in the bottle.....

Found this a few years ago, guy "successfully" ferments coke
He admits it tastes terrible, which thoroughly convinced me to not bother trying it

Well if it's already been done I won't bother haha.

Now mentos that's an idea kids will love that

Can we add water and ferment Vegemite.....?

 

[Mardoo]

The salt would probably be at the toxic level for the yeast. Plenty of melanoidins there though. A bit of dry-Miting perhaps?

 

[BrosysBrews]

I read somewhere (another forum I think) about someone fermenting a dextrose/brown sugar mix with soda stream diet cola flavor as it contains no suger and an artificial sweater. No idea if it is any good though

 

[waggastew]

I brewed a pale ale a few years back with a % of coke as an adjunct. Left a chemically caramel taste, not a huge success!

 

[Kumamoto_Ken]

Uncle of mine used to go one better then the mosey and bring a cask of this

to family BBQs. Dear gods it was awful. Tasted like unfermented grape juice.

The green briefcase! As pointed out it later becomes the silver pillow (and possibly a footy briefly before the snooze).

This has got to be the oddest thread I've yet read. Not including political discussions.

Akin to reading on a dessert/pastry forum if it's possible to make doughnuts from sand.

Well, I did have a cast iron three ring burner resting upside down in a tub of cheap cola to get rid of some rust on it. After about 6 or 7 days there was this disgusting fermented surface mess forming which did certainly did not smell of lavender and roses. Not sure of the chemical process involved, it was interesting though.

Its the phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is the active ingredient in rust converter. It converts the iron oxide into a protective layer of iron phosphate or something like that.

 

[madpierre06]

It certainly was a protective layer of something. Dirty white mouldy looking smelly gunk.
