Home brewed energy drinks

I still have plenty of energy drink left.  However, when it's gone, I think I'll try something new.

If we can home brew an effective chain lube, we can home brew a decent sport drink, too.

Seth Hosmer just posted his recipe.  Looks pretty good. 

Gewilli, a mad scientist, also posted a recipe of sorts, across two posts.  It's a little harder to read than Seth's.  Okay, a lot harder, but worth reading.  Read the comments, too. 

Another recipe I used for years - diluded apple juice. 

Actually, one time, I had my 12 year old nephew in the car with me, and he saw a water bottle full of this.  He asked what it was, to which I told him "diluded apple juice."  He drank the bottle and said "MMm, that's good.  Do they make diluded orange juice, too?"

Diluded apple juice then became the cool drink with the boys in his neighborhood for the rest of the summer.

Deluded, huh? Are the apples delusional about being pears? Or perhaps delusions of grandeur?

Now diluted apple juice -- that's about the only way I let my kids drink the stuff. I wouldn't go near deluded juices, OTOH.

Deluded produce is the new organic. In time, you'll catch up.

Sports drink as chain lube?

I don't think that would work, but by all means, try it out and let me know how it goes for you!

The deluted racer drinks diluted juice after chasing sheep. Even if only in his mind, he is fastest.

Thanks GeWilli. So how would you change SEED? What would you use in place of the Malto? Or would you just omit it?

Cool, thanks. I'm reading the Ominvore's Dilemma, and the corn thing seems to be covered there quite extensively.

I hear you on the food/drink thing, too. I feel food should be actual food, like a granola bar or something. Drink can have the quick acting stuff in it.
