minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•6 months agoNo joke, it’s all the seltzer marketing that gets people to spend way more on way less alcohol. It was successful as fuck. Just look at all the streamers shilling it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•6 months agoHow is it spending way more on way less alcohol? In my area a 12 pack of Trulys is comparable to a 12 pack of Corona and they have roughly the same alcohol content
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•6 months agoA 8 pack of seltzer here is $20 and 12 pack of beer $15.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•6 months ago 8 pack of seltzer… $20 Christ. 12 packs of seltzer here are like $16, beer not much cheaper maybe $14
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoI should clarify. That’s the vodka seltzer not the malt stuff.

minus-squareSolidGruelinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoIf I was making hard seltzer at scale, I’d consider two options: Cut some Everclear 97% and some flavorant into water, and throw 30psi of CO2 on for it a few days (expensive) Ferment some dextrose, rack it off the yeast cake, add some flavorant, and throw 30psi of CO2 on it for a few days (cheap) My hombrew club hated me.
