Just trying something different while the next batch of beer brews.
Pretty much what I wanna do is make an alcoholic drink with artificial orange juice sachets.
What I though I would try is get a beer yeast (or wine?, not too sure) and a kg of dextrose, put that in the fermenter and let the yeast do its thing for a however long it takes, which should give me a 23L solution of alcohol ~4.5%. I would then add enough sachets of artificial fruit juice to sweeten to taste. I'll use sugar free artificial juice so I don't have to worry about over carbing it, then i'll bottle carb it for a few weeks at least.
Am I right in thinking this will work for what I want to achieve, or have I completely missed a fundamental step that will make this fail?
