Experimentations
I'm recently graduated from University. While in school I made and drank a lot of home brew. I recently passed on my old brew kit to my younger brother who is starting his post secondary education. While showing him how to get things going I tried some different things I never had the guts to do when I was making my own stuff.
Batch #1 Initial fermentation with chopped up fresh ginger
Batch #2 Iinitial fermentation with 1 L of mango juice
Batch #3 Used Icing sugar instead of corn sugar for initial fermentation.
They are in the bottles for another 2 weeks before thay are ready. Anybody tried anything else off the wall?

Can't say I've tried, but it sounds interesting....
We can't fault you for creativity.
What exactly is icing sugar???
Icing sugar is confectioners sugar, or powdered sugar. Should be pretty sweet.
That's what I thought, just wasn't sure if I was missing something.
hmm just posted this in a similar thread in the homebrewing forum

my "why not moment" was icing sugar.... used it a few years back bu ti do remember the result clearly.... it ended up giving a distinct 'tartness' to the final flavour and noted that it would most suitably be used for making an apple cider....
i also found a few years back that brown sugar with a particular yeast strain (cant remember which will have to find that log book from back then) gave a distinctive 'peach' flavour to the beer, which did not occur with any other use of brown sugar nor with any other use of that yeast strain as i recall
