Favourite sports drink recipe?
 

Not really a home-brew (it's a mix), but my favorite is Crystal Lite in the
grapefruit flavor. Very refreshing and tasty. If I want calories, gorp does
the trick.

What do you put in your homebrew (dunno if that pun is intended :)
sports drink? What's the secret for the ultimate cycling fuel?

I use a recipe I found on the Internet (it may originally be from John
Forester's book): 1 2-qt envelope of Kool-Aid powder, 1/2 cup sugar,
and 1 tsp salt. Makes 2 quarts. I mentioned it to my doctor (who is
also a cyclist, though I don't know how serious), and he said it
sounded fine; he also said he usually suggested powdered Gatorade
mixed at half-strength.

I find that kiwi-strawberry flavor is lighter and not as
sticky-tasting as some of the other flavors, while cherry goes well
with fig bars.

I'm thinking about trying it without the Kool-Aid.

I use organic white grape juice diluted with water. It works real well,
tastes great and it's real food!

I use about 100 cc of dextrose and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large water
bottle.

Actually, I like it better without the Kool-Aid. 3 tbsp. sugar and 1/3
tsp. salt per 24-oz bottle.

Where can you buy pure dextrose in the USA?
All they have at the super market is sucrose.

The first place I'd look for it would be a certain
local specialty foods store that I *know* has it
(Famous Foods Ltd, in Vancouver BC).

Other possiblities might include wine/beer home brewing
shops, health food stores, or even plain old drugsores.


cheers,

I got it at a home brewing place -- it's cheap. You can also buy
maltodextrin.

Sorry about the delay in replying. I had to wait until I went home to
look up where I bought it. It came from an outfit called Supplement
Direct. They have a web site at http://www.supplementdirect.com.
Currently an 11 pound container is $10 from them.
