I wouldn't use warheads as their cores are chalky and it'd probably mess with your fermentation pH.
Maybe make Mountain Dew (aka moonshine) out of Mountain Dew?
I do like the idea of Mountain Dew! It’s only go perfectly with the Cheeto liquor lol. Though; i do love the idea of warheads, chalky or not, I like sour stuff lol
I did some pure Mountain Brew™ few weeks ago. It only fermented for a week and it was around 8% ABV. 10/10, would recommend.
I plan to make a mead with it next batch. Any tips or other suggestions?
I'm kind of new to brewing alcohol.
Oooh, glad to hear it worked out for you! And hmm, mead may be the one thing I haven’t brewed yet, but biggest things are always sanitize and write stuff down. Best investment you can make equipment wise in my opinion is something to control fermentation temperatures; hot side is easy, cooling stuff down is a bit more expensive, typically a spare fridge. It’s definitely worth it though, it made my beers go from “oh these are good” to consistently some of the best beers I’ve ever had.
The sourness is from an acid, so maybe it'll balance out?
it's possible, I tried making a candy wine once and the chalk from the centers of the atomic fireballs messed it up pretty badly, not that I really expected it to be good, but...
Obviously warheads are sour while atomic fireballs aren't so ymmv
