The most random thing happened the other day at work,
there we were sitting quite happily bored waiting for lunchtime when these two dollybirds dressed in red bull gear walked in, said good morning and started handing out free cans of red bull, they even stocked up our fridge before wishing us a good day and departing in a mini-cooper with a 5 foot red-bull can on the back.
It was only after this bizarre red-bull moment that I realised that I had missed my chance to cash in on getting enough free cans to start a red-bull TC,
has anyone tried making TC from red bull?

Re: a red bull moment
Strikes me as against the principle of homebrewing of using nice pure ingredients to make a nice unprocessed product. But then again it would be brewing something out of something else, which is the cornerstone – “We could make beer out of beans†principle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull
can of Red Bull from the United Kingdom states the ingredients as: Water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, caramel and riboflavin. In comparison, a can of Sugar Free Red Bull from the United Kingdom states the ingredients as: water, acidity regulator sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine, glucuronolactone, sweeteners (acesulfame K, aspartame), caffeine, inositol, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, thickener xanthan gum, colours (caramel, riboflavin).
Taurine is a naturally occurring organic acid in the human body and is also present in foods like poultry, fish, and scallops. In addition to being an antioxidant, it is mainly used by the body during physical exertion and stress.[7] In its natural form, taurine is derived from animal tissue, having been first isolated from bull (Bos taurus) bile, hence the name "Red Bull"; however, the taurine used in the Red Bull drink is produced synthetically. It is also the first energy drink to list glucuronolactone in its ingredient list. Glucuronolactone is a carbohydrate involved in detoxification. The chemical naturally occurs in the human body, but is also present in foods like grain and wine.[7]
