Strongbow dark fruit - will it surge?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2024
- I wondered what would happen if a can of Dark Fruit cider was put through a Guinness ultrasonic surger.
The foam it produces is a fetching shade of pink, and quite nice to drink as a thick foam.

"& also for Scottish children" nearly killed me... 😂
Me too.. I just made a huge mess on my keyboard. That's what I love about Thinkpad's protective screen! Made by experts, used by idiots. ;)
Spat my tea..
just like the scottish children
He won the internet for today!
@@jmr he does this often!
You can get gravy in the same cans, you have a carbonator, and a surger... Now I'm not saying to combine all three but...
Gravy, will it carbonate? We have to know.
Yes, this is for science
This is gonna be a gravey mistake.
Someone's holiday meal is about to become more interesting.
@@ragetist I'm going to try and play peas-maker before someone else gets roasted.
I just love these random Clive bits... Once in a while between teardowns and such.
I'm certain we've witnessed a paid endorsement. It'd be cool seeing that gadget in pieces.
Pretty sure he already did a teardown on this.
there's absolutely nothing random about this. eventually, Clive will have researched the carbonation/decarbonation characteristics of every alchoholic beverage, it will probably result in a nobel prize or something (or whatever the scottish version of the nobel prize is)
Sodastream breathes a sigh of relief.........
For now.
Next up: can a Sodastream restore the carbonation of a flattened cider? 😅
You're doing the lord's work. If you hadn't tried it, how would we all know that it didn't work?
Which lord?
@Bob-bo8ik you know... the real one?... duh🤣

I subscribed to this channel a decade or more ago for the electronics tomfoolery, but the alcohol and misc shenanigans videos are my favorites.
I happen to have a friend who prefers largely-flat bubbly drinks, she’d probably love this thing! Thanks for the experimentation, as usual
Probably can get the same result by just leaving the can open for a few hours.
I prefer flat fizzy drinks. I just pour and stir with a fork til it stops fizzing! Perfect because every restaurant also has forks so it works at home or out.
The "Scottish children" dig got me good, though I'm sufficiently old that bottles of Tennents were basically the only option I had as a callow youth. Nowadays I live in the Netherlands and get four-packs of Dark Fruits from the local British import shop for about three euro a can.
70/- or 80/- or did you pick and mix?
Nice customized glass!
The poor folk at St James Gate Brewery in Dublin probably have their heads in the their hands here wondering what they have unleashed but this is what the Tube is all about creative intelligent genius nice one Big Clive
They probably projected a profit before spending any monies in production, those cats sitting at a long oak table talking about with each other until the chair at the end of the table gives it a go or no
Big Clive pint glasses? Where do we order them?
It was a gift from Scrufdog, but the image and embroidery files for custom merch are available on my website.
@@bigclivedotcom This is the sort of thing that makes you better than most other people on this platform I was going to ask the same question and instead of trying to profit like most youtubers would you just say here is how you can make/order them yourself if you want.
Haha, he's got a The Big Clive pint-glass, too! 🍺🍺🍺
Well done doing a shout out to Scruff as well.
My mates always joke about dark fruits tasting like gutter water and I think Clive’s description of the beverage has cemented that ideology.
Thank you Clive! As always you’re answering life’s important questions!
NOTHING will put BigClive off trying these extremely important, highly scientific endeavors. Cheers!
Love the Big Clive beer glass.
i've seen those on the shelf at tesco for months now and i had no clue what they even did until now
Clive I've been watching your stuff for years now and have never taken the time to leave a comment. You're awesome. Love from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Your commitment to the advancement of science in the important area of drinks carbonation is most admirable!
Many moons ago, I went to one of Diagio’s secret facilities to demonstrate some interactive tech and met the man that designed the original ultrasonic tray surge units, apparently Japan was a huge market for them. He was a fascinating guy. I wonder if he went on to develop this unit
This is first time I’ve seen your face. Cheers. Learning a lot from you as I am beginning electronics to help with my hvac inverter repair business.
So glad to see these drinks videos again, the will it carbonate videos are a fav
Sweetheart stout. Never drink the stuff but I was amazed to find it's still on sale. Real Strongbow cider was the drink of my youth.
Same over 8 years n I just lost the want in me
I believe there is a law stating the words "real" and "cider" need to be atleast 200ft away from the word "strongbow" by order of the courts.
@@jkasaunder228 you must be a boomer
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman nah mate, I'm 26 and he's not wrong. Strong bow is the coolers of cider. Tasty and sweet, but it's cider with no personality or nuance for basic bitches.
Fosters did a standard lager in cans around 2006 with a widget inside. It was dropped pretty soon after. I gave to say though it was like silk to drink. It made me realise why draught tastes so good. The good pubs control the co2 levels. It’s this perfect carbonation that gives the mouthfeel and makes it ‘easy’ to drink. How many times has someone said a certain pub dies a ‘good’ pint despite ordering the same cask as a pub that does a ‘poor’ pint
Sweet choice for glassware!! See ya Saturday!! 😅
Clive needs a segment on breakfast shows
i love the red beard , please don't ever dye it black again ! please
It'd be cool seeing that gadget in pieces.
Already done. I've taken two surger units apart.
Short and to the point: It’s worth doing.
Yes, it is. Keep it coming. Can’t wait!
So THAT'S what that device looks like. Instructions on the Guinness can always confused me until now.
Finally i see you! Totally different than i expected. Iyou are much more colorful! Toppie! 👍
Thank you, keep working.
That hat always reminds me of some light shades I had back in the mid-80s. - I believe there was a full suite of items available including curtains, pillowcases and quilt covers.
It's a waiters hat from eBay.
I love the new glass!
LOL that Guiness thing is so cool ☘️
There's something absolutely brilliant about the LED fireplace with the colors swapped for green. Looks brilliant!
It's my plasma-place.
Also using a 3W driver and three 1W star LEDs on a heatsink strip.
I’m American and took a trip to London a couple years ago. While there I wanted to tour some pubs, in the course of that, after visiting one or two and having several pints purchased by my friends. I went up to order my own looked at the menu, recognized little and saw strongbow. Thought sure, sounds lovely ordered that and we very disappointed to find it was hard cider, not beer.
Won’t make that mistake again!
Like the new beaker. Very stylish collab.
Ooh new series? I’m here for it
Interesting that it says 18+ on the can, when I'd be a wreck after six or seven of them.
Love these videos
"Because it's worth doing", m'lud.
Clive's good work is as scientifically important as "will it blend?"
All the fun toys.... Cheers.
Nice product placement 🍻 😁
I love Strongbow, hard to get here sometimes.
I read The Surge and had an early 2000s flashback
I like your Big Clive shot glass.
Thanks
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Cider is only £1.49 a bottle in Home Bargains, as opposed to £2.20+ in other places. Also, just shake the bottle and get the same effect without buying an expensive Guinness surger (although, to be fair, they have been on sale in Tesco recently). The Cherry Bakewell cider is rather nice!!
You're giving us a bad name - the kids still drink Buckfast round these parts!! 🤣🤣😂
Love it when Clive makes his alcohol a business expense.
I didn't claim this back. I probably should have.
Surge in the glass in the evening, surge in the porcelain in the morning.
"more velvety" is just marketing slang for "flat" so, im not sure what the expectation was.
pretty awesome. Need to get me one of those Guinness things.
1:00 You look cool with an afro! 💪😂
I absolutely love the campy click-bait thumbnails that he uses sometimes. too too funny
The video title had me confused before I saw what "surging" actually was. I thought Clive had found an old stock of Surge soda and was trying to mix it with something.
Nice one Clive :) at least I know it's a drinkable beverage without the c02, goodbye constant cider burps :p love you Clive! All the best, 8-bit x
I agree Clive! The scientific value of these experiments are vastly underestimated in modern laboratories. Will it surge or will it carbonate!?
Clive looking fly
Occasionally I've found Strongbow cider in the supermarket (US) - gooood stuff, knocks the socks off the competition.
Oh Foamy nice. I'm particularly found of German Beer too buddy. 🍻
Should my physical self feel composed of untold millions of minute bubbles?
Looks yummy. I'd almost freeze it so it crystalizes as it pours out.
Just as an interested enquiry, Clive, would that surge the humble Lucozade, or maybe an ice tea, or one of those odd drinks I used to buy from a corner shop, which had little blobs of stuff in them?
It only liberates gas in carbonated or nitrogenated drinks.
and now we take the flattened cider and do a how carbonated can we get it segment. One extreme to the other
Awesome!
nifty, never seen one of those before.
Was gonna get a Guinness the other day, until I noticed it was $6.99 for a pint and a half bottle...
Man I miss a good beer... or six. Damn gout.
Wonder if you could surge your previously carbonated beverages.
Surged carbonated fireball?
Clive - "has it maintaned the gas, gulp...gulp...gulp..., nope...but we have a new ingredient for an apple cider whickey smash"
I wish I could get some of that in Florida.
If it's fizzy then it's not cider. My local was the last Bulmers tied-house in the country - serving Sweet, Medium and Dry. Oh, OK, they also did Hand Grenades - a cocktail of Bulmers No.7 (think Pilsner) and sweet Special Cellar - one pint of that'd see any Strongbow off!
Clive, you are by far the most imaginative person on RUclips. I'm amazed that you think of these ideas. However, I'm dying to know one thing - what is inside the 'surger'?
Imaginative/demented... Whichever. 🤪🙄🤷
A fully teardown video with schematic has been made.
@@bigclivedotcom My apologies. I do try to watch all of your videos. I'll go and find it. Cheers!! EDIT: I did watch it - too many beers ago, I'm afraid.....
Hope you are well big man
What I do (when pouring from cans) is to prick a tiny hole in the tapered rim, opposite the pour hole.
This allows me to pour without glugs, which allows for a perfect pour of the gassiest beers.
It's all about the angle of the dangle of the glass.
For those yet to taste the drink, it's basically cassis
It will only workd on things wit protein/amino acids that have been pressurised with "guiness gas" most likely. IT is the nitrogen that reacts with the protein and I cuess coagulates it to make that thick head. It's also the same reaction that makes a cream siphon work with the lauging gas capsules. I have some faint memory of ou talking about the cream siphon at some point though. Did they stop using the widget in guiness cans since they now came up with this?
Dr Clive! ...the Surg-eon general..
There’s the sexy BigClive, filling his big bear belly again! Woof! ❤ I did enjoy seeing the the product that takes some of the co2 out. But, these bits of video that we get to see you - priceless! Big belly hugs and rubs, handsome! ❤
Bottoms up! 🍻
Although I'm mostly teetotal, I found that entertaining 👍
@0:08 - "for Scottish children..." That's my kind of babysitter!
Not only are you the scientist we need, you are the scientist we deserve. 😍🤩
Where can I buy that beer glass that you're using? I would love to add it to my collection. Cheers
It was a gift from scrufdog.
I loved Strongbow on tap, it was some 1996-2002, as I quite remember...
Pretty bland cider.
But very nice to round up your whiskey tasting, pipe- and cigar-smoking club meeting.
Just to wash down some pipe tobaccos people wanted to share...
Oh those the days. When out classmates were _young_... 🥺
edit - Strongbow was a wash-down for the hefty dose of high-fat creamery ice...
Well, as we say - who keeps company with the wolf, will learn to howl. Well, I drank with Scots mostly - and quite a sane company of Paddies too, thank you!
All of my scottish fiancées family drink dark fruits so you ain't wrong.
I might grab one of these, I like cider but like bigclive says its alchopop, and the bubbles bloat me before I even get close to a buzz.
I've led a very sheltered life, Big Clive, and I've never heard of "surging!"
Top educational content as always! I was recently making a batch of Yorkshire puddings and had read a "top tip", to put some sparkling water in with the mix to help it rise. That got me thinking, could you add the CO2 direct into the batter? Would you get turbo puddings?
I wonder if the soda water thing is inspired by tempura batter.
Maybe. Does this mean you will have some batter in the sodastream soon? Cooking with Clive has a good ring to it. 😂
first time seeing Scrufdogs logo(?), looks nice
Yes, please
1:03 - HEID, pally! HEID!
It's probably best with drinks that aren't carbonated... like Guinness 😂 or other ales or bitters ... not larger or cider etc... or white wine, Clive 🙄 😂 love the videos as always 👍
you could put it into the soda stream and give it the old 3 flatulation recarbonization.
The first thing that comes to mind that might actually work would be nitro coffee, but that would just be normal coffee?
While there's little point in trying to surge CARBONATED drinks (other than for RUclips amusement), it does work rather well with other NIGROGENATED drinks. I'm particularly fond of using it with Brewdog's "Black Heart" (nitro stout). The trick is to gently release some of the gas by piercing the can lid with a pin first. Don't let the widget "activate" (I'm not sure of the technicalities here but if you release the gas slowly enough you don't get it foaming until you use the nitro-surge).
Other nitro stouts are available (and it works equally well with those).
I've defused widget cans with the pin trick.
can you compare ordinary Guinness cans to the special surge cans the attachment is designed for. thanks.
