Taking the caffeine out of Red Bull so I can drink it at night

Go to buyraycon.com/nilered for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
I've always liked the taste of energy drinks and for years now, I have wanted there to be caffeine-free versions (specifically Red Bull). However, it doesn't seem like that is going to happen any time soon, so I decided to try and do it myself.

I find that the main flavour contributor to energy drinks is Guarana, the fruit from Paullinia cupana. (Source: I've had Guarana juice) The fruit does contain caffeine, though. So maybe the right way to go about this might be to try to extract the flavour from the fruit and make a soda with it?

Thank you for providing this interesting fact! A few years ago on a flight I asked the flight attendant if they had Red Bull, she said no, but that there was a drink she felt tasted similar to Red Bull, and she gave me Guarana soda! Just something I remembered because of your comment.

[@Gadottinho]

We have lots of Guarana sodas here in Brazil, the one that tastes the closes to redbull, I'd say, is fantastic guaraná (the taste infinitely better than redbull tho

For anyone confused how you can talk about the pKa of something without any losable hydrogens, it’s talking about the pKa of the protonated caffeine, the “conjugate acid” (so you just imagine a hydrogen ion on the imide (the double-bonded) nitrogen. The pKa is how much you have to drop the pH (increase H+ concentration) to get it protonated again.

[@thatguyintheconments]

[@TehUltimateSnake]

Now explain like I’m 5.

[@user-ru7ip9yo8o]

@@TehUltimateSnake Alright, imagine you have a special toy that can stick to other toys when you touch it. But to make it stick, you need to give it a tiny, invisible piece called a "proton." The pKa is like a secret code that tells you how many pieces you need to give to the toy to make it sticky. If the pKa is low, you need to give it fewer pieces to make it sticky. If it's high, you need to give it more pieces. So, when we talk about the pKa of something without any "losable hydrogens," we're just talking about how sticky that special toy can get when it's all charged up.

I am sure that the flavour had been affected due to the evaporation of the volatile components. As for the lighter (less full) taste, you miss the bitterness of caffeine which was reduced by at least 25% by mass. As soon as perceived bitterness has non-linear function, 25% may completely change taste profile.

"the liquid in this beaker still looks a bit wet, so im going to add another liquid that will dry it out" *confused noises*

[@ArloMathis]

Heh. Though in all seriousness, it's relating to water content rather than physically being liquid or solid. You can extract the H20 molecules themselves from a solution with the liquid he added, leaving it 'dry' in that it's just the *other* chemicals and no water left.

[@w451-qx3kx]

i know i was like *wait a hot second*

[@BJA717]

It works for the same reason IV saline needs to be 0.9% NaCl. If the salt concentration is higher on one side of the "barrier" than the other, water will diffuse across the barrier from the lower concentration side to the higher concentration side in an attempt to balance the concentrations. In an IV, your cells would burst if there wasn't salt added (water would diffuse into the cells to try decrease intracellular solute concentration), and in this case, water diffuses from the DCM into the brine solution.
