    Ooooh, looky what I found.

    Homemade Energy Gels

    I started wondering about using plain barley malt, like brewers use (which is pretty much a gel as is, contains simple and complex carbs, electrolytes and protein e-venn).

    I may still do that, but this page is very interesting!

    Yeah I've been scoping out some recipes too. The little tubes from Hammer and other brands are pretty cheap. I still suck at gels, they make me gag like all get out. Probably just gagging by association because I'd always take them before races when I wanted to puke anyway. I figure if I get an empty squeeze bottle from the cake decor section at the craft store it will make it easier to fill the little bottles.
