FSD

FSD, also known as Försökets SkärgårdsDryck is made out of a semi-secret recipe and is generally descriped as "okay" or "quite okay". FSD is a tasteful and delicious special brewage of Försöket. Only two people knows the almost forgotten-recipe but I think it's written down on a note somewhere.

Originally made to conceal the taste of the drinking water (beeing stored in a 1960ies water tank gave it a particular taste of rubber) it is nowadays enjoyed in its full right as the one-and-only drink of true Chang Shì crewmen.

Being a special brewage with a special history, it is best and traditionally cooled by means of tieing it to a stern bollard just below its cap with a firm piece of rope. This proud tradition, often accompanied by the launching of FSD song stems mostly from the need to cool the otherwise hard-to-drink solution on a boat with a shorted refridgerator. In any case, this gives this fantastic brewage the ability to muli-function as a pit log and give an approximation of the speed if the ship trough water. Here is a short summary of how to tell speed with an FSD-filled bottle:

Making some speed

• Bottle not directly behind the ship - You are standing still.
• Cap dips downward - You are making almost no speed at all.
• Bottle is tumbleing around under water - You are making some speed.
• Bottle is covered in foam, only cap is visible - You are going at full speed.
