But I think you are exagerating the differences between a cheaper do it yourself wpi/c + dex/malto shake (which will clearly be cheaper) and something called Surge.....

I probably am because I was thinking that what you were describing was somewhat different than Surge. I may be wrong. WPI isn't 100% hydrolyzed whey and my understanding is that 100% hydrolyzed whey is what you want post workout. It's been a couple of years so again, I may be wrong.

When I first started trying to get my pwo drink right a couple of years ago, I ended up making a homemade recipe for Surge that tasted horrible. I did it because it was cheap. I could only stand it for a couple of weeks before I broke down and paid for the Surge.

The only reason AFAIK to pay for the more expensive stuff is the taste. If you just want the drink and you want it relatively cheap, but the ingredients and mix your own. I can't for the life of me find the site that I ordered from. I do remember 50g of protein, 100g of maltodextrin (or 50/50 malto and dextrose), 5g glutamine, and 5g BCAA's.
