Thanks Rob, that's pretty much how I do it too, was interested to see peoples opinions or if there's a golden rule of clear vs cloudy. I tried clear and it just felt wrong to me for some reason without the cloudy colour but Ill demo both ways with the lastest batch prior to giving out to the...

Hey guys, Quick question here: so I made another batch of Ginger beer half way through this year for Christmas presents and was wondering, do you pour ginger beer tallies all out in one go like beer avoiding disturbing the settlement the down the bottom? Or is it better to give it a turn before...

Hello supreme court of brewing love, I have a confession to make, its been a while since I been back on here but everything's been going so smooth with my brewing... -until- I decided to make a batch of ginger beer the usual way I do where I buy a kit from the LHB and add some flavours to the...

Wow. Colony West ay? Ill see if they have it at brewers Choice. Might grab some online, Thanks for the hot tip! Really diggin GB as a side hobby to my beer crazy :beerbang: So heres an update of my GB. I tried it 5 days ago and tasted good I think? :unsure: The problem now is my lack of...

hahahha Thanks Dave :lol: Pure Blonde was to watch the belly line and to try something other than Fat Yak recipes.. Yeah Ill do a test tonight Im pretty sure its not infected but would it definitly be noticable if it was bad?? HB Ginger beer is a bit of an aquired taste anyways.

Hey Guys, Havent been around these parts for a while.. BUT IM BACK!! So as the topic mentions I had a crack at a Brewers Choice Ginger Beer last time which came out awesome (well as good as a kit gets I guess) So I picked up another one whilst adding a few additions of around 800gms fresh...

Hi guys, geez havent been around here for a while! Been too busy playing around with Fat Yak recipes :P So after successfully nailing the GB kit recipe (i know I know its a kit, you cant F%#K it up - I did but it was still good..) and having a significant amount of ginger in the fridge about...

Had the same problem bro. I found the longer I left it bottled the more the smell slowly left the GB. By the end of about 5 months you couldnt smell it at all it was perfect!!

Thanks mate, appreciate the advice. The "dry ingriedients" that were added would have the sugar amount in it (from what I could see by eye for the carbing) Im just unsure how much sugar is in there. If I add more would I run the risk of bottle bombs? I guess I could just drop a carb drop in each...

Hey guys, Sorry to be a pain and asking the annoying things, trust me Ill be going through and reading the guides before my second attempt. I just decided to try out a batch of non-alcoholic Ginger Beer yesterday when I was picking up my beer supplies so I got a kit from the LHBS Brewers...

Sounds good, have to try this when I get back from Japan. Wonder if they sell any crazy kits over there?? I like the hops taste so definitely keen to amp that up. Do you buy the hops as pellets and just add that to the steeping liquid? as for the yeast is one sachet enough or do you need 2 or...

Took and OG and FG but didnt record it :( I brewed it for 2 weeks during the cold snap at around 18dg mark and the gravity had settled for 2 days before bottling. Ill write out what did its pretty much the process listed in the previous thread...

Okay Okay. I officially out douched myself.. The beer came out great, perfect almost (compared to kit that is) Awesome body, kinda fruity and it has a killer bitterness after taste though and crazy head. Now im going to shoot myself for A) freaking out and ranting on a forum and B) not writing...

nope. the end did blow off the end of my little bottler since i didn't push it on right. At the most that would only effect the beers that over poured.
