Inspired by a good friends winter tea recipe I decided to try her concoction as a brew. I'm fairly new to brewing/mead making and I would love to hear your thoughts. The recipe is as follows: 400ml of fresh lemon juice 200g of fresh cut and pealed ginger (pounded with a mortar and pestle) 3g...

Whilst more in the spirit of cheating than brewing, can anyone see why dumping a couple of bottles in a corny and gassing it up wouldn't work? Kind of like making a punch if you will. If know one talks me out of it I'll post a few pics of the operation and keg shaking procedure. I've got a...

So I have 20 L of Coopers GB brewing as of 1 hour ago.. I used 1kg of dextrose and also added 500ml of buderim GB cordial, was reading a forum post of people doing this, but I am still unsure.. Will this be a failure? This is my first Kit brew of anything ever. Cheers guys, Nick

Hi all, Yes, I have tried the search function and I'm not finding exactly what I'm after... Basically, I want to brew a tasty, sweet-style non-alcoholic ginger beer using malt extract as the 'sugar' base to hopefully add a little body and a bit of 'specialness' :) I'm opening to the idea of...

I've got a suped up batch of Coopers Ginger beer fermenting at the moment & I'm thinking to myself why not throw a few bottles of Apple juice and some Lactose over the yeast cake when it's finished. Is this a stupid idea? will the coopers ginger ale yeast/cider combination be horrible? It...

Does anyone have or know a source for a true Ginger Beer "plant" or SCOBY containing Saccharomyces florentinus and Lactobacillus hilgardii?

Hi all, Read through a number of posts and saw many people state that the Coopers GB kit was too sweet and left a bad after taste... Then I read that many people felt there was no after taste... So I thought the only way I will know is if I do it myself... Recipe as follows: Coopers GB...

Never liked ginger beer... but the missus likes it (and hasn't liked anything else I've brewed so far!) I had a bad experience with a cider kit (taste wise) - apple juice fermented with sn9 turned out much better than my black rocks kit - and I'm a little hesitant to just buy a cooper's ginger...

I have made a brigalow ginger beer(non-alco) and just tasted it, it is very bland has plenty of fizz but not sweet enough or gingery enough. Any suggestions to improve the next one would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I am wanting to do a non alcoholic ginger beer for the family. Having browsed through a pile of posts. What I have gleaned out of it is: Coopers kits can be too sweet, just right, need lots of additives to make worth drinking. Brigalow gets mostly bad press though one comment was the family...
