ginger

Hey all, i have a 5L (~4L) batch of ginger beer almost ready to go and was wondering how much rum i would need to make it into dark and stormy. it will be going into one of my mini kegs.

I'm looking to put down a ginger beer this weekend, and I like the sound of Chappo's recipe in this thread: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=30492 My only concern is that it'll end up too dry after bottle carbonating/conditioning. I have no keg setup, so I can't kill the...

Hey fellow brewers, I have put a ginger beer down and used normal half teaspoon of dextrose to carbonate small bottles. After 2 Weeks bugger all fizz in bottles.Was this enough sugar to prime or is just more time needed

Hi all Coming into summer I was thinking of putting down a ginger beer. I was thinking of combining Chappo's and GravityGurus recipes and adding some ripe mango for something extra. My only question is should I add some pureed mango into the solution or if I should soak the mango with the...

hey all, looking for a GB recipe scaled to 4.5L. my rough outline is 1kg ginger 500g sugar 1 lemon - juice only water to 4.5L 1 red chilli (maybe) generic brewers yeast. it's going to be going into my spare 5L Demi. Q1. is a 5L demi, 5L total capacity (right to the top)?

about to make a ginger beer and do i need to peel the ginger, boil the ginger and strain it or just chuck it all chopped up into the fermenter??

My wife brought home a superb ginger beer from Fever Tree. I was wondering if anyone had a recipe that would produce something close to it. It seems a lot stronger than what I normally make. http://www.fever-tree.com/

Howdy All I've been making some Ginger Beer that I've been really happy with from my LHBS. Its something I think they make up themselves and its packaged from Ausbuy? Anyway, its simply, 200ml of Ginger Essence (see attached photo), some ginger beer yeast (not sure what as it has no labels)...

G'day all, my missus does a ginger beer from scratch. Its yeast water and ginger fed daily for 7 days. Im wondering if the ginger is a fermneting agent or is it just acting as a flovour?. Also how could i do an alc reading on it?. Cheers Greg

Hi everyone! My names Ken and im new here, im just starting out brewing so be nice, haha. So im making a ginger beer, from scratch and on the cheap. its been brewing away for about a week now, and fairly quietly, but consistently (just groups of bubbles on the surface). would a yeast nuitrient...

Howdy All Got a ginger beer kit from the LHB store. Effectively its 150ml of Ginger Essence and i've made it up with 1.3kg of raw sugar and 1.3kg of Dextrose and the ginger beer yeast it comes with. OG was 1042 and its been going for 9 days now. Checked FG tonight and its only got down to...

Hi Guys, I am brand new to 'Non Beer' Brewing and thought that, as I have a huge love of Ginger, I would try to brew a GB that bites the mouth that drinks it. I found what appears to be a good recipe which has, amongst other things, 500g of fresh ginger, Buderim Ginger Marmalade and 11 sliced...

I'm about to try my first ginger beer brew, but have been told any future beer brews will have a ginger taste if fermented in the same carbouy? Can anyone tell me if this is the case or not? Thanks

Howdy All Doing up a batch of ginger beer and want to add a bit of lemon bite/refreshness to it. It will be just a coopers standard GB kit, using kit yeast and prob 1.5kg of dextrose. I found my last batch to weak at around 2.5%. My brother has successfully added a lemon tang to his by using...

Sucking one of these down at the moment. So good. I'm pretty keen to do a ginger beer (been thinking about it for a while) and i'd love to make one very similar to Matso's- same balance of sweetness/tartness/ginger bite. Has anyone tried a clone, or has anyone had Matso's ginger beer and reckon...

Hey all, I told my mum I'd do some ginger beer for xmas lunch but haven't been able to find a kit anywhere. So I am limited to what I could grab at the supermarket, which is: Dextrose Coopers brew enhancer 1 (dextrose + malt) Dry ginger powder Half kilo fresh ginger A lemon 2 bottles ginger...

Howdy people, Want to try a ginger beer but was wandering wich of the kits would taste more like the bundy GB? Thx Doug

I bought a Brewcraft Ginger Beer kit today, mainly because it said it had a separate artificial sweetener sachet and I'm not a fan of these sweeteners as they have a very bland taste. In the kit, there is a sachet of yeast, a sachet of sweetener and an unlabelled tin and a small clear pouch of...

G'day, After years of beer brewing I've had a go at one of the GB recipes in the forum - thanks. It's bubbling away now(Father @ Son version2). I have never second fermented when beer brewing/ racked . But with the GB is this a must. Could someone outline the purpose of pouring the ferment...

G'day all, I've been brewing mid-strength ginger beer as per coopers and brigalow can instructions for some time now... I'd like to increase the brew's alcohol content, maybe mix some extra ingredients in for a variety of flavour, create a dryer (less sweet) brew AND improve the level of...
