Hi I'm swItching from beer and have found 2 kits in Nz. Mangrove Jack's and Brigalow - couple of questions
Looking at the Mangrove Jacks - it looks and appears to be a standard beer kit with ginger? I'm looking for the original ginger beer taste made when I was a kid.
The Brigalow has mixed revIews here, would probably try this one first, I see others reccomend the Buderim Ginger refresher cordial, if I'm adding that do I still add the sweetner under the lid. Also what is the best sugar to use when starting - I see option from brown/raw/white/dextrose.
If I add an extra kg of sugar to lIft the ABV, will this Overpower it as too sweet and undrinkable. I've spent a Few years perfecting making beer, and happy with my results, but this is new territory, so grateful for those who've been on this journey making ginger beer.
