hi...i've read a few threads on ginger beer but am after specific answers...
just bought my first coopers ginger beer kit...
questions as follows...
[1] the yeast that comes with it what type of yeast is it ?...if its not a ale yeast am i better off using an ale yeast?
[2] it reckons you add 1 kg sugar (cane i suppose) how's this pull up taste wise? am i better off adding dextrose...or even say some LDM/dextrose to 1 kg?...if so what ratio ya reckon?
[3] anyone got a rough FG for one of these kits ?
[4] have read others add freshly grated ginger (boiled to kill any nasties) to the kit to give a kick...how much gram wise ? does it even need it?...
[5] anyone ever added a small boil of hops to this kit (say 10g willamette or cascade or amarillo) if so what did you use ? ...did it work ?...what hops schedule you use ?...
[6] what bulk priming amount of sugar per litre is required ?
[7] any other tips and stuff appreciated please..
cheers simpletotoro
