I recently posted a recipe for a ginger beer which I am now drinking. linky
It tastes ok for the first few seconds but the sacharine after taste is terrible. At least it is for me anyway. I can't stand diet soft drinks or anything with aspartame in it.
The brew kit I used for my first attempt was the Coopers GB. Today I bought the Morgan's one which also contains fake sugars before coming home and tasting this one properly. There is another brand at my HBS which does not have any sacharine stuff in it. It is in a mostly white cardboard cylinder can with green lettering and sounds like it just has packets of powder in it when you rattle it. Does this ring a bell to anybody that has used it?
Has anybody else had the sacharine blues with ginger beers?
Cheers
