Have you tried chappos scratch ginger beer, it's a cracker. I personally add 1 small chilli to the boil and a bottle of buderim ginger refresher cordial at flameout. Makes a delicious drop.

I can share some maybe not so friendly simple recipe's. Anti Inflammatory I have called them.
Non alchoholic or the other..I've got one keg ferment carbonating atm around 4%ABV.
Ever tasted fresh ginger juice? its burning too.

I make a simple recipe with loads of real ginger root pulverised and pressure cooked, blended sparged.
A tad of a high end chilli. Not much else other than the sugars you use.

Ginger Warmer. 21lt (Its a work in progress)
1200g Ginger Root. (Smashed/pulverised with a meat tenderising Hammer in a plastic bag so it doesn't fly everywhere)
Then pressure cooked in 4 lt water with 1 tsp salt. Pureed. All added to the boil @ 5 min.

Grains:
2.5kg Marris Otter - 71.4%
0.75kg Crystal Malt - 21.4%
0.25kg Raw Sugar - 7.1%(boiled and added to cube)
Mashed high at~ 69c for residual sweetness
Boil: slowly for um something like 3 slow hours ( distractions)
Ginger pulp added @ 5min
5g Fresh cracked Coriander seed @ 5min (Optional)
2 lemons juice and rind @ 2min (Optional)
5 Orange Habanero chilli deseeded @ 2min (Chili options etc)

Double handful of Fresh picked basil @ flame out. (Very optional. report after months of mellowing etc)
The herbs can be powerful.

cubed above 90c.

US-05 yeast
OG = 1.040
FG = 1.014
ABV = ? ~ 3.9% (after keg ferment carbonation)
Color = 26.1 EBC
