The "report this post" is at the bottom of every post to the board. You use it to report a post to the moderating team when a post contains inappropriate material such as porn, offensive language etc.
To send a private message to a contributor, use the "pm" link, which allows you to send a personal message to a contributor. Usually, people send a personal message rather than an email. When you send a pm, the ahb site notifies the reciever that there is a message waiting on the board to be read. It is netiquette, not to ask for, or give out personal email details. There are many stories of people whose email details have been abused.
In answer to your question, Country Brewer Ginger beer packs are available from the Country Brewer stores,

Back to the ginger beer discussion, the overall flavour is a balance of ginger flavour, carbonation, alcohol, body and sweetness. The sweetness cannot come from regular sucrose or dextrose, as these will be consumed by the yeast leaving no residual sweetness. So the end result is dry, unless you use an artificial sweetner, which then leads to other unusual flavours.
This applies to all fermented beverages. The sweetness in standard beer comes from long chain malt sugars that the yeast cannot convert. This leaves a malty sweetness in a beer.
