Hi Guys -

My GF would like me to make some alcoholic ginger beer - has anyone got any good recipes?

Cheers -
Cero.

Back in January, GMK posted a Ginger Beer recipe that I subsequantly made up enjoyed. More importantly so did SWMBO.

I just did a quick search and the thread is of course still there. Just looking at it, the only change I made was to use the yeast that came with the kit. Ken suggests using a champagne yeast.

I made GMK's ginger beer, with champagne yeast. It was great. I recommend double the amount of ginger, though.

My Ginger Beer Recipee.

The only changes taht i have recommended to make to my Ginger Beer Recipee are to add 100gms of grated Ginger to the secondary.

As my mate Walt Daly so eloquently put it - "we can now do Dry Gingering""

Hope this helps.

Here is the link to the topic with my Ginger Beer recipe in it.
I'll be brewing this again soon too.

Beers,

Hi Doc & Others

Thanks for the ideas

Where do I get corn syrup from? Coles or Woollies I assume??

Homebrew shop will sell corn syrup to you.

Guys

after reading the thread with docs appeasement ginger beer, i cant seem to work out how Doc carbonated it. Imay have missed it somewhere.

ill give this recipe a shot and bottle it - i normally sugar prime the bottles. i doubt Doc does it that way.

Nothing wrong with sugar priming. With my batch (almost exactly the same as Doc's) I used a combination of sugar and Buderim Ginger Refresher cordial. It's highly carbonated and still sweet. The ladies absolutely LOVE this stuff; it's the most commonly requested drink at my joint from them

Search for a thread about mine.

Perhaps this thread would be better suited to the "Recipes & Ingredients" section?

Doc

what is your method of carbonation for your appeasment ginger beer ?

Greg C

 

[Doc]

Greg C,

I'll need to look up my records but from memory it was 1 teaspoon of white or brown CSR table sugar per long neck.

Beers,
Doc

1 tsp per long neck


hmm that would be less than the normal beer prime for a longneck i think from memory.

is that because you went for light carbonation ?

Greg C

 

[Doc]

Just checked my notes and I used normal white CSR table sugar. I also used one of those bottling measuring things, so whatever size the big end is for long necks. Carbonation came out perfect.

Beers,
Doc
