Thinking of putting down another Ginger Beer soon as the 2 previous ones I have made are nearly gone.
The first one I made was a stock Cooper's with 1kg Raw Sugar which came out around 3.2% and tasted OK.
Second was a Morgan's with 1kg Raw Sugar 1kg Dex plus also boiled 250g grated ginger, 2 x crushed cinnamon sticks, 6 x cloves, 1 x lemon (juiced and rind grated) with sugar, strained through muslin then tied up added to wort. It ended up 5%, tasted nice and spicy but ended up a little dry.
My question is how much lactose would I add to 23L to sweeten this up and take some of the dryness away?
