G'day, brewing a kit ginger beer tomorrow once my current brew is finished. Just wondering a few small things and how I should go about it:
- The directions call for raw sugar instead of a brewing sugar, I've heard not to use white/raw sugars as they aren't fully fermentable and I do have a spare 1kg of Dextrose hanging around. Should I use the Dextrose instead of the raw sugar or is raw sugar intended so that the GB gets a certain flavour from it?
- I'm a fan of gelantine based clearing agents and use them in all my brews. I bought a satchel of Finings 5g which I planned for the GB, but is a clearing agent necessary for GB?
- Also wondering about lifespan and best time to drink the GB, is it like beer as it gets better with age or is it best to drink it quickly after a 2-3 week settle period?
