Super Alcoholic Ginger Beer? Also, What Kit/recipe To Use To Make Bund

[bluc]

Home Grown South Perth Honey x 1kg
Light Malt 1kg
Dextrose 0.5kg
Maltodextrin 0.5kg
Fresh Ginger (frozen for 1week) x 1kg
Lemons x 2
Limes x 2
Chilli x 1

After fermentation I added 1 x Bunderberg GB Cordial to the keg.

It finished pretty low at 1.010 so the ginger bite and alcohol was pretty impressive. Which is why I added the cordial. If you're looking for a non sweet GB this is the way to go. It's great for days like today which are muggy and hot. I could easily down another 5 of these before dinner.

I wonder what molasses would be like instead of the honey?

Probably quite frightening.

You could try an old school ginger beer plant! They sound fun!

It's a SCOBY - symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast - and apparently both the yeast AND bacteria produce alcohol.

Maybe you should try Doc's (of Doctor's Orders Brewing) Super Appeasement Ginger Beer. Post #29
