alcoholic ginger beer

[Fusion07]

GB Kit Can

Boil 3 ltrs water and add: (simmer for 15 - 20 mins)

300gms fresh sliced/crushed ginger

25gms powdered ginger

2 or 3 Cinnamon Sticks

4-6 Chillies

300gms dark brown sugar

Add to brew' date=' then add another 1kg dextrose/raw sugar!

This is by far the best GB i have done. I've done a few now, very consistent and alcohol has been reading at 6.8 - 7.2%

Hi guys ,

I've got a batch of the above ginger beer brewing at the moment. Made a couple of slight changes like adding 500g of brown sugar instead of 300g and 1kg of be2 . Been in the fermenter a week now. Started with an og of 1030 and is now at 960. Planning on bottling tomorrow night. When I checked it with the hydrometer I got a fair few floatys in it. I thought they would settle at the bottom in the turb. Was I supposed to strain the ingredients before adding or is there away of straining before bottling or is that just how it's ment to be.

 

Tastes good though!!

Hi guys,

I'm a week into my 2nd Ginger Beer brew. The first was a straight tin job and it was sweet like they say.

This ones a pimped version that's a hybrid of recipes I've seen around. Dark sugar lemons cinnamon cloves chili etc.

I'll post the recipe when it's done if it works out.

My question is, it's developed quite a scum on top after a few days and I was wondering should I take this of as it brews or leave it?
