gadjitsteve Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 This sounds great. What chilli do you use Allan? Best chilli beer I've ever had was from the micro at Myponga, Harrys Hog it was called. Tasted like beer then chilli not some half ass chilli,malt,hop flavoured mess. Chilli is one of my favorite things, after beer and then the mrs[lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I just made a ginger beer this afternoon with a couple of chillis thrown. I just threw what I had on hand in. 1 COOPERS GB 1.7KG RAW SUGAR FRESH GINGER ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY HAND 3 BIRD SHITE CHILLIS 12 CLOVES 1 CINNAMON STICK A SPLASH OF HONEY (ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY HAND [biggrin] ) I FORGET WHAT ELSE [innocent] MADE TO ABOUT 15L (I may add a bit more water if needed but I'm using a small FV) I've given up on making a good ginger beer - they all taste different levels of ok no matter what I do - they all taste better with a splash of lemonade when serving.
