phAT YAK Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Brew it for a mate at work and he prefers it over any others on the market, be sure to add some extra ginger ( I just use the crushed homebrand in a jar) & use malt instead of the brown sugar. I find myself to be brewing for him on a fortnightly basis in exchange for homemade bourbon which the misses drinks, all in all a win/win outcome.

phAT YAK Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Izac I usually dump about half a 250 gram jar into a boil and a couple of chillies. I myself don't mind it every now and then it's a good refreshing drink when I don't feel like a beer, but thats a very rare occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi there Izac, as an alternative to Yaks suggestion of adding chilli's you could also boil with the ginger: The grated zest and flesh of 2 lemons 1 cinnemon stick 12 Cloves Boil for 1/2 an hour. You can also add a jar of honey to your fermentables to give it some oomph. this also adds a very nice flavour dimension Drink it in a tall glass, poured over ice and served with a slice if lime[love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phAT YAK Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 +1 to nicks variation, I brewed it that way for about 12 months with great results although it got very costly as everything I used was fresh. At $25 a kilo for ginger & the lemons being seasonable I changed my recipe. It is worth the money and effort to treat yourself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
