Purchased the items for my first brew... It should have a kick!
I've just been reading the instructions. It says the final alcohol content should be 3.5%. This is clearly a typo and obviously should read..... 13.5%. ....
Off to the shops for more sugar.

I'm on for some short term ginger action. That sentence has come out wrong. Anyway, I'm going down this route, which I have sort of made up:
ReplyDelete200g grated root ginger
500g sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
50ml lemon juice (plus some zest)
1 gallon mineral water
brewers yeast
Put the ginger, cream of tartar, sugar and lemon peel in a bowl. Add the boiling water and stir. Cool to 21 degrees. Add lemon juice and yeast. Put in a demi-john and airlock. Ferment for 2 - 3 days until it starts to calm down.
Stir, strain and bottle in 500ml flip top bottles strong with 1 teaspoon of sugar in each. Give it a week and see what happens.
Never got round to this. Must try as soon as I have demi-johns available.
