hi. im just looking for an easy recipe for ginger beer. i have the coopers ginger beer kit. what should i add apart from the sugar?

some fresh ginger?

thanks pete! sounds like a good one to start me off. hmmm - rum!

no one huh?

howdy. been a while since i've been on here!

i've done a search but can't find a good link to a ginger beer recipe? keen to do one to accompany some nice rum over summer!

anyone have a good recipe?

yep. i've been in there 3 times. it's great. food is good, well priced, and the beer is as fresh as it is in fremantle. beautiful!

after much anticipation - little creatures is almost open! rumour on the street is that this weeked is open day! woohoo. gee it's looking good there.

i've now got it to:

1kg LDME

20g amarillo
20g cascade
safale 05

i got it at grain and grape melbourne. i just asked for amber grain - i'm not sure of the exact name/terminology. gee it smelt good though at steep...

ah ok... nice one. this isnt bitter at all... it's only slightly more bitter than a coopers pale ale from the bottle.

next time i might experiment with hopping it later in the boil.
bloody nice!

hey all. i just thought i'd share my latest brew - as it's turned ot the best ever that ive made (brew number 15).

coopers pale ale kit
1kg LDME
200g amber crystal
40g amarillo
40g cascade
safale 56

steeped the crystal for 30min at 70C.
in the meantime brought 3l. water to the boil, in with the ...

i made this and it was superb - really close to the hightail, albeit a little smokier. delicious!

stockings are definately dyed. trust me - i had a batch turn black from not pre=boling a pair. the ones to get are the natural/tan colour, they're nt treated (according to the missus).

UPDATE::

this has really come into its own... the bitterness has subsided and it's REALLY close to the hightail. has the same smokey/dry after taste. really drinkable and getting good reviews by my select panel of peer group testers.

boonie - how did this turn out? i'm just about to get one on the go.

just had a taste of this tonight. it's quite bitter. has upfront aroma similar to the hightail, but then finishes quite dry and bitter.

its only just been 2 weeks i guess. probably a bit green still!

ive looked in the window, it's happening. also big little creatures banners in the window.

enough for you?
