Ginger beer + apple juice?

Post by drtom »

Hi All,

I was thinking of putting down a cider made with apple juice + sugar + safale, when I just spotted in a dark corner of the cupboard a brigalow ginger beer tin that I bought a while back when I saw it on special at the supermarket.

So do you reckon I'd get something (i) nice, (ii) weird, or (iii) nasty if I made up a ginger beer kit with several litres of apple juice?

Sounds like a good idea, drtom

Let me know if it really IS a good idea!

I'm morbidly curious. A lot of boutique ginger beers list apple juice in the ingredients, but I suspect that'd be added after the ferment to try to balance it out a bit.
Good luck!
