Just bottled up a ginger beer kit, it tastes pretty good but I like it sweet. I have read on another post here that adding lactose at the secondary will do it.
Does Lactose hold its sweetness? Does it fully ferment?
I used a local brew shop blend. Its basically about 0.5kg of malt and a ginger booster (Basically GB cordial). I added another 100ml of booster and 1kg of sugars, It does not specify what sugars, but I suspect a mix of Dex and lactose. It tasted pretty good on bottling, I'll give it a few weeks to condition and see how it goes. Im chasing that Bundy GB sweetness, If you can do that.
My first lemonade (from lemons- not kit) I ended up adding like 3kg of the stuff, and it was still dry! A few too many lemons from memory. It aged beautifully though.
I just kept adding it, then stirring until it tasted right.
