I was going to do an experimental lot with Champagne cider. I remember an old guy making a champagne cider and the champagne yeast provides plenty of fizz. I loved the stuff and I'm going to try making it sometime.

Given I prefer my mercury and stongbow (I know, but you can't get much scrumpy ...

Update on flavour

Not sure if anyone cares, but after 3 or 4 weeks (can't remember now, the ginger beer killed off my brain cells) I thought I'd give you a heads up on what my recipe turned out like.

First things - taste. It tastes like a aley beer with a ginger aftertaste and spice. I'd almost say that the after ...

Ginger beer using fresh ginger

Hi awl,

I've been on this site a million times purloining methods and tips (some used, others discarded) and thought I'd put my ginger beer recipe on here for some to use or discard.

I used to homebrew back when all I could do was a kit (and afford it), gave it up once I got out of uni, and now am ...
