Coopers Ginger Beer + kit yeast

1.0 Kg Dextrose
500g Yellowbox Honey
200g Fresh Grated Ginger @ 30 mins
1 Cinnamon Stick @ 15 mins
5g Yeast Nutrient
From my previous experience with this kit, it did have an artificial sweetener taste very early on, but this went away. I'm guessing the honey helped a lot too.
In my last one, I didn't let the brew complete fermentation, which is why I'm really taking my time with this one!
I'm racking it in a few days and will let you all know the results.

My ginger beer has turned out really shithouse.
The only thing I can do is try to leave it for a few months to try to get it a bit better with age.
Had a longneck last night, couldn't get through the f---ing thing.
I'm thinking I used far too much LLME, and should of kept it less like a beer, and more like a GB. It's also really syrupy, so some dry enzyme might be the way to go next time.

I want the sweetness but not too much, like the one I've just done, and a real Ginger bite at the back of the throat.
Return to Cider, ginger beer, lemonade, wine, mead . . .
