Ginger Ale

[blackheathbrewing]

still working my way through the last lot of this ginger ale. Goes down well on a hot sunny day if we get any more of them!

600g root ginger, grated
juice of 3 lemons, rind of 1
juice and rind of 1 lime
1 stick of cinnamon,
20g cascade,

All into a hop bag and boiled up for 60 mins

Chucked in 800g of brew enhancer I found in the cupboard about 10 mins from the end

Cool and chuck into the fermenter, bag and all, with a can of extra pale LME. Top up to 20L, had planned on this being a smaller batch to start but with this much fermentables it would knock me flat!

Set some white labs Irish ale yeast to work on it for a couple of weeks, then bottle n enjoy

i have tried two different versions of ginger beers now Black and they were both very cloudy. Did this ine turn out cloudy for you?

I'm looking at one right now and its not see thru! Kinda looks like a weis if I'm being descriptive

That is exactly how both mine turned out, the one in the keg now is even cloudier. I am putting that down to the fact that i pulped the root ginger with water in a blender first to get better utilisation. May just rough chop it next time?

Nice recipe. A few more spices and maybe a bit of dark malt and you'd have a nice winter beer I'd say.

now there's a very good idea. Might have to get going on that once the nights start to draw in again. Maybe even split it and do different spices in each
