ive just made a few batches of fiery ginger beer, i sampled a bottle the other day and it tastes like paint stripper lol. not sure if i did something wrong or maybe if its left there will be some magical transformation? im thinking the best way to get a good ginger beer is to tweek this coopers...

i put 2 heaped tsp of sweetner into each bottle, ive heard the fiery gingert beer is super dry. its probably going to be like syrup, but very high alcohol judging by how much sugar went in. :cheers:

hi, ive just done a batch, stuck to the original reciepe. ive read that it drier then a nuns ****, so im going to add alot of sweetner. Its bubbling away nicely. Is plastic bottles the way to go if im planning on making it quite fizzy?

thanks for your responses chaps, im going to get some of the fiery ginger beer brewed up this weekend and maybe some more beer as well :lol:
