One of the best tricks i've learned. Steep your ginger in 1L olorosso sherry for 2 weeks before brew day.
And grate your ginger. I know its a pain, but you want as much surface area ad possible.
Steep 5 hot jelapenos chopped in 50ml cheap vodka for 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks, start your brew.
Ps. A sherry of 10+ % will kills all bugs, so no boiling is needed.
Couldn't resist an early try of this - fizz mild but some bubble but I know it's far too early.
It's very gingery but with a bitter lemon taste. Not quite sure what ginger beer tastes like though so difficult to compare . Will buy one tomorrow me thinks !

How is it coming along now?
It appears that this can be very dangerous stuff. My very first homebrewing attempt with very little kit. Slightly sweet, very easy to drink and obviously rather potent. Which I didn't notice until I'd had a few glasses.![]()

That sounds good. Do you add the ginger and vodka into the mix as well?
