Evening chaps,

About to brew the 'fiery ginger ale' recipe from these very boards with a few tweaks, but I'm keen not to use champagne yeast as suggested as many have commented that it is quite dry, which as far as I can see may well be down to the champagne yeast. Any suggestions for a yeast which will work between around 15-20 degrees and produce a ginger beer that's not too dry would be incredibly appreciated.

Cheers
 
I've used sourdough starter quite a lot for ginger ale - tends to leave a lot of sugar so it's not too dry but it also kicks out a fair bit of lactic acid so you get nice tartness to balance it out.
