Ginger Beer Help

[snail59]

Got a problem with my ginger beers. The problem is it is so thin its just like water. How can I give it some body.

Thanks in advance Mick.

Alright Mick.

I had the same problem but because I'd fermented mine out dry I could boil some sugar in a little water and make a sugar syrup. Put a little in the bottom of the glass before you pour and stir it. It's not perfect but it does gice a little bit of body.

I also found the sugar syrup did a good job after fermenting out to dry. Splenda also works if you want to bottle / keg it with the sweetness already in the drink ( adding some sugar to prime and Splenda to sweeten) :thumb:
