Hello from Nottingham

[SaabNoob]

Hi All,

Been brewing wine for quite a while with limited success but wanted to give cider and ginger beer a go and a Google search brought me here. Usually more of a car nut (hence the username) but after a hard day twirling spanners and engine computers it's nice to sit back with the other fruit of one's labour.

Cheers.

Hi and welcome.

Wow, what a flurry of responses. Thanks very much.

Just written down the fiery ginger beer recipe and firing up the cooker as i speak. No.2 Son got me a load of root ginger for free and it just seemed rude not to.
Unfortunately i only appear to have some Gervin GV4(26) yeast in stock so i'll just have to use that and keep adding sugar until it stops fermenting. :whistle:
Should be an interesting taster session if nothing else.

Cheers again.

Long Eaton.

Can i ask you, when you prepped your fiery ginger beer did it taste gingery straight away? Or did the fire develop during brewing? Mine seems to be quite watery even though i used 1.1kg of grated root ginger and quite a few tsp of ground ginger.

Maybe i should ask in the thread?

Indeed it is. Long time since i've been in though. Last years crop of fruit was almost a non-starter compared to other years so i've not had to stock up with stuff.

I go there quite a bit although their hops and grains prices are shockingly high so dont get them from there. Aside from that very friendly :thumb:
