Having made ginger beer ( ginger, lemons, sugar & water - ferment ) several times last year, on the whole was quite disappointed.
It was very well ordinary - perhaps thin.
Thinking all grain brew I am wondering if there is a better drink to be made with a bit of maris otter.
Something along the lines of.
19l batch
Mash 3.5 kg Maris Otter (bit more beery flavour) @69° C - to get a higher proportion of unfermentable sugars (to get a sweeter finish)
Boil for 60 mins and then use this (still still hot) as the base for the lemons and the ginger infusion?
I making this up as I go along ... Any thoughts or contributions please
