Brewing Beer

Topic: Ginger Ale
Hopefully, tonight we will have "lashings of ginger beer" with our supper. I put a liter of ginger ale into a glass bottle with a screw-on top two days ago, with a tablespoon of sugar to prime it. Later, I'll set it outside for it to cool. I'll have to think of some other way to cool it down to "cellar temperature" when spring gets here and it's warm outside. The fridge is difficult because there's no room except in the door, and I don't want to be swinging it back and forth when I open and close the door.

Topic: Ginger Ale
I checked the ginger ale yesterday. It is coming along well but is rather flat and his little brown flecky things floating in it. I will have to filter it once and then put it in a bottle with sugar like I do the malt beer.

Topic: Ginger Ale

I tasted the brewing ginger ale and it is too thick, with too strong a ginger taste and not enough sugar (original recipe was 100 mls of sugar, about 700 mls water and 3 Tablespoons of ground ginger). I think I'll add 50 mls sugar and 700 mls water and see how that comes out.
