Hello
I made a ginger beer that fermented with vigorous airlock activity for three days. Unfortunately, I did not take a reading in the beginning. Tonight (3 weeks later) it reads at 2%. This seems way low. The recipe is below:
I made a batch this past spring. I didn't use a kit/tin but wat I made is pretty refreshing. Here is the recipe:
2.5lbs of honey
3 lbs Muntons light DME
1 lbs cane sugar
2 lemons
2.5 lbs fresh ginger root
1 oz Willamette pellet hops
Wyeast 1056 American ale/Chico
Total boil 60 min
Add 3/4 of grated ginger,lemon juice and rinds (minus zest), and 3/4 of the honey at 30 minutes.
Add rest of ginger and honey at 50 minutes
Hops at 58 minutes
I stole this from someone on here and made some spice modifications. I will def. post when its done and give you your props along with the results.
Very spicy so far..
Also, I had this problem last time, with an ESB. It def. has at least 5%. Maybe I am reading it wrong. Is the % alc for post fermentation, or is that potential alcohol for before?
