The pilsner grain is a total guess. They also had a pale ale, but since I was replacing the Pale 2row malt with LME already, so I replaced the Cara-Pils with Pilsner. 'Cause it had "pils" in the name. I also lowered the honey a bit, due to the quantity of LME in 1 container (1.8kg)
Thanks to anyone who takes a look...
Cara-Pils will give body and head, Pilsner will give flavor and alcohol. You might throw in a 1/2 pound of Malto-Dextrine if you can't get Cara-Pils
Nock said:I should really take this outside of this thread as I'm going to turn it into a newbie-brewer thread, but I appreciate the info. I hadn't really heard of using malto-dextrine before. I'm gonna have to find something to do with my kilo of pilsner grain.
How old was this at tasting? What was the citrus level like from the ginger? I have this on the docket to make soon, so need to make adjustments for a good benchmark.. thanks

The tasting was about 4-5 weeks later. Man it was awesome. The ginger wasn't over powering and seems to have added a bit more bitter but a nice bitter! May skin some ginger and add as bittering to other beers rather than hops. Was much less astringent. Let me know how yours came out, please
This isn't anything like a ginger soda is a pale ale/blonde with ginger taste, but the spicy/hotness didn't seem to come thru. If she likes food with ginger and a light beer she will like it, I would think.For anybody that has brewed this how close is the orignial recipe to Ginger Ale soda, Vernor's specifically if you've had it?
?
This recipe makes me happy
I made ginger ale the other day, and all my friends were shocked it didn't have any alcohol in it. Maybe I'll make this and really blow their minds
I brewed up this recipe on Tuesday. I modified it slightly with when I added the honey and the amount of ginger. I cut the ginger up pretty thin and then put it through the food processor until it was very fine.
I will be post up my modifications. Did a 5 gallon batch, used the same base grain and 3 lbs of honey... I also did no sparge since most of the sugar comes from the honey and not the grain.
