So, I was just handed a brewing death blow. Turns out that I have chronic liver disease and can't drink alcohol any longer. So I am probably going to sell off all of my brewing equipment and transition to Ginger Beer and maybe Root Beer.
Has anyone on here experimented with flavoring their Ginger Beer? I am guessing that citrus is a no brainer. But how about berries? Should I try using concentrates?
I rarely do anything with as much bite as a ginger beer, but Schweppes has a raspberry ginger ale that tastes pretty good that I'd like to simulate some day.
Apple goes pretty well with ginger, too. Force carbonating 5 gallons of this is always pretty popular at our house, though it's kind of heavy on the sugar once you consider what's already in the apple juice, so I usually tone it down a bit for the larger batch size. I leave the chunks of ginger in the keg to get more of a ginger bite. Also adding a bottle of RW Knudsen Just Cranberry to the keg makes it perfect for this time of year.
