Add another kilo of Amber or light dme, adds more body. I wish I did

im going to stove top pasturize them before they break.

just bottled! added 2 cups sugar dissolved in water, and a spoonful to each 24 oz bottle. smells awesome, tastes dry. but i think with enough carbonation and iced down, this will be a light easy drinking ginger beverage. going to bottle pasturize. pics coming soon. 7.52 percent abv it finished...

Wouldn't bottle pasturizing work better?

I'm meaning for it to be like a ginger soda ginger beer thing, like I'm using ginger as a bittering rather than hops, the hydro samples taste good and spicy but it lacks body, it's in secondary now. Maybe it will age nicely, or I may dry hop it and add a cinnamon stick for complexity. May also...

Thank you so much.

sodium Benzonate is rather expensive at my LHBS. Would campden tablets or maybe a natural source of sodium benzonate like frozen blueberries stop my ferment? maybe some minute maid lemonade with all its crazy pereservatives?

thats why im going to try it using cheap molasses and sugar. I want a cheap fun drink. DME is too expensive to waste on something like this. Also because of inverting the sugars i doubt there would be off flavors. idk though

So thats what they were talking about when they said id go blind lol. by the way you are brewing, it sounds like a major bacterial infection or molding is possible... which could damage your health

not too much, but the flavors may not properly mellow, idk how to clear it, and it may be too high alcohol, and wind up tasting too ''hot''
