ginger

Hey all! New to mead making. I just started a primary with some ground spices and less than 5 minutes into the process, it seems they have all fallen to the bottom. I used 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I also used ec1118 for yeast and some ferm K. It's this normal? I've...

I've got a simple closet wine recipe 1 litre of water 180ml of sugar 1.25ml of bread yeast or active dry yeast and I also added 30gms of cut ginger cubes I've tried this recipe with many other flavours, but ginger is the only one which has floating chunks and bits in it, I've lifted the lid just...

Hey there I'm not much of a brew but more of a distiller but I'm trying to make something similar to Royale jamaican ginger beer (if anyone have tried it they know it's bloody good). Iv made a handful of ginger beers but just doesn't feel right. What I'm after is thick mouth feel, Malty, and...

Hello friends. I am rather new to brewing, but I am currently fermenting my second batch and loving it :) I mostly do this with a friend of mine, and he would like to try to throw ginger into the mix for our next project. This is totally new to us though. I have thrown together a recipe, based...

Hello everybody. I am looking to brew a ginger saison, had one at a local pub awhile ago that I thought was amazing. I am thinking of adding fresh ginger root grinded with a grater at flame out. How much do you think I should add? I have been looking all around the internet but I have not found...

The last of the Jack-O-Lanterns have been carved, lit, admired, left out to go soft, and been discarded like so many before. Halloween costumes go back in the box, the box goes back in the attic, and our minds turn to the cozier side of Autumn - baked goods, sweaters, hot cocoa, and best of all...

Hello everyone. I have been a long time lurker to Homebrewtalk as normally I make liqueurs, but I finally decided to make an account and do my first active cider. So what I have going is a ginger cider with mostly peeled ginger minus some of the joints. I left a bit, thinking that it wouldn't...

I'm ready to bottle my 5gal batch of very gingery ginger mead. I need to back sweet to cut the overly ginger bite. My f.g is at 0.996 and holding for over a week now which makes me think fermentation has finished abv of 12.3%. I did not cold crash it nor added any chemicals yet. I want to add a...

Hello, I'm a new member on the forum, but I've been brewing for about a year, now - if you don't count my apple wine adventures as an adolescent - and just got my first three carboys a few days ago. No more buckets! :ban: I started my most-recent batch of something reminiscent of ginger-beer...

Hey, New member here, a frequent user. I recently tasted a Szechuan Sour from The Booth brewing (a Korean brewing company based here in N. California). It is easily one of the most interesting beers I have ever tasted, clearly not created for western palates (but I loved it, hence me being...

Greetings! I've been researching recipes and guides for a strawberry saison I'm looking to brew for a competition in 2020. I'm very much still in the planning stage right now, but I'd like some ideas about using ginger and honey with this recipe. Currently, I'm working off a recipe that I found...

Hey all, I’ve been working with a ginger bug for nearly two months strong. It’s been delivering on some really fantastic ginger beer, but has recently developed some black spots on the bottom. I also noticed with the last batch that it had me racing to the restroom after every glass. I thought...

Basically I'm a student in a Fermentation Sciences course and as a final project we need to write up a recipe for some fermented product. I chose beer, and I want to make it cyberpunk or science themed, so I'd like to see if y'all have any ideas to spare. My ideas so far: - IPA: I like them -...

Hey guys, I made an entire video detailing the use of ginger in brewing. It will be a whole series dealing with different ingredients - I'd love some feedback on the video and subject matter. Let me know what you think!

Hello All, Just started a small 1 gallon batch of cider and I'm looking to do some flavors in this one. Possibly ginger or raspberry? I started primary fermentation on Friday. Is there anything I can add to the secondary to get a flavor going on, or did I need to incorporate the...
