Hi, I'm new to this brewing lark and live in a part of the world where brewing equipment, supplies, and environment are really stacked against me.
I want to make some alcoholic ginger beer, probably around 5% and not too sweet, but not dry.
I want to use as simple a recipe as possible, ie ginger, sugar, water, lemon juice, and bread yeast.
Can I get away with this?
If so, can someone help me and add quantities to the ingredients list for making 5-litre batches.
I also have an old Hydrometer that I inherited. It actually has 'Made in England' stamped on it lol
I have no idea what my starting and finishing SG should be, and I need some help there.
Also, the ambient temperatures are always between 25 and 35 C at this time of the year. I have an old chest freezer that I can change the thermostat in order to make a fermentation cabinet, but again, I have no idea of ideal fermentation temperatures for this brew.
Thank you in anticipation,
Nelson
