First time trying soda. My family loves ginger ale Canada Dry or Vernors (some of them are from MI) The like to drink it plain or mix it with whiskey.
I think it would be really fun to try and make some for them and they would really enjoy it. So...this is what I am thinking...after reading other threads on here.
5 gallons (going to keg and force carb)
3 roots (about 2 inches a piece)
2 cups of turbinado sugar
2 cups of dark brown sugar
3 limes zest
2 lemon zest
Get 5 gallons of water and heat it to 150ish dissolve the sugars and add the ginger and zests to simmer for about an hour. Strain and put in the keg and force carbonate.
Is this too much ginger? I don't want it to be very gingery in flavor and especially don't want it to be hot or spicy from the ginger...
Does the process seem right also?
