Hi, My name is Terry Brayn. I live in Western Australia. I'm looking forward to joining the forums and gaining knowledge about making fermented drinks. I have started making fermented Ginger Beer, but I need some help. So when I figure it out, I'll join a forum with my questions. Looking forward to talking to you.

Welcome. You’ll likely get a more complete answer if you post your entire recipe, including volume to be fermented.

I prefer dextrose for beer. It's easier for the yeast to breakdown and normally doesn't produce off flavors. Sugar is ok if corn sugar isn't available.

Good link of you want to learn the differences.
