Cruising on TBBG
Well, we have traveled up and down the east coast a couple times and are now doing the "great loop".  This journey will end when we reach St. Pete.

  These logs give me a chance to explain what has happened and allow a bit of cleansing for me.  They are generally factual and are not meant to offend anyone.  If you are offended, then you probably deserve it.  I have no financial interest in any of the companies or products mentioned. 

Here is a great Ginger Ale recipe:

 

For ½ gallon

 

Juice ½ to 1 pound of ginger (the fresher the ginger the less you use).  I use a fine microplane, then add a few ounces of water, sometimes a little lime juice and strain the pulp.  Discard the pulp or make ginger chicken.

 

12-16 ounces of simple syrup

 

About 100 prills of champagne yeast (maybe 1/32 teaspoon).  One ounce of yeast should make 5 gallons.

 

Combine all ingredients, QS with water to not quite full.  Let stand at 60 to 80 degrees for 2 or 3 days.  Consider reracking during the first 24 hours as solids from the ginger will have settled.  Some of these solids give the bite to the ale, so you may not want to loose all of them.  Chill to stop fermentation.

 

- Varying the amount of sugar will change the sweetness.

 

- Increasing fermentation time will increase the alcohol content and reduce sugar.  This will also increase the pressure in the vessel.

 

- Chlorinated city water may kill the yeast.
