Notes: Add molasses and turbinado sugar to water.
Add powdered/chopped ginger.
Squeeze juice from one lemon into the mash (remove seeds). Add zest of lemon, if desired.
Heat to boiling, and boil for 10 minutes.
Strain ginger out and let cool until "blood warm" or body temperature (feels not hot or cold when touching).
Pitch the yeast.
Ferment for 12-16 hours, then bottle. Put in fridge and drink while fresh. Alternatively, ferment for a few days then bottle with a raisin or two, or a dash of turbinado or table sugar, for carbonation.
Thank you to Townsends on YouTube for this awesome ginger beer recipe! As he describes, it's based on a 1737 William Alice recipe for "Philadelphia Molasses Beer" as well as an 1811 recipe from the New Family Receipt Book. |

Notes: -5 Gallons of Apple Juice, Tree-Top Brand
-2 cans of Apple Juice Concentrate, Tree-Top Brand
-~3/4 Gallon Cranberry Juice (12 cups water, 9 cups cranberries / ~2lbs honey, 6 tbs fresh ginger, dried orange peel simmered ~30mins)
-Yeast Nutrient
-Pectic Enzyme
-Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast
Primary Ferment: ~2 weeks
Secondary Ferment:
Bottle Condition:
Original Gravity = 1.060 (aiming for ~7.88%abv)
Gravity after one week* = 1.022 (4.99% abv)
Gravity after two weeks** = 1.000 (7.88% abv)
Final Gravity = .998 (8.14% abv)
*Taste after one week: Still really sweet, w/ strong amounts of cranberry flavor -- maybe too much, and good, pink coloring. Very subtle ginger notes; mostly just an after-effect, and not really noticeable up-front. Still really cloudy. Fermenting really slowly, but is progressing. Clean overall taste, not much yeasty flavor. Apple flavor is sort of bland and just sweet; maybe needing more tannin from skins, and store bought juice isn't quite enough. Continued drying & aging should help clarify and sharpen the flavors. Aroma is pretty negligible.
**Taste after two weeks: The sweetness has nearly totally fermented out, w/ good alcoholic sharpness. Has a pretty strong ginger flavor; good pink coloring still (though pretty cloudy overall). Leaves the mouth feeling dry and puckered... Overall, rather dry and tart. Decent apple notes upfront, and then bitter after taste. The yeast is still present, and some aging should mellow that out. Still thinking that the overall apple tone is somewhat flat, and that additional apple tannins would help -- though I think the freshly juiced cranberries added the needed tannins, just not apple-y ones...
[Next time: 1) Just use pre-packaged cranberry juice... 2) Add in a few fresh squeezed / pressed apples for a more robust apple flavor, especially sharp flavored apples.]

Notes: 24 hrs to the boil (2) Campden tablets were added to kill any wild yeast.
12 hrs later 1/2 tsp of Pectic Enzyme was added for clarity (1/2 tsp under the recommended dose)
Heat water to 160(F) steep grain for 30min and remove
Add LME and brown sugar
Boil 60 min. @ 30 min add hopps
Actual O.G. turned out to be 1.076, with the actual volume around 2 3/4 gal or just under the 10 L mark on the bucket.
The cane sugar above was supposed to be a representative of the fresh pressed cider on points per gallon (PPG). The Fresh Cider had an O.G. of 1.046.(unknown on how to determine the PPG, so I used the above sub as found on an online forum.)
