Hi Tom, I really think this does need lime!

All the ginger beers in the supermarket are too sweet and not gingery enough, and I didn’t really want to try brew my own.
I make my own hot chocolate powder for the same reason, I want to taste the chocolate without overwhelming sweetness.

Hi Nancy, I’m glad you found a ratio that you enjoy. A juicer does make it easier, but I like to include the directions for those who don’t.

I used my juicer to extract the juice instead of all the straining. Worked great but I found 2 oz ginger juice + 8 oz of club soda was TOO concentrated, so I used 1 oz of concentrate: 8 oz club soda & it was perfect. I used agave nectar for it’s lower glycemic qualities.

So glad I found your recipe so I can satiate my ginger beer addiction without spending so much money!

“(make sure you’re using young ginger, not old dried-up stuff from the back of your fridge.)” LOL!!!!

Great review and suggestions, Jim. I agree, I want my ginger beer to have a strong kick! I have yet to find anything around that suffices. I can feel the burn just from reading your adjusted recipe, and adding cayenne!!?? BRAVO! I am so gonna try this recipe, sounds amazing!!

It’s either too sweet, or too bitter.

I’ve been using the ‘boil ginger and sugar together’ then add water + yeast for the carbonation recipe for a while, but it takes so long between cooking and cooling, it’s messy, and it separates too quickly, meaning you have to gently shake it all the time before use, losing a lot of the carbonation.

While I did change some things, this recipe came out excellent.

First, I only used about 1/2lb of fresh ginger, chopped it into cubes, but didn’t bother peeling as it’s a pain in the arse to peel, and the papery skin doesn’t affect the taste (make sure you’re using young ginger, not old dried-up stuff from the back of your fridge.)

I added the chopped ginger and 1/2 cup of water to the blender, let it whizz for a minute or two, then in stage 2 of the recipe, I added another 1/2 cup of water with the pulp. In stage 3, instead of adding more water, I put the already strained juice back in the blender with the solids, and let that rip for 30 seconds or so, then strained everything through a nut milk bag, which let me squeeze out all the remaining ginger juices from the pulp.

I discarded the solids, rinsed the blender, added the strained juice back in along with 1 cup of Turbinado sugar, some lemon juice, a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it some extra kick, and some ground cloves to add warmth, blended for 30 seconds, then bottled it. I ended up with about 20oz of syrup.

Using the ratio in the recipe (2oz syrup to 8oz club soda), it came out perfect! I think squeezing out the pulp in the nut milk bag was the key to making it strong enough, but with only using less than half the amount of ginger root.

This will be my go-to recipe from now on!! Thank you! Definitely 5-stars!
