ThreeDJ16 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I was thinking of adding a beverage section to the recipe area - what do ya'll think? Interested? I was thinking not just adult beverages, but any! I have a kick butt lemon-aide recipe and an equally great Sangria recipe! You know, being Drunk_J, I gotta have a few - hehe. -=Jasen=-
Firemonkey Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 go for it...We have to have something to keep us occupied during those long cooks!
LeadDog Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I guess I will have to find the recipe I used to make ginger beer.
Curly Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I guess I will have to find the recipe I used to make ginger beer. Hey LeadDog, is that a non-alcoholic beverage? Is it pretty hot? If so, I'd love to have that recipe. There was a local company that had something like that in SC that I haven't seen in a long long time.
LeadDog Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Yes it is non-alcoholic. It seemed not to be really hot but you could tell there was some spicy heat to the drink. I really liked the ginger beer and it was easy to make.
Curly Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Yes it is non-alcoholic. It seemed not to be really hot but you could tell there was some spicy heat to the drink. I really liked the ginger beer and it was easy to make. Great...when you find that recipe please post it. And I take back all that stuff I said about that purdy ole Mustard Urn
Porkchop Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 i've never home-brewed before, but i would love to try brewing. a good post in the "drinks" section on cheap-n-easy home brew setup would be great! i'm thinking there are at least a few here that could flesh out a thread on the topic...
LeadDog Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Great...when you find that recipe please post it. And I take back all that stuff I said about that purdy ole Mustard Urn Great now that I have that statement in quotes I can ask the next question. Curly I made naturally carbonated ginger beer, is that what you were thinking of? I going to be making up a test batch soon to see if I remember the recipe correctly.
Majestik Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Ginger Beer One of my all-time favorites - I'd love a DIY recipe. thx, Mike

Curly I made naturally carbonated ginger beer, is that what you were thinking of? I going to be making up a test batch soon to see if I remember the recipe correctly. To tell you the truth, I don't know, but my promise stands none the less . Bring it on Blenhiem Ginger Ale http://theacf.com/blenheim/
LeadDog Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 You know it has been about four or five years since I have made it. But now I'm finding that I want to drink some again. I'll go to the store and get the goods and make a batch. Naturally carbonated sodas get their carbination from the CO2 given off by the yeast as they start feeding on the sugar. During the first part of the yeast life cycle they don't make alcohol so soda makers would kill the yeast before it started making alcohol. This is the way I make Ginger Beer. The other way to carbonate is to add CO2 to the soda. I'm not going to go buy dry ice or a tank of CO2 to carbonate my soda.
Curly Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Sounds good, if it's not too complicated and needing special stuff to make, I'll give it a try. The stuff in the link above is really good. Blenheims Ginger Ale. Give it a try if you see it anywhere.
LeadDog Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 Ok I have a batch of ginger beer brewing right now if you can call it that. I have yet to add the yeast. I lost my recipe but there really isn't lot to making this stuff. Curly if you can boil water you can do this. I figure that all of us are capable of making ginger beer if we BBQ on a cooker. The ginger beer already tastes great! I can't wait until it gets done.
LeadDog Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Ok the Ginger Beer has been carbonated. I think I'll test one tonight. I just need to make sure the recipe is ready for the public.
LeadDog Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 Ok cracked one open and it was really carbonated and tasting good. I'll post two recipes in the beverage section.
