Homemade ginger ale

IMG_20120225_191005.jpg

It has started! I'll report back in two or three days, when it's done.
BTW, this should have an alcohol content of ~0.5% when it's done. :awe:

Hey guys, I am about to make some ginger ale following this recipe:

It seems almost too simple, so can anyone recommend something else I should throw in the mix to spice it up a bit?

Sugar, ginger, water and yeast do make for a pretty good homemade ginger ale. I've done Alton Brown's recipe. I have been toying with adding a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit more bite though.
 
Update: It's fucking awesome!
I put in: 2 Tbsp of Ginger (run through a lemon zester)
3 Tbsp of Lemon juice
3/4 Cups of sugar
1/4 Tsp of Baker's yeast
and a pinch of Cinnamon and freshly-ground nutmeg.
 
I keep meaning to try this myself.

marked.

I wonder if regular 'ol active dry yeast will work? i think it is the same as baker's yeast. I have a limitless supply!

Hmm, I actually have a limitless supply of brewer's yeast, too. I'm thinking it would be more tolerant to alcohol, if I add more and more sugar...

:hmm:
 
Sweet, was waiting for the update.

I'm going to buy the ingredients on Friday, make some this weekend. I love root beer, so I may try that next week.
 
I do have ginger that needs to be zested soon, and lemons that need something done with them....

dang, I think I only need containers.
 
I wonder if a good yeast from a brewing supply store would produce a cleaner flavor. Baking yeast makes some funny tastes.
 
I saw that AB ginger ale a few weeks ago I've been meaning to do this since I have a hand of ginger that's been in my fridge for a long time.
