Reply #31: My first batch I tried brown sugar [View All]

[DarkTirade]

but it wasn't nearly strong enough for what I wanted. :P I also didn't use a whole lot though, so that might be why. My second batch I used more, and I used extra dark, and it was a little better. But still not quite enough. Hence my using molasses for this batch. :)

I thought about using actual slices of ginger root, or maybe just drop an individual slice into each bottle before I sealed it to let the flavor seep in after it was brewed. I might do two gallons next and try one each way. Or, heck, I've got extra corks. I could uncork two or three of the ones I have here and try that method right now and just recork and seal 'em. :)
