We've been pretty disorganised recently and as a result I'm not entirely sure if we've already written about this one. But I'm too lazy to bother checking so fuck it, here's the dl on the Ginger Binger.
Ginger Binger is the name we gave our very first batch of GB. We used a Coopers GB kit, same as the G-Bomb, and only one kilo of sugar. The result was almost exactly the same as the G-Bomb, (a decent tasting ginger beer that is, perhaps, a bit on the sweet side) only it was 3.5% instead of the regular gentleman's 5.
We served it up at my party (in the bathtub) seeing as we knew it was impressive and we wouldn't lament the loss of alcohol. Suffice to say everyone loved it.
Anyway it's doubtful we'll make it again seeing as for about $1 more we can make it regular strength with almost exactly the same taste... and we like being drunk.

Wild Beery, why embracing your creative side is not necessarily a good thing
Hey guys
As you may guess from the name the recipe for Wild Beery included, yep you guessed it, berries. We used a Wander Draught kit and, in order to zest it up a little Boden and I decided to add something a little extra as a surprise for the other guys.
Now I want to make it clear from the outset that we took every precaution. We used frozen packet berries (which as far as we have researched is just as steril as canned food) which we boiled in water before pouring through a strainer to avoid both bacteria and bits. We then added some yeast nutrient (which was just the Wander kit yeast boiled down for eight minutes) and 1.3kg of sugar.
The result, much to our distress and bemusement, was a beer that tasted even more like battery acid than Corona (yes Corona fans, I hate you all). Seriously, we had trouble giving this beer away. We finally had to wait until everyone at my party was so pissed from decent brews that they couldn't taste the difference. We still have a few bottles of it left but it's safe to say that they'll either be poured down the drain or given to our mate Tim, who is essentially a dumpster of filth anyway.
