Recipe - Honey Ginger Beer

4 pound Honey
6 ounce Grated ginger
3 pound Light malt extract
1 ounce Brewers Gold leaf hops
One half ounce Northern Brewer hops
Pellets
One half ounce Saaz hops pellets
Yeast

Use two brew kettles. In the first, add 4 gallons water, honey, and
ginger. Maintain at 180 degrees for 45 minutes. While first pot is heat
ing, add malt extract to 3 gallons water in the second pot. Bring to
boil. Add 1 ounce of Brewers Gold to boil for 45 minutes. Add One half ounce of
Northern Brewer at 30 minutes. When second pot is removed from heat, add
One half ounce of Saaz hops and steep. Combine pots, cool, and pitch. I

also brewed a second batch with the same procedure, except that I used 8
pounds of honey instead of 4, One half ounce of Northern Brewer hops replac ed
the 1 ounce of Brewers Gold, and One half ounce of Galena replaced the One half ounce
of Northern Brewer. Six ounces of ginger seems about right to give a nice
balanced flavor. The ginger was grated in food processor, but it had to
struggle as the ginger tends to break up into strands that get stuck in
the blades. (I did not peel the ginger). This beer had an amber color and
all flavors were readily apparenthops, malt, ginger, and light honey.
The color was a medium amber shade. Original Gravity: 1.051
