Ginger beer

Ginger beer is the one everybody in the house will drink, which makes it a good place to start if you have never brewed anything, and a good thing to keep on hand if you have been brewing for years. It is quick compared to most beer, it does not need much gear, and the ginger does plenty of the work for you.

The kits here split into a few kinds. Colony West Smooth Ginger Beer makes 23 L and is the one to look at for a full batch. The Traditional Series Ginger Beer by Mangrove Jacks and the Morgans Ginger Beer Pouch at 1 kg are the tinned and pouched options, and Coopers Ginger Beer comes in a 500 g size. To keep it small and simple, the Mad Millie Ginger Beer Starter Kit is a 5 L setup. Yeast is worth thinking about separately, with Morgans Ginger Beer Yeast and a Mad Millie ginger beer and ale yeast three pack. The Morgans Ginger Cider Flavour at 50 ml is there if you want to take a batch sideways.

A tip. Ginger beer carries on fermenting in the bottle more readily than most brews. Store it somewhere cool and keep an eye on it rather than leaving it in a warm cupboard and forgetting about it.

Have a look at cider, ginger beer and kombucha, brewing yeast and starter kits. We are at Laverton North and Epping.

Frequently asked questions

Is home brewed ginger beer alcoholic?

Ginger beer kits are fermented with yeast, so they produce alcohol. How much depends on the kit, the sugar used and how long it ferments. Follow the directions for the kit you choose.

What is in a ginger beer kit?

Ginger beer kits contain a ginger concentrate. Some include yeast and some do not, so check the listing; we also sell ginger beer yeast separately.

What is the easiest way to start?

The Mad Millie Ginger Beer Starter Kit includes what you need for a small batch. For a full batch, a Mangrove Jack's Traditional Series or Morgan's ginger beer pouch with a fermenter does the job.
