Description:

I'm in the middle of a batch of ginger beer, using a recipe which is a hodge-podge of Cat's Meow recipes and my own warped ideas. What I'm shooting for is something with a pronounced ginger flavor and aroma, good body, but a very light color. I think I'm going to hit all the goals except the ginger flavor, which is a problem given that this is supposed to be a ginger beer.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans Munton & Fison extra light extract (for light color)
• 0.5 lb. maltodextrin powder (for body w/o color)
• 2 oz Hallertauer leaf hop (4.6% alpha)
• 3 oz sliced ginger root (peeled for lighter color)
• 4 each juice from fresh lemons
• 1 pkt Whitbread ale yeast

Procedure:
