activeviii Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 To be honest the cheapest i can buy normaly from Lidls as no point buying expensive stuff as i like the taste of ginger I put it in a demijon and shake it like hell once every morning to beat the ginger senseless Can you put the ginger in a blender first?

Mines the same. i'm going to leave mine like it so no one else would think about drinking it. I cant believe how much homemade booze i have got though this year. not one has been bad with a few that worked fantastic, so much so i have had to hide one bottle of bramble brandy just so i have some left for next week.

activeviii Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 add more booze to it to cut it. if you have a litre of it then add another 1/4 of litre and try that. it works for me when theings are a little to over powering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
