GINGER EXTREME Ginger Beer Kit: HOT DATE EDITION (Hoppy Days and Sabarac Collab – Limited Edition)

It’s that time again!

Ready for a Hot Date? This strictly limited release is a very special collaboration with our mate Geoff at Sabarac. We’ve taken our popular Ginger Beer kit to a whole new level by adding fermented dried habanero powder to give it an extra firey kick! With a lingering heat and a rich savoury chili note, this ginger beer is dangerously drinkable.

Things to know:

• The Hot Date should be fermented hot. We recommend using kveik yeast to rip through this brew hot and fast (30-35°C is fine), otherwise our standard EC1118 yeast is fine.
• We’ve added glucoamylase enzyme to the kit, which makes this a low carb brew, perfect for a hot day.
• Expect a lower final gravity. This brew will get under 1.000 specific gravity.
• Add 1 to 2kg sugar (raw sugar or dextrose is fine). 1kg sugar will get the brew to around 3% ABV. 2kg sugar will get it to 5%+ ABV.
• This kit makes 20L.

Instructions: Submerge container in hot water to loosen contents then add to a sanitised fermenter, rinsing out with more hot water if required. Add 1 to 2kg of sugar to fermenter then add 2 litres of hot water to fermenter and stir to dissolve sugar. Top up to 20L with cool, sterile water. Add yeast and ferment until specific gravity is stable.
