I just came across a recipe in a new cookbook. It makes six gallons. I think I’ll look for a smaller recipe! (Read: I’ll try **StinkyBurrito** ’s link.) Roomie says I can use some of his beer bottles.

I wish my recipe was for six gallons. I tear through the whole bottle in a few hours.

I haven’t been able to find a website for the manufacturer, but for those not ambitious enough to brew their own, check out Natural Brew’s Outrageous Ginger Ale (probably the same Outrageous Brew **Bumbazine** mentioned). It’s spicy with a nice bite, not too sweet. I’m not a fan of Reed’s (is it just me, or does it taste like it has pineapple juice in it?), and Vernor’s/Canada Dry are way too watered down and sugary for my taste.

I found some Vernors. It did not live up to my ancient memory of it. Weak.

Reeds is the only oned I’ve had. I like all kinds. My wife has made some, but it was underwhelming. I think the exract was inferior.

I agree. As a kid I thought this stuff was ungodly strong. Now…pisswater. I’m sipping a Bundaberg right now and enjoying every bite.
