This is the farm I buy my juice from for fermenting.
I know it’s a beer thread but hey it’s November.
We got all year to talk beer.

A popular mix of beer here in Portland used to be what was called a black and tan. It was a stout and an ale.I call them black and red's... To the untrained ear , in spanish would sound racistView attachment 5028222

It's called a half and half in Ireland because of this:No tomato, just beer. A Michelada sounds like something I need to try.

Just bottled up some Ginger beer. If my measurements and calculations are correct I'm right around 8% ABV. It tastes like it as well. But I think I screwed up taking the initial measurement. I'm making another batch right now. Different recipe. This one was good but doesn't have the flavor I want. I'm using brown sugar and molasses instead of white sugar. Of course I threw some other spices in there as well just to give it a fuller flavor.

Lots of orange and grapefruit notes.
A wee bit hefty at 6.9%.
Excellent.

Or are they proprietary?

Nothing secret. I just used a piece of cinnamon stick, a couple cloves and a piece of vanilla bean. I guess it's not really a true ginger beer but more like a spiced ginger brew. It's definitely not something for everyday drinking but might be nice while sitting inside over the winter. This will be my last ginger beer for awhile. I think I'm going to give brewing actual beer another try. It's been awhile and when I did in the past I made mistakes that I'm aware of now. Next up will be an IPA. That way if I mess it up I can cover it up.

If you have to use packaged malt extract use the powder over the syrup for a cleaner flavor.
With clementines coming into season, a nice addition to your IPA would be some peels, with little to no pith, sanitized in vodka, and dropped into your secondary fermentation before bottling. If you're kegging, drop them right into your keg. Hops-wise, Galaxy has the most bang. Really stands out.
Citra would go well with it and will help keep your hops forward. Columbus would be my bittering hop. A little C20 or C40 for color and body and boom, there you go, I wrote your recipe for you.

never tried it with modelo negra. sounds good.I call them black and red's... To the untrained ear , in spanish would sound racist
in cancun, they call them red sky at the resort. and the mayan is something like chock eetch?
i like mine with clamato and some spices. generally not the pre made michelada mixes
. If you try this mix , you may like it. $10 and the bottle makes @ 8-10.
