An update on this brew, if you leave the Ginger bits from the fermenter in the bottles for it's aging process in the bottle, it will taste a lot better, same I'm assuming for kegging.
Just something we have noticed from tasting a few bottles.

Good idea Baz
This brew is so slow.Made another batch of yeast and prooved it yesterday,have it in front of the fire at the moment,FINALLY bubbling.
I may put half of the ginger in each keg and spread the gingerbeer between 2 kegs.

Yes very slow, I'm thinking Ness hasn't let it ferment out and this may be why the bottles are very gassy, it's probably fementing in the bottle and over carbonating.
I think for the next lot I might suggest she warm the fermenter with a heat strap.

Hi Baz
Seing Im now going to split the brew between 2 kegs and retain the ginger(will discard the lemons at kegging),Ive added a further 2kg of sugar and 4lts of boiling water,its a 30lt fermenter.Will top the kegs up with water if they arent full.
It liked the sugar pouring in,foamed up wicked,nearly climbed out the top before adding the extra water.Had to wait for it to settle!!!! Hapily bubbling away at the moment.

Lots of farts and emergency dashes to the dunny would back up your assumptions:wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wasntme::wa sntme:Quote:
