Brew #006: Low Alcohol Ginger Beer

I bought this Brewcraft kit from the local Brew Shed for $22.00 and also picked up some raw ginger root to grate and soak in brandy so I could add it to the mix. I decided to not add any extra dextrose or the artificial sweetner as I want this to be a low alcohol version, so that our boys could drink it. Fermetation took 7 days
OG=1.018
SG=1.006
Alc 2.1% (not as low as I thought it would be)

This tastes very dry, but is crystal clear and is pale yellow. We're enjoying this. Ewan doesn't like it but Jordan likes it. Next time I would make the alcoholic ginger beer and hopefully it would taste slightly sweeter.
