Brew a Bold, Spicy Ginger Beer Bursting with Real Ginger Flavour

If you love proper ginger beer with a real spicy kick, the Hoppy Days Ginger Extreme DIY Ginger Beer Kit is made for you. Unlike many ginger beer kits that rely heavily on flavouring, Ginger Extreme is packed with real ginger pieces, delivering an authentic fresh ginger aroma, natural heat and full-bodied flavour that ginger lovers crave.

Designed to make 20 litres of refreshing ginger beer, this kit can be brewed as a traditional alcoholic ginger beer or adapted for a low-alcohol version. Simply add sugar and your preferred yeast to create a crisp, refreshing drink that's perfect served ice cold on a hot Australian day.

Why Choose Ginger Extreme?

Many ginger beer kits produce a sweet drink with only mild ginger character. Ginger Extreme is designed for people who enjoy a stronger, more authentic ginger flavour, with plenty of natural ginger bite straight from the fermenter.

The included ginger pieces continue to infuse during fermentation, creating fresh ginger aroma and complexity that is difficult to achieve with ordinary extracts alone.

At Border Brewing Supplies, we recommend fermenting with:

• Lalvin EC-1118 – for a clean, crisp finish.
• LalBrew Voss Kveik – for a fruity, fast-fermenting ginger beer.
• Fermentis BE-134 – for a dry, highly attenuated spicy finish.

This gives you the flexibility to tailor the finished beer to your own taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is yeast included?

No. You'll need to purchase brewing yeast separately. For the cleanest results we recommend Lalvin EC-1118, while LalBrew Voss Kveik provides a faster fermentation with subtle citrus notes.

How much sugar should I use?

You can adjust the sugar depending on the style you're chasing.

• 1 kg – lighter-bodied ginger beer

• 1.5 kg – approximately 4.5% ABV

• 2 kg – stronger alcoholic ginger beer

Can I keg this?

Absolutely.

The kit works extremely well in Cornelius kegs, mini kegs and pressure fermenters for fresh draught ginger beer.

Can I bottle this?

Yes.

Bottle using carbonation drops or bulk priming after fermentation has completely finished.

Why are there ginger pieces in the kit?

The real ginger pieces continue extracting flavour during fermentation, giving the finished ginger beer much more natural ginger aroma and spicy character than kits made only with flavouring.
