Sultana on wiki

The grape or the raisin?

[mossrose]

Two questions:

What the heck is a sultana?

Whatta ya mean different types of sugar? Ya got your basic pure cane and brown - what else you got in mind?

We use sugar from sugar beets in Canada.

And sultanas are raisins.

I use Sucanat, which is very minimally processed cane sugar. I've also used crystalline fructose (which diabetics can consume). Honey is a good sugar substitute, as is agave nectar.

And maple syrup also works as a sugar...especially if you can find it granulated.

But...um...the only ginger beer I've ever had was a carbonated beverage...Do we add it to club soda for that effect or am I missing something?

Fermentation naturally carbonates it.

do you make it OBP? I am not sure honey works ... its got natural antibiotic which kills off yeast...so not sure you would get fermentation with it but if you have a recipe for ginger beer post it I can try yours then

You're right, honey might not work. There are some beers that contain honey though.

No, I haven't made ginger beer. I mixed up some grape juice from concentrate once, and it started to ferment. It was like drinking grape soda.

Okay, thanks!

Isn't honey usually used in mead?

Yeah, it is (in fact, it's a main ingredient AFAIR).

[Teallaura]

Yeah, it is (in fact, it's a main ingredient AFAIR).
