Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

I wrote a few months back about producing a Ginger beer that would be made on Gonave and then sold to different markets in the Caribbean.  Well I finished the project and did a few notes. One being that this would be a great beer to sell in many different markets.  The amount of raw ingredients used, and the amount of LME (liquid malt extract) and DME (dry malt extract) was not overwhelming.  The goal is to make a beer that is fast to produce, great tasting, and very cheap to make.  This will allow the product to sell for a low starting price. Things that I want to look into more.  To me Ginger beer isn't really my favorite.  While many like it, I just find that the ginger can be a bit overwhelming.  Sure I can solve this many different ways, including more water, and less ginger.  While you get a nice tropical taste due to the citrus involved, it is a beer that is designed for someone who wants a refreshing drink. With that said, I will gi...

So some of the things I am coming up with for this Ginger Beer, which I mentioned would have an ABV of 8-9%, would include lemon and lime juice in it's makeup. Not only would it contain lemon and lime juice as well as the actual lemons and limes.  Of course you will not see the lemons or the limes when the beer is fully fermented, but the beer will lack hops.  Hops is usually a mainstay in beer and very essential.  Due to the make up of Ginger Beer, it will lack hops, but will still have a malt extract of some type, possibly a Pale DME. I know all of this may not mean much to you, but trust me, the flavor will be wonderful.  Also the beer will contain a large amount of honey.  So stay tuned to the Gonavian Ginger Beer, as I dive into making of this beer.  Who knows it could be one of the largest produced beers in the Caribbean.
