The type of sugar won’t affect the taste of your ginger beer, nor will any of the sugar you use end up in the end drinkers body - the sugar is purely for the use of the yeast and bacteria.***If your tap water is heavily chlorinated, use bottled water. Most municipal water now uses ‘Chloramine’ which isn’t as easy to remove as Chlorine was - so boiling or letting stand overnight doesn’t work.#LeGourmetTV #GlenAndFriendsCooking #GingerBeer
