William's Soda Extracts the finest available, for a rich, old-fashioned flavor. This old time spicy Ginger Beer Extract has a real flavor kick to it, with a strong hot spiciness that lingers. We consider this to have an adult level of spiciness, and this one will probably not be enjoyed by the youngsters. Great for drinking on its own or as a mix in cocktails. One 4 ounce bottle (and 3 pounds of corn sugar or equivalent) will make 3 gallons of rich non alcoholic soda using the traditional mix and carbonate method. Gluten free.
Safety Warning: If you bottle condition with champagne yeast, use plastic PET bottles, as glass bottles could explode, causing personal injury. Carbonating with yeast can be unreliable, and some batches may turn out flat, while others can be overcarbonated.

Q: What gives this extract it’s spiciness?
A: Capsicum is what provides the heat.
Unpleasant departure from Ginger.
I've fallen in love with ginger beer and have made 9+ gallons utilizing a southern family recipe inspired by Mrs. Beeton's book of household management from 1833. Following the directions exactly, the batch of ginger beer this produced was completely undrinkable. The spice was welcome, but in place of ginger's tell-tale warm citrus notes and earthiness, there was a mouth-stripping bitterness that made us both recoil. We've experimented 1-liter at a time through the entire bottle and have not found a combination of water, ginger, lemon, or sugar that can make our extract palatable in any way. I will revise this review if we try the product again - everything else from Williams is fantastic!
Finally a spicy Ginger Beer!
I've been looking for a good flavor concentrate for a while now, I love ginger beer. All I've found so far were too weak or too citrusy. This one is great! I just wish they made it in larger quantities.
Very Nice Spicy Ginger Beer
I mix up a batch of this in a 3gal keg to put on tap during the summer. It is great to have a non-alcoholic option for some people... but the best part is I can easily pour myself a dark and stormy or any type of "mule" that I want. I use brown sugar instead of white and it comes out great.
