I did a 3 gallon batch.

6 cups dark brown sugar.
.4 lbs of fresh ginger (grated with skin on in the nutri bullet)
1 large lemon (zest and juiced)
2.5 limes (zest and juiced)

My entire house smelled like lemon. It was interesting to me that the ginger smells a lot like lemon.

I heated the 3 gallons with the rest of the ingredients to 155 and let it cool down. Then I used my funnel that has a strainer in it and filled the keg. It smells amazing but not really like any ginger ale I have ever bought at the store.

Does anyone have an opinion on this recipe? I dug it up on this forum somewhere, or similar. I'm concerned I may have used too much sugar. Also I'm wondering about using less sugar or a substitute?

It's carbing up right now at 35psi. I figure I'll leave it there for a day and a half or so.
