Quarantine Activity - Make Ginger Beer at Home
Ойын-сауық
Bored? Store out of ginger beer? Hopefully this video will solve both those problems.
Making ginger beer at home is easy and a little time consuming, which is certainly something I have a lot of right now. Going on day 7 of a state-ordered shut-in, I have been staying busy by creating. It now looks like we might be in lockdown for another month, so I will definitely be making several batches.
For the full recipe and instructions, visit: wp.me/p8RJui-1rL
Stay safe, everyone!
[NOTE] I super appreciate your comments and support! But understandably, comments can easily get lost in the masses! I have had some people comment that I didn't reply to previous comment, or that they had a pressing question. Well, I spent several minutes trying to find it, but there are hundreds of comments and I couldn't locate it. If you have a pressing question, please use the "Community" thread on the channel page where I am more likely to be able to find it. I do my best to answer all your questions, but sometimes it's just not possible. Please understand it's not personal, at all. I am only one human.

You can pasteurise the bottles once done to extend the life by weeks if making larger batches. Pear juice also works really well as an additive.
if you dont want to bother opening the bottles every 24h i recommend buying a fermenter (a big bucket with one way pipe to let the gasses out) and putting the mixute in it (step shown at 3:58 of this vid) for the first week for the fermentation. After fermentation stops ( usually 7-10 days) pour it in to the bottles or staight into the glasses since its good to go already.

The whole point of this is NOT to add CO2. This is old-fashioned soda, before someone invented the carbon-adding process. I'm sure you could also call this ginger ale. I made a low-alcohol soda like this from apple juice, and the carbonation tasted so natural and easy to drink, not like modern soda.

My kind of lady! Well done and cheers on with what you’re doing.
HINT: Place a bent over twist tie over the bottle edge then put the funnel in to the top of bottle so not to have bubbles gulping and end up over pouring. Some funnels have a built in line on the funnel spout to help with this issue.
Nicely done. I've not used a ginger bug myself, but now I am a bit inspired to do so and revisit my own recipe.
