"the more sugar you add the more alcoholic it will be" *adds a entire bag of sugar*

The amount of sugar he's added is too much, the yeast can only produce alcohol up to 4/5% w/v before they die. Two tablespoons every feed is probably as much as can be handled

Sorry for reducing views, but I've watched many times to remember this: Ingredients: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Probiotic Ginger beer ------------------------------------------ 2-4 Tbsp of sugar (~25.5-51g) 2x 2 inch ginger peices (5cm) Alcholic Ginger Beer ------------------------------------------ 1 cup of sugar 2x 2 inch ginger peices (5cm) Directions: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are going to add any additional spices, ideally you would do that with the boiling process. Chop finely or grate ginger. Add ginger and sugar (and spices) to pot and add water. Heat to boiling and boil for 15 minutes. Account for and additional ~10-15 mins from cold/warm water to boiling for a 4L pot Remove from heat and let cool down to room temperature- Note: this can be over a couple hours (to speed up I've brought outside in the winter after covering it up). Move to brewing vessel and add a bit of the ginger bug. Note: if too hot, will kill bacteria Cover and store (I use a lid with an airlock). I store on the counter by a window--- albeit currently is winter and have a double or triple-paned window. After 7 days, bottle it up (or move to pitcher and store in fridge). Optional: force carbonate before bottling.

My family used to make ginger beer for 20 years. We were in New Zealand inland, so our only ginger was dried ginger. We 'd get a ginger bug from a neighbor, but none of us in Central New Zealand had fresh ginger. Folks should know that fermentation creates alcohol, and ginger beer can be up to 4% alcoholic! But real ginger beer, the kind you brew yourself, tasts wonderful!

Interesting video, although your description of how fermentation works is a little wrong. Temp has nothing to do with dictating alcohol or vinegar. the warmer the liquid is the faster it ferments. You turn alcohol into vinegar by introducing oxygen. Cheers!

It's not exactly that - I think he's referring to the fact that if the temperature is warm, the yeasts will take the majority of the sugar to turn into alcohol. If the temperature is cold, it will favour the bacteria that will produce various acids (other than acetic acid) as waste products.

for those who are worried about dirty hands, don't worry about it, those hands are clean. when one grates cabbage, carrots, ginger etc the hands look like we have been playing in the dirt for some reason. those are the color of hands that do the work. many people prefer to use their hands to make food instead of wearing gloves that leach chemicals into the food and can cause skin rash to the wearer.

Temperature is a influencing factor but the important part is whether there is oxygen in the vessel. If you give it oxygen the bacteria will reduce ethanol to vinegar. If no Oxygen is available then the glucose will simply become alcohol without vinegar.

i do appreciate your "no rules" approach. it takes some courage to buck the idealist trends of mass sanitation. it's important for teaching purposes to show what is possible with least amount of fussing. you can sanitize all you want, but know that it's possible to not be so anal about it, and spend more time being creative and taking more chances...you will probably enjoy it more even if your results aren't as consistent. that's my 2 cents as a beer brewer for 20 years! cheers

Great simple instruction! Have 2 questions though, hopefully you can answer them for me: 1) in most recipes I've seen they cover the glass with a clot, why don't you cover it? 2) when you put all ingredients together for the Ginger beer, why do you let the Ginger parts out? Is this to avoid a too heavy taste or just for the looks? And why don't you close the lid? When you do that I suppose it'll have way more carbonic acid in it

Was it spicy? That's the one thing I don't like about some ginger ales. They tend to have that spicy taste and it's just not appealing to me lol. You ever try making Mead? It's even easier I'm making some now with water, honey, yeast, raisins, and cinnamon sticks. It's only been 3 weeks it's killing me waiting so long lol have to wait another 3 or so before I can drink it but I've heard to bring out the best flavors you should let it go through a second fermentation for another few months to even a few years. Good news though is that it's chugging along no problems no off smells and still fills up the balloon I used as an airlock with CO2 (I even used bread yeast even though it isn't recommend lol) Can't wait to finally remove it from it's first fermentation bottle. It should come out looking crystal clear with a honey colored tent to it (whatever color honey you use I used clover honey which again people advise against but fuck it lol mine should turn out a light orange color)
@MochaTater
@MochaTater 6 жыл бұрын
Jack Fruth another idea that actually makes things easier is to just take a balloon poke a few holes in it so CO2 can escape and put it over the neck of the bottle. When you want to stop fermentation I'd suggest siphoning the beverage into another container to remove as much yeast as possible then you can do a few things but the best way I think is to stick that bottle in the FRIDGE NOT the FREEZER lol if you put it in the freezer it will just expand and break the bottle. Keep it in there several days making sure to open the lid from time to time to make absolute sure it's not building up pressure. You ever make mead? I'm making some now so far so good but only on my third week so there's still time for me to fuck it up XD

great video, thanks for sharing. Another additive that you didn't mention is Chilli, if you want your ginger beer to have a bit more bit :)

When you are doing the fermentation of ginger brew to make an alcoholic ginger beer, do you cap it? Or put a breathable material on it? Thanks!

I'm following this recipe and so far so good. Very easy to follow video. I'm flavouring one of the batches with cardamon seeds. Could this same recipe also work using banana, possibly keeping the skin on the pieces of banana during the bug stage? I'm tempted to try.

When you have made your bug and your ginger tea and you add it to the bottle for another two weeks, do you cover the bottle with a lid or do you once again just cover it like you did the ginger bug?

Thankyou. I’ve tried several batches. My question: I find the ginger bug really infects the ginger brew with an alcoholic flavour is there a way to minimise alcolohlic

Taste your Bug daily as it sits on the counter; I put mine in fridge as soon as I taste the slightest carbonation(about day 2-3), which slows down fermentation and thus alcohol production. Try that and work your way to the taste you prefer.

When making the Alcoholic Ginger Beer do you add an airtight lid or just a cheese cloth / napkin?

Hey , i just did the ginger bug for about 5 days.. it was active fizzy and bubbly.. i did the ginger tea and then at 20°C of temperature i added the ginger bug.. then i bottled it but.. after 1 day i did not get any fizzyness inside the flip top bottle.. that's normal or that's strange and not normal? Hope to get an answer... thanks

1 day is usually not enough. I do 2-3 days on counter at room temp, to taste, then goes in fridge, and usually you’ll notice buzz p/flavor building each day if you taste each day.

At the end, when you mix the ginger tea with the ginger bug, do you leave the jar opened (for two weeks)? Don't you bottle up the mixture and close the jar this two weeks?

I add Bug to bulk and leave in closed Gallon jar for a couple days on counter, burping it daily, then when it is tasting how I like it, I strain & decant to bale bottles p, seal them, and refrigerate from then on. Fill bottles only to shoulder or slightly above to allow for compression.

Do you after straining a small amount of the BUG into The TEA then continue feeding the bug to make more ginger beer. I like how you have simplified this recipe making me feel perhaps I too can have a go.

Is there a way to predict how alcoholic will the ginger beer be? Will it be like 4-5% like a regular light beer or could it get stronger based on how much sugar I add or how long I let it ferment?

I heard elsewhere that’s about the limit unless you use an Ale type yeast that is “tolerant” to 10% alcohol
