Master the art of natural fermentation with homemade ginger beer
In short: Learn how to create naturally carbonated, spiced ginger beer using a simple ginger bug. This video guides you through the process of brewing a wild yeast beverage at home.
The process begins by grinding ginger with water and simmering it with sugar and spices for 10 to 30 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is strained and transferred to pressure-rated bottles.
Fermentation occurs on a countertop at 21ºC - 23ºC for 1 to 3 days. The duration determines the strength: one day produces 0.2% alcohol by volume, while three days reaches approximately 1.5%. To stop carbonation, you can either pasteurize the bottles to kill the yeast or ferment the batch in a carboy for about two weeks.
