How To Make REAL Ginger BEER At Home Glen And Friends Cooking

How To Make Naturally Carbonated Ginger Beer At Home. The process of making a wild yeast ginger beer or naturally fermented , naturally carbonated ginger beer is pretty easy once you've made the ginger bug. Ingredients: 4L water 400g ginger 500g sugar 3 star anise 30 black peppercorns 12 allspice berries 12 cardamom pods 3 cloves 200 mL ginger bug Our Ginger Bug Recipe:    • REAL Ginger BEER - Homegrown Wild Yeast Gi...   Our non-alcoholic Ginger beer / ale syrup recipe:    • 🔵 How To Make Ginger Syrup for Ginger Ale   Ginger Cake with the leftover pulp:    • Molasses Spice Ginger Cake Recipe   Method: In a blender or food processor grind the ginger with a bit of the water from the recipe. Pour the ginger and all of the water along with the sugar and spices into a heavy pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for at least 10 minutes, but up to 30 minutes is great, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Turn off the heat, cover and allow to cool to room temp. Once at room temp strain out the solids through a (cheesecloth lined) fine mesh strainer. Mix in the ginger bug. Pour into sealable bottles or jugs that are ‘pressure rated’ - Beer or pop bottles are great. Let stand on your countertop at room temp (21ºC - 23ºC) for 1-3 days, depending on the level of carbonation and alcohol** you are looking for. Refrigerate and enjoy! Makes about 4L **tested alcohol levels: 1 day on countertop: 0.2% alc by volume 2 days on countertop: 1% alc by volume 3 days on countertop: 1.5% alc by volume 4 days on countertop: 1.6% alc by volume How we tested for alcohol amounts:    • How Much Alcohol is in Naturally Carbonate...   Carbonation will continue in the fridge, just at a slower pace. If you want to stop the carbonation you have 2 options: 1) When the bottles reach a carbonation level you like - pastuerise the bottles. Pasteurising will kill the yeast. 2) Ferment the batch in a carboy until fully fermented (about 2 weeks), then bottle and use a small amount of dextrose to bottle condition / carbonate. But really this method gives you a few bottles that you should consume quickly - this isn't a style that is for long term storage of more than a couple of weeks. #LeGourmetTV #GlenAndFriendsCooking #GingerBeer Check out the ‘Merch’ in our TeeSpring store- T-Shirts, Mugs and more: https://teespring.com/stores/glen-fri...
