20L of room temp water, 60g of powdered/ground ginger, 1 soft drink cap of citric acid, any bakers or fancy yeast and 2.5% alcohol per kg of sugar so 10%/20proof add 4kg of sugar. No Mess and ready in about 1 week unless in a cold area. add a tea spoon per plastic soda bottle when decanting wait 1 day and put in fridge.

Ayyy, it was only a matter of time before I found this! I like adding in pineapple juice in lieu of some sugar to back sweeten. Thanks for sharing this process!

thank you for ginger beer video

A good ginger beer is always a winner! Great content. Will give this a go for sure.
BTW your recipe online is missing the 2kg raw sugar

@colwk 1 year ago

I hot cube the ingredients at 75°c to pesturise them, plus it helps maserate for more flavour. I've never back sweetened, but I'm going to for sure next time thanks.

Nice. I want to make a Bundaberg ginger beer in taste but will a little alcohol. Probably give this a go just to try it though

@SpartanJ137 1 year ago

I cannot believe the timing of this video!

I have been looking for recipes / guidence for this exact process for ginger beer.

Do you have a recomendation on the amount of sugar to use for back-sweetening if not using the agave syrup?

Who wants to drink sweet ginger beer? Dry is the best!

Cool recipe, it's so hard to find proper alcoholic ginger beer recipes. Raw ginger gives a very firey raw taste, which is great if that's what you're after. If you want a more traditional gingery flavour with less throat catching fire, but still warming, then cook the ginger before starting your ferment.
