I couldn't hold myself back, I cracked out until I had watched em all :heart:

Now I am taking a break to re watch them all sometime soonish.

Mhmm, gin mule sounds pretty bomb.

Here is another update:


This is after being bottled for 3 days.

The one on the left is a molasses hybrid I added berries to and actually tastes much better than the simpler one with just cane sugar and a bit of juice.

The berry one is already pretty carbonated and very tasty, they both are not too sweet. Though I will let them go another day or two at least.

Hopefully they get more carbonated and a bit less sweet by then, I am very impressed though and will definitely be making much more.

I would highly recommend trying it as it is simple and not very time consuming and very worth it.

I have such a healthy buzz going from drinking just two little partially filled small glasses :ooo:

Following it up with a kombucha now since I want to let it sit a bit longer and start more batches before I drink much.

Here is a pic showing how fizzy the berry one is:


It has foamed up pretty intensely twice now today, I will probably move it to the fridge tomorrow morning or late tonight to slow/stop the carbonating.

Will be definitely adding berries to many of the future batches I make :drooling: so tasty. I will try starting the ferment with berries too.

I didn't know you used a culture to make ginger beer. Is it like water keffir kinda then?

My mom used to make water kiefer but I have o idea how it is done really :shrug: Tastes like liquid healthy natural candy though.

This is my first attempt at ginger beer, I am sure a similiar non pro biotic could be made. Like ginger ale sodas.

I was at a chinese restaurant the other day and ordered a "ginger ale" expecting something dank and got a canned soda :sad: I drank a little and regretted it.

Threw up later, though that was a combination of things. The soda did not help though. This ginger ale would have :heart:

Yeah commercially produced "ginger ales" don't even really have anything in common with a real ginger brew

I wish I had known the difference when I was younger...

Agree. When brewing always think i should turn on hepa filter and sanitize the room first :smile:

Even though one of the recipes says you cant use honey, it have worked fine for me and every other mead brewer. But i do think ginger ale is too sharp tasting when brewed with pure honey. A spoon full is great though.

I've brewed root beer
but most root beers now a days are made using extracts for flavoring
I'd like to use actual roots and herbs if I could find some
maybe I'll start off by doing some birch beer instead

I would like to try some root beer eventually as well, the stuff I am making now I try to balance at barely sweet so I get mostly probiotic ginger goodness :crazy2:

Some batches are sweeter like soda and some are more sour like wine, I try to balance it at relatively neutral though.

Here is my culture today:



I combined the two I kept into one big ass jar it has been sitting on my counter for months being fed nothing but sugar and ginger...

Here are 2/3 of my most recent batches:


These literally got fizzy in one day... Hours after I closed them after making them I opened em and they both fizzed up majorly. Hours later :eek:

I let them go one more day and both are champagne fizzy now, that pic doesn't do em justice as I had just popped em and moved em to the fridge where the culture mellows out/ goes dormant. Both would have erupted like volcanoes if I had let em :cool: I can't believe they can get so fizzy just a few days to even hours after being poured... So awesome, thanks nature!
