Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Ginger

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root.

2

Make the Ginger Mixture

In a large pot, combine the grated ginger, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

3

Heat the Mixture

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove it from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

4

Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in a few tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

5

Combine and Ferment

Once the ginger mixture is cool, mix in the activated yeast and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top.

6

Cap and Store

Seal the bottles tightly and store them in a cool, dark place for 3 to 5 days to ferment. Check daily for carbonation.

7

Refrigerate

Once desired carbonation is reached, refrigerate the bottles to stop the fermentation process.

8

Serve

Serve chilled, and enjoy your refreshing ginger beer!
