Bundaberg Ginger Beer 375 ml (Pack of 12)

Product Information

Mrs Barbara Crisp has been making ginger beer for more than 35 years from a recipe found in the CWA (Country Women’s Association) cookbook. Her failsafe method is as follows: My mother used to make ginger beer when we were children, Fifty years ago! This tastes exactly the same and I cannot get enough of it! Traditional fermented ginger beer is non-alcoholic beverage. Wild-yeasts just can’t ferment to alcohol levels much above 1% ABV. Using a ginger bug starter means that this beverage is unlikely to ferment to above 0.5% ABV. I like to use panela sugar for a nice dark brown ginger beer (see below). You can also use white sugar or coconut palm sugar (see above). As a small hotel, we are delighted to have this product on board - especially when the sun comes out! It sells well on its own and doubles up when we run out of Crabbies when guests put a vodka in it, so, we get a double whammy!

If too much sugar is added to the mixture the number of yeast organisms will multiply dramatically, possibly causing the bottles to explode. Exploding bottles tend to be more common in recipes using bakers yeast (rather than sultanas). The sediment that accumulates in the bottom of the bottles is mainly dead yeast cells, the aftermath of the fermentation process. Replace the dry or liquid malt extract with other sugar sources such as honey, additional raw sugar, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc. Go to flavour town I have also heard some people use sourdough starter to make ginger beer, but I have no experience with this either. Health Benefits of Ginger Beer: In the cold weather, temperatures may be too low for fermentation to start. A temperature of around 25ºC is needed to break the yeast’s dormancy & start fermentation. Never again will I buy any other kind of Ginger Beer, I buy this in bulk because I know it's a hit with everyone in my region and I wouldn't ever want to be without it - a bit like not wanting to be without a man, - my man of course.And it’s going to be healthier than the store-bought version, because that’s the way we roll. Types of Homemade Ginger Beer Recipes:

Careful monitoring during the fermentation process is the key to maximising the flavour & avoiding exploding bottles. The yeast occurring naturally on the surface of the sultanas increases as it feeds on the sugar in the plant mix. In the process, carbon dioxide is formed, precipitating carbonisation as well as producing a very small amount of alcohol. Alcoholic ginger beer is a unique market as the ingredients and process involved in making alcoholic ginger beer generally differ greatly producer to producer which makes for a very varied mix of products available in the market. The bigger players Brookvale Union & Matilda Bay (Carlton), Eumundi, James Squire & Little Dragon (Lion) all use a very similar recipe resulting in alcoholic ginger beers that all taste good but are very similar: Producer Like other brewers, Aether was looking for a beer-adjacent option to meet the needs of customers – in Aether’s case, a demand for gluten-free options.

As before, feed it with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon ginger each day or a week. Carol's ginger beer Depending on the time of year and the room temperature, the brew may take more or less time to ferment. If the room is particularly cool, it could take an extra day or two to finish fermenting, whereas if it very warm, it could take less than 48 hours. How to Make Sweeter, Spicier Ginger Beer:
