I do about 100g of ginger, 100g of sugar per liter. Kind of sugar doesn't matter. ==> 5.8% ABV fermented dry. Easiest way to let gas out: poke a needle through the end of a balloon so co2 gas can get in, but oxygen / bugs / etc don't get in. You can also very loosely place the lid on top of the bottle but if it's on too tight, the co2 buildup will make the bottle explode. |

Continuing from a discussion on giko: My plan is to test drive a simple fermented ginger beverage with the following ingredients/materials: 1. Grated ginger 2. Brewer's yeast 3. Water 4. 1-2 chili peppers, to taste 5. Sugar (which type?) 6. 2L plastic bottle So far I have heard that it is important to slowly release the gas in the bottle, and carefully monitor the pressure. What I imagine is an earthy, simple drink. Something to be enjoyed after a day's work, or savored with some deep-fried foods. Any suggestions? |
