■ 🕑 1. Ginger Beer Concept
│  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?

  │  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.

      I see! And how did you find the carbonation?
      I'll try to go to the store to buy the 
      ingredients today. I'll periodically
      update here as the project moves along
