How to make Alcoholic Ginger Beer in 3 weeks |No ginger bug 

So I tried this out last week, after 4 days it was 8%. I started drinking it then. The remaining that has survived is now 9 days old and reading 14%. I used mangrove jacks MK02 cider yeast. Just made a new batch this past weekend, added fresh mint to the must, tastes even better. Thanks for the new hobby!

I make ginger wine at 13.0 with home grown grapes, local honey, it makes my arthritus feet feel good with a 2ounce shot.!!🤠

No need to sterilise your ingredients if you are boiling it all for 15 minutes, that's more than long enough to kill any bugs that may have been there. Cheers.

I love the keep-it-simple attitude; I completely agree!

If you swirl the bottle around when you invert it into the fermenter it will create a vortex which will empty the bottle very quickly, with a rush rather than glug glug glug. Just for pure interest sake, I believe that 2kg of sugar in 8 litres of water will give you a starting gravity of approximately 1.090 with the addition of the raisons at least 1.090. Sugar will ferment out to a very low SG perhaps less than 1.000 but if it only goes to 1.000 then the alcohol will be approximately 11%. Burp!! very nice.

Personally im not really keen on ginger beer but i have to say i thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. My dad likes ginger beer so maybe i will give this a go and see if i can make him a nice Christmas present. He loves when people personally make gifts so i know he would be over the moon if i created some ginger beer for him and would be a lovely surprise

I’m doing this for sure 🎉❤ going to be great for Xmas drinks on the beach 🏖️

LOL! 🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I feel the need to 'SHAKE' the blender too!

I went to a Cider Festival some years ago and discovered both Apple and Ginger cider and Pear and Ginger cider, both spectacularly good. I’ve been looking for a Perry Ginger!

I'll give this a try!

I do like living in North Wales as our tap water is great for brewing. There is some chlorine and fluoride in it but not enough to taste bad or have a bad taste

Really great video! Ive had my first ginger beer, whit just ginger and lemon, brewing for 3 weeks now.. Cant wait to taste it

Awesome video ♥️ I will add some of the 8 litres into the mixer to make it easier to mix and get out. But thx for the recepie

Thank you Anna!

Great video, love ginger beer 😃

Nice thing using the plastic bottles is you'll soon know if still fermenting . Love the fermentation buckets

This will knock off your knickers! Imust be drunk but I think the bucket says "bigger jugs". Love your channel!

Looks great, I bet it tastes great. You should always ferment to completion before bottling into sealed bottles unless you are aware of the physics of what you are doing in relation to sugar, attentuation, and carbonation. Refermentation doesn't care about the space you have above the liquid, and what you show isn't ample to "contain any fermentation". Use a sugar addition to restart fermentation for carbonation. Plenty of calculators online with how much to add to your ginger beer before bottling.

Starsan is much better for Sanitizing. I keep a spray bottle of Starsan. It’s a bit expensive but works very well.

Ooh looking forward to this although unfortunately I can't drink alcohol but would love to just try and make it, hubby with sample it. Oh on another note, I got my Kelly Kettle yesterday 😊

Love this. Home brew can be so rewarding even when bottles blow up and spray the garage. In May try collecting elderflowers to make cordial and champagne . Plenty of recipes on youtube.

Oh my goodness, this recipe is exactly what I wanted! ❤❤❤😂😂thank you Anna

tnx for de video

no need apologize my dear ... found your video quite informative. An aunt used to make ginger beer some 30 odd years ago which we as kids really enjoyed. I always wondered what went into the making of ginger beer even though her methods my have differed somewhat. Your instruction was very easy to follow with a hint of poshness in your instruction. Companies would do well to hire you to promote their products with your attention to detail for minute necessities. I do not drink but for some reason I am drawn to subscribe regardless. Well done and thank you :))

I made this pretty much as shown. The ginger flavor is really really strong. Alcohol is pretty strong, too. It's good, but I have to cut it with soda to tame the strong ginger. I think you could make it with half the ginger and a little less sugar. Otherwise, it's a good mixer with Sprite or Apple soda.

Oh mercy this looks A M A Z I N G can’t wait to try it out myself…thanks so much for sharing I will be back!

Greetings from Malaysia.. tqvm for the recipe

We always used 1 sultana in each bottle for extra carbonation it also makes your alcoholic gingerbeer alot better and there was no need for carbonation tablets.

i love your accent

I read somewhere that white sugar will turn to alcohol 100% but brown sugar will not. So your finished wine/beer will contain slightly less alcohol but remain sweeter.

I havent got the large brewing bucket that you initial use to mix and brew, i have the smaller bucket with the airlock, would it be fine to use just this one bucket for the entire couple weeks fermentation.. without needing to skim the muxture and transfer to a different container?

I use a very similar recipe but use dried malt extract instead of sugar, it gives more body to the brew imo. ;)

Wonder what would happen if you ran the flat product in a Soda Stream at the time of use. Best of both worlds fizzy and no worries about burst bottles.

Surely add puréed ginger purée to beer of choice. Add fresh lemon 🍋 to enhance no end!

baby sanitiser works really well for homebrew cleaning

Nice video. Ive tried this before with pure apple juice and sugar. It was a nice cider drink. But the next time im doing it ill leave it longer. I dont know what the strength was but id like mine to be about 7 or 8% like Henry Weston's.

what is a size ? what was the gravity at the start and ending - 1.00?

Awesome video , I’m going to try this at the weekend! Is the transferring it to another bucket essential? Or can you just do it all in 1 bucket?

4:22 so the tap water vs bottled water, most of the time bottled water is actually just tap water that’s been filters so you would be better off buying a good water filter jug and just keep buying new filters (they also don’t need changing as often as the manufacturers claimed) it’s going to save you a bunch of money in the long run and it’s the same stuff your overpaying for and there are some amazing filters on the market I have found one that removes 100% of stuff from the water (most don’t including brita) it’s called zero water filters. For drinking you don’t really want everything removing from your water as we get quite a bit of our mineral intake from the water we drink but if your making drinks/brewing it’s probably a great idea.

Love the vid. Would it make any difference if you added the lemons to the sugar/water solution to extract the oils?

Nice job done.

This is awesome cant wait to try this! Is there a way to re-use all those ingredients after the first fermentation? This would save a bunch of money as im not sure of the price of ginger where you are but here in Australia its $27.kg

If you add some of the water for the mash to the blender it will puree much more effectively without affecting your measurements

Thank you so much for this. You really make this seem like fun, but I appreciate and share your feeling that this kind of stuff might be quite important to learn in a fast changing world. These are valuable skills you are sharing. :)

Nice show, great recipe. You must stop apologizing all of the time, you are great.

Thanks for the recipe! Off to the store ( tomorrow) for some ginger!

if you wanna crank it to 19% i can recommend trying double snake turbo yeast with a low starting amount of sugar (i just "fed" the yeast daily for ~two weeks until it stopped reacting) and a clearing agent that clumps the yeast in the liquid so it gets a clearer color (and no yeast remains)

a good champagne yeast works a treat 18% boom

Excellent video .. How much ginger used?

Hi, what is the bucket you use for the fermentation?

Shout out from down under Australia. Great video. What quantities for a 20 litre batch please? Definitely trying this one. Cheers. 🤙🇦🇺

If you want to carbonate it...halfway through the fermentation process...about 10 days....put the beer into sterilized plastic soda bottles. Fill it 3/4 full and tighten well. Soda bottles can take extreme pressure and your brew will carbonate itself.

don't overstress the sterile part . while you have to work clean the yeast you tend to use are killer strains and will any other strains pressent

add water when u blend

I'm 69, and along with a hearing problem, I'm having a difficult time understanding because of your accent. Do you have a list of the ingrediants anywhere and perhaps the steps? I did catch at the beginning you said it was simple and it gets the results you like, and that got my attention, but I got lost as you went on. Thanks for posting this as I have always wanted to try ginger beer.

add a little water in the blender and you won't have to shake it :)

I would call it ginger wine then. Ginger beer is always lower abv.

Do you have a print version of this recipe?

I am sorry, but what is the name of that yeast? You recommend non baking yeast correct?

If you include water while blending, it would be better than trying to strangle your blender.😂 In all fairness, if the final product is flat, it is really more of an apple-ginger wine.

can I make yeast from barely?..and how please ?

It's really difficult to find a good hard ginger beer recipe. I ended up taking different things from a bunch of different recipe I liked. Like you said, the beer lacks body. So instead of sugar, I used molasses. Also, I don't know if it's the ginger, or the molasses that I used, but I noticed the yeast fermentation was weak. I added yeast nutrient and it started up again within 24 hours. It's still fermenting 3 weeks in...

you know it is a good recipe cause she already sounds a bit tipsy

can this be done sugarless?

Had tobacco in water as bug spray, sit around awhile, began to brew, it works alright 4 mites, no harm to plants, tobacco alcohol tho, an experiment in repulsive, I wud think,

Vigavarichi parriski,?

15:48 🤣

The label on the second bucket 😂 Bigger Jugs..

You are not human if you do not shake the thing or press the button on a Toaster

Good stuff , are you making this in hospital surgery room ?

Ugh avoid plastics and hot liquid or any heat,, seeps polymers

I would like to share my recipe to make pineapple and ginger beer I make and sell alot over the Corona virus season it is as follow I use the two medium size pineapples and grait it up I put it in a 20 liter plastic bucket or cleaned plastic paint drum I throw in 2 kg sugar ,4 pkt of instant yeast or 2 pkt brewers yeast then I take a whole loaf of brown bread and make crumbs and put it it the bucket can also put a box of jungle oats in then pour in lukewarm or slightly hotter water in then stir the mixture thoroughly with a wooden till mixture and you see only bread crumbs in the water i put the lid on and close it tight sealing it entirely I let it stand for up to a full week but you can let in stand for longer and it will become stronger. but open it up after the week and let get stir it up again before covering it again but open up after every two or three so that the bucket don't explode because of the pressure that builds up then you can strain through a big sif or a old net curtain and then you bottle I tell you that is real alcoholic pineapple beer you can substitute the pineapple dry ginger powder at least 200g and you can chop up fresh ginger and threw it in enjoy😊

I like the scummy stuff. I used to live in Romford.

Where is the list/quantity of ingredients?

WOW, I'm in love. You are a stunning looking woman Ana and sweet too

Isn't the bucket too wide?

This is the link to Ginger and orange beer that turned up even better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wdswb8H0NPg.htmlsi=4D5hFYw7QHjmmgVb

You have strong shoulders!

Recipe and quantities??????

Carboy not demijon

I seen this video 😂

I would watch another video if you did less methanfetamin before recording

I accidentally made my ginger beer into beer

_"We might not be able to get Ginger…"_ …

Et pourquoi un tonneau de 200l aussi !! Mdr! et puis les bouteilles en plastique franchement ça fait pas sérieux

Unless you grow your own ginger, this would be overly expensive to brew where I live.

I don't disagree, but has anyone noticed that more and more people have a NEGATIVE outlook for the future. Everyone is prepping, even if it's just a little bit like having some booze available just in case. I'm 65, we used to say let the good times roll, it just keeps getting better. Now, it's party on because tomorrow we may die. YOLO! Peak Capitalism and Consumerism, enjoy it while it lasts.

Just remember, Grapefruit is a no no with certain medications. Just FYI. If you are on medication, make sure you know what you can and cannot have. Grapefruit is a big culprit.

I wanted to watch this but..26 minutes?!!

I can’t believe you’re using bottled water…where are you that the supply is so poor, that’s dreadful! Could you use a filter- that’s what I do for my beer, despite our supply being ok.

Please include recipes on screen and/or in the description with advice on primary and secondary volumes. State your gravities, especially your starting sg, final sg, and sg after any back sweetening. *Some unsolicited RU-vid (and BrewTube) advice...* If your intent is to teach, and not just demonstrate, you should also explain ABV calculation, etc., but if you are just demonstrating then gravities, without going into how it relates to ABV, is just fine IMO. "Tasty and gingery" isn't very descriptive... A tasting with auroma and flavor notes would be great, especially if you could bring in someone else to join your tasting so you can discuss. For example how does the grapefruit contribute? Do you taste it, or does it only bring balance to the acids, or does it add a bitter note, how does the flavor develop from first contact to swallow to exhale. I understand you might not feel qualified to do it, but it could also be good content to document your journey of developing your pallet with a friend / loved one too. Experiment with adding soft background music, it really lifts videos and helps them flow. Keep working on improving your pacing, package the same content in a smooth 15min video and a lot more will watch until the end. Keep it up and stick with it and I really think you can grow into a great channel 👍

Very good very good. 80% less talking would make your videos easier to watch. I found myself fast forwarding a lot. Good luck with your videos.

Yikes, I thought this was Ginger Beer. It's Fruit salad.

What was the name of the brew bucket you was using? The one without the airlock:)

why dont you add some water to the blender. also its very well known that apple seeds contain cyanide, albeit a negligible amount, it is fam from "all health" haha

You alcoholic and worrying that you can't get a drink if thee a lock down !!! Or war 😂😂😂😂
