How to Make Homemade Ginger Ale Soda with Real Ginger | The Fermentation Adventure 

Hi everyone! Welcome to our channel and thanks for stopping by to learn about making homemade fermented ginger ale! 😋🥰If you're wondering about how to make your own ginger bug, which is the starter culture you'll need to make this delicious ginger ale (or also called ginger beer), then you'll want to check out this video -----> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wtb1BvRUWmI.html 😄 And if you haven't already, we'd love for you to subscribe! Happy fermenting! ❤

We used to make this all the time when I was younger. Eventually, we came up with the rule that you had to open these outside. Some of the bottles, when pressurized would shoot ginger ale several feet when opened. I remember once, I opened one in the kitchen that had been sitting in the fridge too long. It shot up and hit the ceiling. Panicking, I put my hand over the top and it shot out in every direction. It was a sticky mess! That's when we came up with that rule. If you do it outside, then if it explodes out, then you lose some ginger ale, but you don't have to worry about cleaning your entire kitchen.

I really appreciate how you didn't have any music in the background. Your ginger ale looks amazing!.

I think i watched this video more than 10 times while waiting on my bug to grow 🤣 I’m so excited I’m going to explode

This recipe is the BOMB!!. Family wants me to make more. Have the ginger bug and ready to make more. Thank you for a awesome recipe. I actually used 2 liter plastic bottles instead of glass beer bottles and it work perfect. Felt the tension on the 2 liter plastic bottles and then refrigerated. Worked perfect and bigger bottles for a large family. Will never go back to store bought ginger aie.

I've seen more than 25 videos on how to make ginger beer/bug/soda and yours are the most didactic and well explained. Thank you!

Question: 1) since you took away 1 cup of ginger ale bug, do you replace it with 1 cup of water and how many teaspoon of sugar to maintain the 16 oz ginger bug? 2) how long will ginger bug last in the fridge or at room temperature? Thanks.

WOW. This is the best video on homemade ginger beer/ale that I've seen. It's thorough as a "how to", not boringly technical, and it's so enjoyable to watch start to finish. I love the tester bottle idea and the option of adding lemon juice. Thanks for talking it through step by step. Greetings from the East Texas Piney Woods 🤠🖐️👍❤️

This is one of the most detailed Ginger Ale making video with proper step by step information.

If you chill before opening it won't overflow, cold temperatures keep the CO2 in solution.

I just had to let you know that I made ginger ale, but with a twist. First, using a centrifugal juicer, I juiced up enough fresh ginger root to make 1 full cup of pure ginger juice and poured it into a 1 gallon fermenting container. Then using a hand citrus juicer and juiced enough clementine oranges to make 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice and added that to the ginger juice in the fermenting container, along with 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (I did not have any lemons) and 2 cups of white cane sugar and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar and 1 cup of ginger bug. It took all of 3 days to ferment. I must say, that was the best tasting ginger ale I ever had, especially when I added a couple of ice cubes to the glass.

This series is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

You guys rock! I was just having a glass of ginger ale today and thought to myself “I wonder if I could make a better version” and turns out I can thanks to your guys’ help. Subscribed and eager to learn much more about fermentation :)

I love how positive you two are. This whole video made me smile the whole way through. Love it! :D

Thank You so much for your awesome knowledge in fermentation. This has been my first experience with ginger bug and the Ginger Ale. My ginger bug fermented and i followed this video exactly with the ginger ale. I hope to bottle this soon. Thanks for being awesome! Bottles up!

I am totally LOVING your channel! Ginger beer is a favorite of mine. I’m excited to make my own healthy ginger beer! Thanks!

I'm so excited to try this! This is right up my alley and I'm so grateful I found your channel, thank you!

This tastes really great and is so easy. Thank you for sharing your experience!!! It is fun to watch your Videos!!!

You two guys are just GREAT...I live in Las Vegas but I'm from Detroit where we had a Vernors ginger ale brewery andI love ginger ale and I have the exact bottles you're using. Going to try this right away....Thank You.

Such a great video. 19 mins went by in a flash. Very good tutorial. Very thorough. Can’t wait to make it.

Thank you for explaining everything so well!!

Made this recipe and it turned out amazing!

Wow just what I was looking for. Thanks for the easy presentation and easy to follow. I'll be making my bug this afternoon. And will make some soda when it's done

I was gifted a ginger bug for a Christmas gift and am excited to make some fresh ginger ale! Finally feel I'm ready! Thnk u for this video, I think I have watched about 4 times....😉😊

You guys are great. Love watching and learning from you.

Back in the day, good was more than just fuel. I'm glad people are getting back to food that has medicinal purpose. 🙂👍 Thanks for this video! Especially the tip on how to create "the tester"! I start checking/burning the bottles daily on the third day on when making ginger beer or root beer is to burb the screw lid glass bottle (that are specifically built for fermented drinks like my 40oz commercial Water Kefir bottle). I like your tester method better! The first time I made root beer, I followed the written timing, and sprayed it on to the kitchen ceiling and all over EVERYTHING! 🤣

So happy to have come across this video series! I'm starting a ginger bug today with some Australian turmeric ginger from my garden 😊

I grew up on Vernor's Ginger Ale and remember the taste and since the family sold the company to Cadbury in the 90s, it is now artificially flavor and made with corn syrup. I can wait to try this.

The ginger ale I made using this recipe was fantastic. I just finished drinking the last bottle from the first batch I made. As a result of weather changes over the week of the 1st and 2nd fermentations, the process was a bit erratic. Some days it seemed nothing was happening. Other days, the fermentation was going so fast that I had to burp the bottles every 3 to 4 hours to keep too much pressure from building up in the bottles. When I tasted the ginger ale from the tester bottle before putting the other bottles in the fridge, the batch was still too sweet, which hid the ginger taste. After letting the bottles sit in the fridge for a week, the result was perfect. Not too sweet and just the right overall taste of ginger spiciness. My first batch was only half of your recipe. Will definitely be making full 1 gallon batches from now on.

Thank you for the most concise tutorial I found on Ginger beer. You guys are delightful to watch. 🌞🙏

My Ginger Bug is started and I can't wait to make this Ginger Beer! I'm also going to make some of your Ginger Bug Soda's! This was so easy and informative. Thank you

Hi guys these is so nice I remember my grandmother she used to make it in the house when I was younger thank so much

After watching almost all of your videos, it makes me want to ferment all the ingredients in my fridge. The weather and climate are perfect for ferementation here in Indonesia🇮🇩 You guys are so lovely🥰, can't wait to see your next video

Thank you for all of your tutorials. I began making ginger beer using your recipe a few months ago. I'm trying a new one right now using raw coconut sugar mixed with raw cane sugar, a 2 to 1 coconut to cane mix. I made an inverted sugar mix from the coconut and cane sugar, added to a gallon jar with my ginger, and it began fermenting within the hour. It was overrunning my airlock within 24 hours- very active. It is very dark due to the dark sugars so it doesn't look like the tradition ginger beer. I can't wait to bottle and taste it!

Great video. Simple and clear. Good job!

Excellent: clear explanations., three- part repitition for each stage., no needless gargon during instruction, positive energy. Thank you for taking the time to create and share. Peace and Perfect-Health.

Wow! I can imagine how yummy this is! 💖💜💖

Great video, so after making the ginger ale, how do I keep my ginger bug alive?

I can’t wait to make this! I heard that actually you’re better off having less air and more liquid in a bottle to avoid exploding, because liquid ( cold) is better able to compress the CO2 as opposed to the air space, and further prevent a glass vessel from exploding

Gotta try this some day! Love it, thanks for sharing!

I'm truly happy to have found your videos! Thank you, both! I am wondering....I am going to ferment my one gallon of ginger ale in three 64oz mason jars, split evenly. Can I use the silicon lids in this process or just cover with a paper towel? Thank you!

I found out the pH in South Africa is between 8 and 8.5. I also found out when making beer a pH of 5 or so is ideal for the yeast. I think I will try about a cup of lemon juice or four lemons to get the pH down. Hope is doesn't overpower the ginger taste. After months of tries, I found out you have to work with the yeast and give it what is wants. More than two cups of sugar to a gallon slows down my wild yeast.

Thank you! I can’t wait to try this!

My first time making this in two years! Had to come back and refresh my memory. I have some family that trust me to mix stuff up in my kitchen and they try it! Lol. Seriously though, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about natural ways of eating and drinking healthy.

You can peel it with a spoon

Just finished off my first homemade ginger ale thanks to this video. It turned out great! Thank you guys!

Thank you for such great explanations! I love your videos!

Do you have any laboratory friends who could take a sample of your ginger bug and mount it on a slide so we can see it under a microscope? Maybe identify the microorganisms? Please 😀🙏

If you're worried about exploding bottles just burp them everyday 👍

Thank you for such a comprehensive video, you two are awesome and explained everything sooo well. I love ginger beer and definitely will do this😊

You guys are fantastic!!! Love all your recipes ❤

Ginger ale is either fermented with whey or made by mixing soda water or club soda with artificial or real ginger syrup. The product you made was ginger beer. ❤

MUST DEFINITELY MAKE THIS

Just made my first ginger bug.... can't wait to make ginger beer

I'm on love with y'all. Great video. Very informative. Best on the Internet 🎉❤

Very good guys, I love it, I do my ginger bugs fermentation for healthy soda and is so good, knowing there are probiotics and the fact that is a healthy soda, giving you the same satisfaction of a regular and bubbly soda but healthy. 🥰👏

thanks you guys...just awesome!!

Thanks for this video. Im gonna try this soon! 🤩

Great. Love the video. Made it all make sense. Props.

You are the best guys!!! Do more recipes please. Thank you a lot

Hey! I love gingerale! Thanks for giving us the real one!

You two are very good at teaching and presenting. Honest and real. You make a model couple. God Bless

Wow you are! That looks so interesting. I am definitely going to try to make some Gingerale. Thank you so much.😊

A truly nice video. Complete process information, well presented and lucid. Thanks guys. I am surely going to try it out.

yall are awesome, amazing knowledge to have. thank you

*wow this is incredible...I will try it...thank you!* ♥️

Thanks for making the video. It was really well done and helpful. I recently got into making kefir, hard apple cider and kombucha. After watching your video I made 3 liters of ginger beer. It is still in its first fermentation but smells amazing. I'll be bottling it tomorrow and then start a new batch.

Very down to earth video on ginger ale brewing

Thanks for your uplifting beautiful vibes you guys, I am making my third batch of this. First batch had mint was really good, Second batch was ginger -four months later the bottle must be 4.5% alcohol-Third batch will be Mint, raspberry leaf, ginger.

Great video and great idea for the tester! I remember my mother making ginger ale for the first time when I was a kid. We were all asleep one night a couple of days after she bottled it and heard "bang!!". Dad went downstairs to see what was up, couldn't find anything... "Bang!!". Wandered around again, again nothing, back to bed and "bang!". Surprise, surprise, couldn't find anything. I woke up the next morning and went to the pantry to grab some cereal and guess what I found... Yep, glass and ginger ale everywhere!

Tester bottle is an awesome 💡 idea!

My 4 bottles I have for mending are very firm this is exciting and fun stuff thank you guys

Thanks that's a lot of detail

My wife is so exited after 5 days of culturing the Bug! It is doing great and the ginger aroma is so refreshing

Awesome... Fun to see ur video. Thank you

Just put in my bottles today 🤞🏼

Thank you guys I made your ginger bug and now have ginger ale, I love it.

Very cool. Even when played backwards with the audio all, "wibblly wibbly wibbly" I actually learned something.

Y’all, I did it. It’s not hard, but that ginger bug took forever. Thank you for the information.

love your tutorial a lot

Nice thanks for sharing❤I already made some Tepache after watching your video, and now it's time to make a Ginger Ale 🎉🎉🎉

I can't wait to make one😋

Iove your fermented ginger al u make a great team

I made this cake and was pleasantly surprised how good it is. I did add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to counter the eggy taste etc. This is magic! Never knew only 3 ingredients would make such a wonderful dessert. Also it’s small enough to have with coffee for a few days! This recipe is now in my baking repertoire. Thanks so much 🎉

Clear instructions

I also do the plastic bottle trick for pressure but I also keep 1 bottle of sealed sparkling water to compare a room temperature fully pressurized bottle against. It helps remove a little more of the guesswork.

Woow, good work done and like your receipts keep it up

Good idea with the tester bottle! I’m definitely going to use that! I make a bunch of different fermented foods and drinks but I never thought of that! I just found you today. I’m definitely going to subscribe!

Hello from your new subscriber :) this video is absolutely perfect thankyou , its one of the best explained

I am always sharing your fermenting videos to family and friends. Now, thanks to your recipe, I need to make about 5 gallons of homemade ginger ale and bottle them by July 16, 2022 for 2 different family reunions.

Like your videos. Yummy ginger ale. Love ginger flavor

Lovely thank you

I can always find old beer bottles at Goodwill. There are always at least 2 on the shelves. I run them through the dishwasher a couple times to make sure they are good amd clean amd sterilized. I love your video. You explained it very well, easy to follow 😁

Not sure why this video popped up but i am digging it! Love you guys energy! Might have to try this, the 5% version of course 😂

Very nice video. You guys earned my subscription 😜👍

It's grammatically healthful, (not healthy) meaning good for you. Thanks for the video! Love real ginger ale. The stuff in the stores is just soda pop.

Thank You ... 😍🙏👍
