Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Malt

    In a large pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 100 g of barley malt and stir well. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, ensuring the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Hops

    After 30 minutes, add 10 g of hops to the pot. Continue to simmer the mixture for another 10 minutes, allowing the hops to infuse their flavor.

  3. 3

    Cool the Mixture

    Remove the pot from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This is crucial for the yeast to be added without being killed by heat.

  4. 4

    Add Yeast

    Once the mixture has cooled, sprinkle 5 g of yeast over the surface. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then stir gently to combine.

Flavoring

  1. 5

    Incorporate Flavorings

    Add 1 tsp of lemon zest, 2 tbs of honey, and 1 tbs of grated fresh ginger to the yeast mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  2. 6

    Fermentation

    Cover the pot with a clean cloth or lid and let it sit in a warm, dark place for 5-7 days. During this period, the yeast will ferment the mixture, creating carbonation and flavor.

Final Steps

  1. 7

    Strain and Bottle

    After fermentation, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into clean bottles, discarding the solids. Seal the bottles tightly.

  2. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the bottles for at least 24 hours before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Kingfisher Zero chilled!
