Method
Ginger Beer Base Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ginger
Using a knife or a food processor, peel the ginger root and chop it into small pieces to maximize the extraction of flavors.
- 2
Boil the Mixture
Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
- 3
Cool Down the Mixture
Allow the ginger mixture to cool completely, as adding yeast to hot liquid can kill the yeast.
- 4
Strain the Ginger Beer Base
This will leave you with a clear liquid that will be your ginger beer base.
- 5
Add Citrus and Yeast
Stir gently to combine, ensuring the yeast is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- 6
Ferment the Mixture
Check periodically for carbonation. Once you see bubbles forming, the fermentation is complete.
- 7
Transfer to Keg
Ensure all equipment is sanitized to prevent contamination.
