I have a new recipe here
Mix 1tsp bakers yeast in warm water with sugar.
Let sit for 10min
Mix:
Washed ginger root.
3/4c sugar.
1/3c lime juice.
1/2l Water
Blend
Strain the blended mix.
boil the mix briefly and allow to cool.
Add yeast to the blended mix and pour into a clean sanitized 1 liter IKEA Grolsch like bottle.
Let sit for 48h.
Open and drink.
This makes a spicy and not very sweet gingerale adjust the recipe to your own tastes. Adjusting the fruit juices can also be interesting. Post your adaptations in the comment section

Gonna try this. Love the stuff and have tried making some before but it came out very weak and watery.
ReplyDeleteLove your Blogs. You give me the impression of a bored scientist locked in his lab! :)
Oh, you dont say how much ginger root to use(?)
ReplyDeleteI used one big root from the grocery store. I never really measured them. usually ~4". depends how spicy you like it.

ReplyDeleteI have at times posted from a lab while waiting on the centrifuge or a long incubation.
:) Like your style!
ReplyDeleteBTW What is the measurement 'c' that is used for the sugar and lime juice?

ReplyDeletewhat kind of yeast did you use? i tried somehting similar once with bread yeast... not good
ReplyDeleteI have done it both with dried bread yeast and with champagne yeast. I think it was a little better with the champagne yeast but not that much different.
