Quarantine Activity - Make Ginger Beer at Home

- Bored? Store out of ginger beer? Hopefully this video will solve both those problems.
Making ginger beer at home is easy and a little time consuming, which is certainly something I have a lot of right now. Going on day 7 of a state-ordered shut-in, I have been staying busy by creating. It now looks like we might be in lockdown for another month, so I will definitely be making several batches.

Stay safe, everyone!

That burp at the end sure earned you a like from me.
YESSSS!
It earned a like and a subscription from me... 😁
You can pasteurise the bottles once done to extend the life by weeks if making larger batches. Pear juice also works really well as an additive.
if you dont want to bother opening the bottles every 24h i recommend buying a fermenter (a big bucket with one way pipe to let the gasses out) and putting the mixute in it (step shown at 3:58 of this vid) for the first week for the fermentation. After fermentation stops ( usually 7-10 days) pour it in to the bottles or staight into the glasses since its good to go already.
Thank you! I try to design my recipes so people don't have to spend money on extra equipment and to make it accessible to everyone. But I appreciate the suggestion and thank you for watching! :)

PEOPLE: THIS DRINK GETS VERY FIZZY. I opened it over the sink just in case and thank God I did. You do not need to add CO2 this recipe makes this ginger beer VERY fizzy !!!
Oh I hope so!
The whole point of this is NOT to add CO2. This is old-fashioned soda, before someone invented the carbon-adding process. I'm sure you could also call this ginger ale. I made a low-alcohol soda like this from apple juice, and the carbonation tasted so natural and easy to drink, not like modern soda.
My own unwritten rule, you MUST drink ginger beer with a couple of slices of lemon and ice cubes.
The difference in taste is amazing.
I think you've just written that rule? Lol
@@bluesloverdelux5010 - oh yeah it's definitely own rule, but if I had my way I would make it law to put a slice of lemon in a ginger beer 👍
Thanks for the tip. If I get around to making this, I will definitely try that. It sounds extra refreshing 😉👍 💞
I just squeeze a bit of lime in mine and I'm mindblown😂😂... only use it with store bought ginger beer tho
Love it!
I'm on my second batch using your recipe. This time I'm going to add vanilla because that's what my dad used to do. First batch with lemon came out great. Better than the store version. Thank you!!!!
You crazy rebel. I love it. Let me know how it comes out!
@@zerowastecalifornia does the ginger beer contain alcohol?
@@Wolf-xu1fj a very small amount around 2-5% but not enough to make you drunk(the longer you ferment the ginger bug the more alcohol level it has)
Has anyone tried to add cucumber? I like them fresh in mix, like a lemonade, but how would turn out fermented is question.
Thanks for sharing this recipe, I'll make my own wine 🍷
Takes a few days but honestly a lot more simple than I thought it would be.
HINT: Place a bent over twist tie over the bottle edge then put the funnel in to the top of bottle so not to have bubbles gulping and end up over pouring. Some funnels have a built in line on the funnel spout to help with this issue.
My kind of lady! Well done and cheers on with what you’re doing.
Great, thanks for sharing the process! I love ginger beer.
Also, I had a laugh when you said "lockdown for seven days". Here we are, almost a year later...
Haha right? 2 Years later...... :S
@@zerowastecalifornia2023, and still dealing with the societal effects of the lockdowns...
Nicely done. I've not used a ginger bug myself, but now I am a bit inspired to do so and revisit my own recipe.
Just sampled our second batch - - added 1 cup of strawberry puree for extra flavor, came out amazing! Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice. I’m going to make this today. I’ve done a series of fermentation projects during this lockdown : Apple cider, rye whiskey and a Hefeweizen so far. This is my new skill. Looking forward to tasting the results.
Just finished it! Came out BETTER than the stuff I get at whole foods. So much cheaper this way. Thank you!!!
YES!!!!
I have a new thing now.you have no idea how grateful I am.you a terrific human being.thank you.so much.
We recently started ginger farming and harvested over 7 tonnes of ginger....gonna make thisss 😍
Cabin fever after only 7 days?😆 A year later...if only we knew then what we know now.💛
That its basically the flu? 💁♂️
@@unsane78 Yes, brand new packaging, but still the same bug you've never panicked over before.🤷🏼♀️
@@spicencens7725 💯
We were locked down for 6 months!
@@unsane78 I'm guessing you guys haven't had people close to you die of it. Once you experience that everything just becomes real. I underestimated it before too.
Beautiful, and the beer too. This is like a dream come true, making my own beer at home, thanks.
I gotchu!
Thanks for the advice you giving,
Super!
I would just love to say Cheers with you....
You made my day!! Love ginger beer.
Ha ha so cute when you say "it's like a pet you can drink" 😂
The sound at the end is satisfying
Love 🖤
I will def try this on friday ! Thank you
“Its kinda like having a pet. That you can drink!... aaannd not feel guilty about.” 😂
favorite part hahaha
@LagiNaLangAko23 dont inject ginger beer - bob lob law
Hahaha
I Love thos woman😂
😂😂😂
this is the only recipe i am going to use from now on, so much easier than the one i used before. and I REUSE. plastic soda bottle thank you!!
So in other words it works just as well with plastic bottles as it does with glass bottles then, yes? Also, do you have to drink them all up in a matter of days after you've finished making them, like she said. Or can you store them over time?
great information and sense of humor
Thank you for going straight into the recipe
It's more easy than i thought. Cheers
I tried this, and it was amazing. Not much alcoholic beverage but still 2 pints can give a nice buzz.
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes it's very low alcohol but it's so refreshing! Thank you for commenting 💕
@@zerowastecalifornia adding yeast will increase its alcohol level?
@@simpleynaren2833 letting it ferment before bottling will make it stronger. Watch actual beer brewing videos. It's usually 2 weeks ferment then two weeks bottle condition with a small amout of sugar to carbonate. With only one week of fermenting in bottles like this video, alcohol content is extremely low.
Great. It's so good for health in winter
WOW! Super no-nonsense video! Cheers!
Absolutely amazing content, you deserve more views
Here in India we have been in complete lock down since last 45 days. No beer no nothing, thank u for sharing the preparation method
Islam me peete nahi na bhaijaan
Let m know how it came out to be once you make it
This won't be alcoholic unless you substitute the ginger bug for bread yeast
@@livemakenfo aise piyo ki na khud ka na kisi aur ka nuksan ho. be a nice human being doesnt matter what religion you belong to..
@@jenslyn42 thanks for the info
This recipe worked SO WELL!!!! Thank you! Great editing too.
Wow I love ginger beer so much, Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤
Any woman who can belch unashamed in my book is a keeper. Good job.
Lock down in Kenya as well. Stumbled on your channel. I'm going to try this.
Curious how it turned out! Tupe update.
Stay safe, friend
@@zerowastecalifornia hey just wanna ask, what if I keep the bottle for 2 weeks for carbonation? Does it get more intense the longer I keep? Cuz I want a really really really strong one.
Wewe kunywa keg ama muratina
thanks a lot for making ginger beer,i shall try to make it next week,madame.
Thanks for the recipe I am going to make this.
This is great! For those who want to try it the first time be very careful not to build up excessive pressure during carbonation it can really explode. I experienced it happened in my kitchen, bottle exploded by itself like a bomb Luckily it exploded at time when nobody in the area. Thanks for showing the way to avoid overpressure in the bottle.
Gotta play it safe!
If you want some dos and donts I made a video trying to make sure everyone stays safe :) ruclips.net/video/is9y2qkoOoI/видео.html
just use airlock n bottle after ferment end
Will totally make this, coz I looooove ginger beer..!! 🌿🌿🌿
Thank you! I’m going to give this a try! ❤
I will definitely try it. Thanx for the recipe❤
Cheers🍻
Bahi bnakr dekhe kya aap?
@@kamalsharma-pl9hu tum logo se bn jaye to hame bhi batana 😂
Never heard of ginger beer before. Cool, will definitely try it out
Mostly in West Indies it's a very good drink especially on hot days ginger is good for you but it's hot but really really good cold or over ice
Best drink ever!!!👍
I remember hearing people talk about this beverage being popular at the St Patrick's Day celebration in Birmingham, Alabama. Back in the day.
This was so appetizing to watch. Thanks.
Love how, even after you burp the bottles every 24 hours, there is still enough carbonation for a good belch! Thank You!!!!
hahaha that's quality carbonation right there!
@@zerowastecalifornia will it work with plastic bottles ?...
@@leeholzmann1023 no. they cant handle the pressure
@@leeholzmann1023 you can use sealable plastic bottles but you still need to release the gas pressure so they don't burst
@@leeholzmann1023 yes, it works with plastic bottles too. And you can have an idea how carbonated are by trying to squeeze it, when it's ready the bottle will get hard to squeeze meaning it's very carbonated
Thanks for the great video. Randomly selected yours from the search I did and great to see someone else from San Jose.
SJ represent!!!!! I am wondering if anyone noticed one of those shots is the door of the Pink Poodle. Heh heh heh heh
@@zerowastecalifornia I did!! Memories...
Let's drink
Parents Bob knight ?
This is so wonderful!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Lol “slap in the face and a how do you do!”
Heck if you can't socialize might as well get a good buzz right! Which reminds me time to have one of my home brew beers....lol.
Hello friend look your drinks was nice. Thanks you for sharing your recipes.
4:41 When I lived Australia this was a tended to happen often - exploding ginger beer bottles! LOL
When you're made a lot do not store the bottles together, as if you do, one exploding bottle can trigger others to explode, and you can lose the lot mate!
Finishing up the final stages of my first batch. My ginger bug is hanging out in my pantry. I named it Alice. She’s bubbly :P
Just tried ours for the first time yesterday. Came out so good! The whole family was involved so it was very exciting lol
*We love ginger beer so thank you so much for sharing the recipe for the home brew*
🧁

I really love you recipe very easy way to make that, thank you so much for showing us ❤️
That burp! 😁 Made me chuckle. Great job with the ginger beer video.
Thank you I love this ❤️
thank so much for posting this it reminds me when i was a child and my parents made ginger beer. they called the ginger in the jar a plant not a bug (ps) there was bottles exploding everywhere and the ginger beer was good
We called it a plant too. Bug is American.
Thank you for recepie ! From Roumania ,whit respect ,🤗 !
Awesome easyway of doing.
Thank you for the shortcut recipe🙌
Btw, your smile/burp at the end was a pretty nice nuance 😉
Hahaha thank you!
Lol I also enjoyed it
Going to make this today... can’t wait! And love your Japanese Chin at the end... I have two of them
Better get checked out Bob you should only have one chin.
I have two, too!!! They're like potato chips. You can't have just one! What are your's named??
@@thunderolightning6607 oh crap. I also have double chins 😰
Zero Waste TV Mishu and Leah
Zero Waste TV by the way my ginger bug isn’t fizzing so I’ll have to get organic and start over
This is awesome!
Wow super easy n cool idea
I'm watching this while sipping a Moscow Mule, thinking "oh so I don't have to buy ginger beer for these anymore? Sweet!"
Cheers to that!!
@@zerowastecalifornia please reply to my comment downwards as soon as possible, because i need some help
I just love your handle. Always wash roots. if they are storebought they nave garbage on them, even organics. If they are from your garden I hope you don't think dirt will help your fermentation.

Might help in this lockdown,,,,, period 🤣
OMG I can't believe I watched this video over and over again🤣🤣🤣I found your voice is somehow soothing and cute.
I make ginger beer following your recipe started just today. Can't wait for the result. It's started raining daily in my country, I'm gonna need ginger drink to warm my body.
Thank you. Greetings from Indonesia♥️♥️♥️
Great 👌 this is the best recipe I see sure to try
When adding lemon juice add one teble spoon of honey it's give awesome test, aroma and colour to beer! Cheers..😀👍🍻🍺

Great love. Thanks.
Thanks a lot which needs me most due time. Greetings from 🇲🇳
Great. Hope by the time the beer was ready, the lockdown got over ;)
Flavors so intense like slap in the face and how do you do 😄😄😄😄😄
I love ginger beer, I buy it it at Trader Joes but of course I'll be trying this because ill be able to control the amount of sugar in the recipe. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for the recipe.😘👍
Try adding some cinnamon or dry rose petals, flvrd tea, etc for that extra flvr
Ooooh that sounds divine!
is it tho?
... its called "ginger beer" for a reason
The ginger beer I bought has black pepper and chili peppers it's nice and spicy. All those sound great
thIs came out great!!!
almond joy did u actually made it..??
Did you get drunk
Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome
Thank you so much for these amazing hints, just a question. Should we leave it to ferment a bit more after mixing the ginger bug to the whole thing or do we bottle them straight away and let the fermentation be done in the bottle for a week.
Some places I read that we should be allowing it to ferment for a week and then bottle.
Which one is the best way?
Thank you.
I like to leave the bottles at room temperature for about 3 days. I haven't tried a week! The flavors develop the longer it sits at room temperature and then once you pop it in the fridge, it slows down the fermentation process. I bet it will be super duper gingery after a week at room temp.
This is how they made the good ale of the ancient times.
@The Truth about Africa hurts Yes it is. If you've heard of (not ginger specifically) ale, that's what the Saxons and the Vikings drank before.
@The Truth about Africa hurts I mean it is how they made it. Not specifically that drank ginger ale. What I meant is how they made it. Most ales before was made from barley and other plants. The procedure of making it is almost the same, also adding some yeast to it. That procedure has already been there and even my grandparents and my friends when I was a kid knows the procedure.
@The Truth about Africa hurts I make coconut wine with a similar procedure like this too.
Wawooo
People who didn't watch this video till very last second, has missed the biggest and most important advantage of this homemade ginger beer recipe🤭😂
Thank you for sharing
hi! was curious if i’m capping glass bottles will i need to burp and recap every day? or is there a way to stop a regular 12 oz longneck that i can still burp it? thanks so much! looking forward to trying it!
You can sling it in the fridge to stop the fermentation process. Should* stop explosions. Otherwise you do a traditional fermentation and wait for it to finish fermenting in a vessel then add carbonation drops to the bottles before bottling. Wait a few weeks for it to get good in the bottles then drink away
You can try to pasterize your bottles to stop the fermentation. If you're not sure if your ginger beer is bubbly enough (and can't burb your bottles) you can add a couple of raisins in the bottles before capping. You know it's ready when the raisins are floating
