Perfect! I try to avoid single use plastics as much as possible,but lately i foudn myself buying a ton of ginger ale bottles cause its my fav,so now i got a solution ✨️
From what I've read, monk fruit doesn't have any sugar at all so it won't activate the yeast. What you can do instead is make your ginger syrup with the sweetener, then use a Sodastream to insert the carbonation. You can also use seltzer water. I hope that helps.
As there is fermentation , what the difference with ginger beer ?? I mean i really don't want any alcohol . My bus has a ethylotest to start driving, it gets crazy if you just had a mouthwash that contains alcohol...
Ginger beer ferments longer than ginger ale....about 5 days to 2 weeks. You get a more intense ginger flavor, and more alcohol. Ginger ale ferments for only 2 days, so the alcohol content isn't as much. I made another version that's alcohol free: ruclips.net/video/ge6AKweJ-wA/видео.htmlsi=cgUoIPEqTgdIL8zo

I'm so sorry for the late response. I didn't get a notification of the message. It does fizzle like soda. Make sure that it sits out at room temperature for a few days so the yeast can react with the sugar to create carbonation. It tasted exactly like ginger ale to me.

I used regular bakers yeast for this video, but champagne yeast works best because it doesn't leave an aftertaste. Sorry again for the very late response. Thanks for watching :)
Wow! I’ll make this for sure! Err...how someone complain about the music 🙄 every phone has a volume button...thank you for this natural recipe! In a world of corn syrup we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do...
If you're wanting a caramel flavor then yes. If you want more carbonation, then white sugar may be your best bet. Or you can just make the syrup with brown sugar, then add fizzy water to your syrup.
@@HowDo-YouDo Finally got some time. Couldn't quite get it to carbonate, but other than that A+. Way better (and WAY cheaper!) than anything else I've found so far. So glad to have found this recipe! Wish me luck for batch 2, and thanks again!
I'd recommend that the bottle is tightly sealed, and that you store it in the refrigerator. If your ginger ale is at room temperature, then your yeast will constantly be creating CO2 which will cause your ale to become alcoholic and then eventually explode. Here's an article that goes into more detail: askinglot.com/how-long-does-homemade-ginger-beer-last
How about using maple syrup instead of sugar? Ginger Ale (soda) has 108 grams of sugar. Natural ingredients, minus adding sugar, would be more beneficial.
@@HowDo-YouDo Okay thanks for your explanation. I didnt knew the vocabulary for yeast. But now it makes sense why you squeeze out all the air. Many greetings from Germany :)
@@HowDo-YouDo Right now its good, the most students and pupil have holidays, so as me. It sucks that the most activities have been canceled or aren't opened. So i do a lot sitting at home, playing videogames or watching netflix. How about you? :)
@@NICK43000 it is a tough time right now. I encourage you to start trying out new things that you may be interested in. You may be able to make some money (and a living) out of it. Stay strong!
Yes it would and you'll be able to enjoy it quicker. I was just going for the least expensive way possible to make it. The nice thing about using yeast (preferably champagne yeast) is that if it loses its fizzines, you can take it out of the fridge for a couple days and you'll get more bubbles.
I’ve seen comments asking about alcohol content, and I’m unsure because I don’t want any alcohol, if I leave the yeast for 5 days, I will only get a tiny bit?
I would say 3 days would be best. That's when the yeast and sugar react and create carbonation. Very little alcohol is present. I'm not sure how much you get in 5 days, but I do know that within 2 weeks you'll get ginger beer. Hope that helps.
If I decide to leave it to ferment for 5 days or longer to get a higher alcohol content, do I squeeze the air out of it whenever it looks full to prevent it from exploding? Also what's the longest I can leave it to ferment for the highest possible alcohol content without being silly?
Yes you should squeeze some air out. I've heard of glass bottles exploding if you let it ferment that long. As for the longest time I'm unsure. You can taste it as you go. It will get less sweet since the yeast is reacting with the sugar. Hope that helps.
Wait a minute so the ginger ale I can buy is made with yeast and not with carbonated water directly? And if yes how do they make the ale a clearer liquid?
You can make it with carbonated water. If you want your ginger ale clearer, then you'll need to filter out the syrup with something finer. Also filtering out the yeast after carbonation works. The advantage of leaving the yeast in is that if you lose carbonation you can let the bottle sit out a day or so and it will re-carbonate.
It should. The heat may have something to do with it. It should be relatively cool so that the yeast doesn't overdo the fermentation process. You may have actual beer.
i saw other videos where people used glass bottles...they ssid yeast will react with plastic or iron(Steel) what do you think? how long we need to leave it out side to turn it into beer?
Glass is always the better option, but plastic will be fine as well. Just make sure not to use the same plastic bottle for months at a time. Leave it out for 1 to 2 weeks to make beer.
Hi As we know any process of fermentation produces a trace amount of alcohol ...and my question is: can we determine this percentage in this recipe? Another question What is the appropriate amount of ginger bug for liter of juice or water? Thank you
For the first question: I haven't calculated the percentages with this recipe, but here's a link to Quora.com which addresses it: www.quora.com/How-long-does-it-take-sugar-to-ferment-into-alcohol-when-mixed-with-yeast
For the second question: If you use approximately 60 to 70% of what I used then you should be able to get a good drink. My recipe makes about 1.77 liters. Hope that helps.
Only if you let it sit out for at least 5 days. You get some alcohol from the yeast reacting with the sugar, but it's a negligible amount after 3 days of sitting out.
Because of the reaction of the yeast and sugar (and fermenting for only 2 days) there will be a small amount of alcohol in it. Not enough for your mind to be impaired. You'll need to ferment it for around a week or so for that to happen. Instead of fermenting you can make the syrup as shown, then add about a tablespoon or so to some carbonated water. Hope that helps.
It should be good for a few weeks in the fridge, but I don't think it will last that long. If you start to lose carbonation, then keep it out for a day or 2 and you'll get it back.
You can store it in the fridge for a couple weeks. If it loses fizziness, then let it sit out for a day or 2. If you store it outside too long, it will turn into ginger beer.
I'm having a problem with my ginger ale. I made this recipe the second time, the first time being perfect, no problems. It's a really good recipe. This second time, tastes absolutely delicious, but it has the rotten smell/iron smell of protein. Do you know how, #1, if there's a way to fix this, or #2 most importantly, how this could have happened? I followed the steps exactly, the only difference being I've used lemon juice instead of squeezing a lemon, but I did this the first time and it came out as flawlessly. I did it pretty much exactly, the only thing I can imagine being a problem was not cooking the ginger long enough in the sauce, but I'm not sure. Just want to know if there's probable cause to an iron/rotten meat smell. Thanks and cheers to this delicious recipe.
I'm wondering if you may have used a little too much yeast. Try a champagne yeast. It has less of an aftertaste/smell than regular yeast. Also did you use your pan to cook/fry anything right before making ginger ale? As of right now those are the only 2 things I can think of. Sorry about your troubles.
How Do You Do the pan was used to cook pasta sauce, yes, but the pan was washed and sanitized, and that was hours beforehand. It shouldn't have been that. Come to think of it, we don't have 1/8 tsp so I eyeballed the 1/4 tsp. However though, I could have sworn I put less than half because I'd rather have not enough yeast than too much. I'm not sure, multiple online sources point into directions but I'm just not sure if it could be one problem, or a combination, but I appreciate the timely response!
The yeast and sugar create carbon dioxide. The best part is that if it loses its fizziness, you can take it out of the fridge and it will come back in 2 days time.
A mason jar could work. The only thing is the opening is quite large, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you lose carbonation, just keep it out of the fridge for 24 more hours. You'll get more fermentation/carbonation that way. I hope that helps.
+El-Kadur Acosta I'm not sure what effect that would have on the flavor. I know that the yeast reacts with the sugar to create carbon dioxide (and some alcohol depending on how long you let it ferment) which is where you get your bubbles from. Also, if the ginger ale becomes flat, you can take it out of the fridge for a couple days and you will get more fizz because of the remaining yeast and sugar. I don't think that will happen with baking soda. I hope that helps.
I loved the video ,thanks. My only constructive criticism would be for you to not use that loud music in the background. It's very unpleasant for such a lovely video.
Thank you very much for enjoying and constructively criticizing. At the time I thought it was amazing. I've grown to appreciate a more mellow tone nowadays. Thanks for watching.
Yeast reacts with the sugar to create carbon dioxide, when it is in a warm environment, which makes it fizzy. The best part is that if it starts to go flat, you can take your ginger ale out of the fridge, leave it out for a day or two, and then it will get fizzy again.
Plz upoad barley ale complete recipe just like this one. And plz. Tell me did u try it urself. What was ur review. Plz repl must and tell the truth and thanks in advance. And is the yeast same used in bakery products??
Greetings Mr. Holmes. This video was made and filmed by me. I've done this a few times and it was very good each time. I used regular yeast with this video, but it gave a subtle aftertaste. If you use champagne yeast, then you will have a more pure flavor. Thanks for watching.
Since there is yeast and sugar creating the carbon dioxide, there will be a trace of alcohol. If you let it ferment for 5 days, then it'll be quite alcoholic.
Great question. You can but once it loses its carbonation, then it won't come back. If you use yeast and sugar, then you have a constant supply of carbonation...and it was cheaper than buying carbonated water.
Great question. The sediment is just the leftover yeast. The same is true of the "scum" on top. If it's somewhat milky looking, then it's remnants of the sugar and yeast reacting. You can filter it out with a cheese cloth if you don't like the look of it. I keep it in there in case the carbonation dies down. If that happens, then you can take the bottle out of the fridge and the "sediments" reacts again with the sugar to create more bubbles. I hope you found this helpful. Thanks for the feedback : )
The yeast and sugar produce a small amount of alcohol. For a non-alcoholic drink just neglect the yeast, and pour the syrup into a glass of carbonated water.

Refrigerate the beverage immediately after brewing will prevent the yeast fermentation. I believe 16C (61F) is cold enough.

Thank you so much.
how much alcohol will it have? the more yeast, the more alcohol i guess, and the more you hold it, the more %?
The longer it ferments, the more alcohol you will get. Give it 72 hours at most, and the alcohol will be very minimal.
how long do you recommend to keep it in a refrigirator?
It should be good for a few weeks in the fridge, but I don't think it will last that long. If you start to lose carbonation, then keep it out for a day or 2 and you'll get it back.
can i use baking powder instead of yeast
the yeast reacts with sugar to create bubbles. Instead of yeast, you can use seltzer water. Don't use as much regular water in that case.

The yeast and sugar create carbon dioxide. The best part is that if it loses its fizziness, you can take it out of the fridge and it will come back in 2 days time.

@@khrystannortiz my pleasure. Good luck!
Can you freeze the syrup without the yeast for later use?
Yes you can. Just make sure to add the yeast after thawing the syrup. The yeast reacts with sugar to create the bubbles.
is there anyway I can do this with no sugar or a more natural sugar?
You can use less sugar if you like. Just make sure you use enough sugar to react with the yeast. Thanks for watching : )
How Do You Do what is the yest for?
The yeast reacts with the sugar to create carbonation. I recommend using champagne yeast because it doesn't leave an aftertaste.
Can I replace active yeast with baking soda?
+El-Kadur Acosta I'm not sure what effect that would have on the flavor. I know that the yeast reacts with the sugar to create carbon dioxide (and some alcohol depending on how long you let it ferment) which is where you get your bubbles from. Also, if the ginger ale becomes flat, you can take it out of the fridge for a couple days and you will get more fizz because of the remaining yeast and sugar. I don't think that will happen with baking soda. I hope that helps.
Thanks!
I loved the video ,thanks.
My only constructive criticism would be for you to not use that loud music in the background. It's very unpleasant for such a lovely video.
Thank you very much for enjoying and constructively criticizing. At the time I thought it was amazing. I've grown to appreciate a more mellow tone nowadays. Thanks for watching.
Can I use champagne yeast too?
Definitely. it's actually better than regular yeast. it doesn't leave an aftertaste.
+How Do You Do thanks so much!
+Cadler Craft You're welcome, and thanks for watching :)
Whats the alcohol content of this?
It's quite negligible. If you let it ferment for more than 2 days, then it starts to increase.
@@HowDo-YouDo nice! I hope i can achieve thr 6.0% alcohol content
@@Fluxxx887 Good luck!
How strong is it (alcohol)
If you leave it out of the refrigerator for 2 days it won't be strong at all. If you want something stronger, then leave it out for a week or so.
Why yeast!
Yeast reacts with the sugar to create carbon dioxide, when it is in a warm environment, which makes it fizzy. The best part is that if it starts to go flat, you can take your ginger ale out of the fridge, leave it out for a day or two, and then it will get fizzy again.
@@HowDo-YouDo Thank you
@@SHARONMKARYE You're welcome. I hope it turns out well for you.
Also if possible can you make a video on how to make dalgona coffee?
Actually, that is coming out this Friday!
I’m very excited to watch! Thank you 🙌🏿

im glad mcd make this
McDonald's makes ginger ale?
what is TSP? Sorry I 'm from Brazil.
Not a problem...TSP stands for teaspoon and TBSP stands for tablespoon. Thanks for watching.
Plz upoad barley ale complete recipe just like this one. And plz. Tell me did u try it urself. What was ur review. Plz repl must and tell the truth and thanks in advance.
And is the yeast same used in bakery products??
Greetings Mr. Holmes. This video was made and filmed by me. I've done this a few times and it was very good each time. I used regular yeast with this video, but it gave a subtle aftertaste. If you use champagne yeast, then you will have a more pure flavor. Thanks for watching.
Thanku and thanks for the fast reply.
is this the alcoholic or non alcoholic version?
Since there is yeast and sugar creating the carbon dioxide, there will be a trace of alcohol. If you let it ferment for 5 days, then it'll be quite alcoholic.
So much sugar! I guess that's why it tastes so good!
It will turn to alcohol
@@luvwins641 good point...maybe THAT is why it tastes so good
Can't you just pour in carbonated water instead of normal water into the syrup?
Great question. You can but once it loses its carbonation, then it won't come back. If you use yeast and sugar, then you have a constant supply of carbonation...and it was cheaper than buying carbonated water.
How Do You Do yeah but who just lets carbonated water just sit and go flat...
Does it contain alcohol
If you let the yeast and sugar ferment for about 5 days, then you'll get some alcohol.
I made this. . . why am i getting a sediment on the bottom and a "scum" on top? Oh, I used local honey for the sugar.
Great question. The sediment is just the leftover yeast. The same is true of the "scum" on top. If it's somewhat milky looking, then it's remnants of the sugar and yeast reacting. You can filter it out with a cheese cloth if you don't like the look of it. I keep it in there in case the carbonation dies down. If that happens, then you can take the bottle out of the fridge and the "sediments" reacts again with the sugar to create more bubbles. I hope you found this helpful. Thanks for the feedback : )
I'm ok with it. . . just wanted to make sure things were going properly. . .thanks so much for the quick reply!
Wow. LOVED IT! Thanks. SUBBED!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
No uses plástico porque tu manipulación de la botella hace que pase su toxico a la bebida. Siempre cristal.
Thanks for the recommendation and safety tip. I'll use glass from now on.
@@HowDo-YouDo estupendo. Buen canal y buena actitud amigo 👏
@@Patricia4748-q3h thank you much!
Can I just add the syrup to the carbonated water from the store? Lol
You definitely can do that.
Nice video:)
thanks!
Be nice if list was easier ti follow and read.
Sorry about that.
is this recipe alcoholic?
If you let it sit out for a week it will be.
Is drink alcoholic ??
The yeast and sugar produce a small amount of alcohol. For a non-alcoholic drink just neglect the yeast, and pour the syrup into a glass of carbonated water.
HI! Why is there a need for the lemon and calamansi? :)
It helps with the flavor.
How Do You Do can lime be used in place
@@Entergalactic lime would work as well.
Is this alcoholic or is it safe for kids to drink?
It's safe for kids as long as it ferments for only 2 days. If it stays out of the fridge longer (a week or so), then you'll get an alcoholic drink.
ok thanks for responding so quickly
Yeast? Really?
Yeast reacts with sugar to create bubbles. You can use champagne yeast for a more "clean" flavor, or you can use seltzer water for the carbonation.
do i need to sanitize evrything before i use it?
I didn't sanitize any of my equipment, but I did wash them carefully. You can also use the sanitize setting of your dishwasher.
idk why jeff green got me here
He might really like ginger ale.
