    I saw your ginger growing video and then moved over to watch you make the beer. Pretty awesome! During lockdown we weren't allowed to buy alcohol in South Africa and I started on my "wine/mead making" journey with different fruit juices, 25lt at a time. Mine I did get up to 12% but I would drink it with soda like a spritzer. Even made some mampoer / moonshine from it. What I actually wanted to say was, if you store that ginger beer or for 3-6 months on a shelf the flavor changes so much and it becomes clear. Save some next time and try it out.

    Hey Hoocho! if you want that spice in your ginger beer to come from the Ginger, you need to dehydrate it. cooking ginger breaks decomposes the Gingerol into zingerone, which is sweeter. if you dehydrate ginger it becomes shogaols. these are alcohol soluble~ ginger beer, vodka steeped with dehydrated ginger, and lime!

    "What do you want to see me make?" Careful what you wish for! Since you live in a hot climate for instance, it would be cool to see you work with kveik (the type of yeast), that thrive when fermenting at up to 42c. And kveik will throw most esters when fermented hot. Voss Kveik for instance will produce orange-y and lemon-y esters that would be perfect in a ginger beer. I'm currently fermenting an apple wine in that temperature range by using a sous-vide and water-bath around the fermenter, since I live in a cold climate. Works well! Also, Australia has loads of interesting honey varietals that would produce distinct meads. From a beer perspective, would be cool to see you make a hopped hydromel (low-alcohol mead) or a braggot (mead/beer). Great video btw. Would love to see any kind of fermentation on this channel!

    found this in passing and now I am staying... great project. one thing a few people suggested honey and maple syrup as alternatives to white sugar... the thing is health wise honey is no better than sugar in terms of health (it is just sugar with additional flavors.) and Maple syrup is more unsustainable than Australian sugar -because it takes so much energy to produce; I live in Vermont and make maple syrup part of the year (40L of sap =1L of syrup) and it has to be transported from either Vermont , Quebec or upstate NY in the USA, to Australia... and of course IT IS JUST sugar as well. it is 100% not healthier than brown sugar or honey... anyways your channels are awesome. thank you for the great work

    Fun fact, there's still yeast in that keg, it will restart fermentation in the keg, just slowly because it's so cold, it will become more alcoholic and dryer the longer it's left in the keg... assuming it lasts long enough. If you want to actually halt the fermentation you need to add a little potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfite to stabilise the ginger beer, the 2 ingredients are needed in cider and wine.
    N.B. as this stops yeast breeding further you will not be able to bottle condition using this method.

    im so sorry to put you back into a spiral but, i found a ginger beer that uses tumeric and another that uses ginseng.
    there, put simply, are a lot of ginger plants out there as well.
    So uh, for convenience of others....
    here are some ginger plants
    Myoga: A ginger with edible shoots and roots
    Butterfly ginger: A ginger with edible flowers
    Zedoary: A ginger with spicy shoots, leaves, flower spikes, and roots
    Old ginger: A ginger with a robust, spicy flavor that's good for soups and stir-fries
    Bitter ginger: Also known as Zingiber zerumbet, pinecone ginger, pinecone lily, and shampoo ginger
    Fingerroot: Also known as Boesenbergia rotunda
    Galangal: A flavorful ginger plant
    Turmeric: A flavorful ginger plant
    these are the more popular plants,
    next is more consideration, there are plants with similar taste profiles (they are not gingers)
    Asarum canadense: Also known as "wild ginger", but it's not actually related to true ginger. It contains aristolochic acid, which can cause kidney damage and certain types of cancers.
    Magnolia flowers: Some say these flowers taste like ginger and cardamom.
    sourced from quick web results/previous and current spiral from my cooking journey
    edit: all these tools and no herb grinder or a mortar? a hammer...and you dont need the herb ball, really, not unless you plan on removing them (to avoid tannins, which are bitter and not present in ginger) the yest isnt needed, there is natural yeast, people add yeast for more drunky drunk, but, you can achieve the same thing by providing the natural yeast with extra sugar and warmer temperature (warmer. not hot.) and maybe a little more patience
    you can also add dried ginger or ginger powder, the flavor profile changes when dried and provides a spicier kick to your drink
    lastly, if you can evaporate some of the water or distill the ginger brew to get a stronger product, without over cooking the ginger (destroying those good flavor compounds) you should be able to get an even better drink

    How about adding a small amount of tumeric and lemongrass and substitute 10% of the ginger for galangal (something else to grow). Galangal, tumeric and, to some extent, ginger have some pretty awesome potential health benefits that could help with the after effects of drinking at bit too much of the GG juice.

    next time around you should try adding sugar in the middle of fermentation, it'll blend the flavors more naturally. backsweetening makes the ferment taste overly saccharine and unmixed at the end, and adding too much sugar from the jump makes it too alcoholic as you've found.

      exact same minus the yeast and the sugars you will be adding are to taste, (@26:36 for a general idea) if you don't mind a little bit of alcohol content (Think kombucha) look into ginger bugs and only ferment for 3 days. keep the brew cold after this as it will naturally ferment if its not cold.

    Ginger + turmeric beer. I've been having more success with growing turmeric than with ginger lately, so want to use that some more.
    Also, get bees, make mead. I made mead with a friend recently and waiting on maturation.
    btw, love the Aussie style. Feels like home. Don't Americanize your style to suit a "wider" audience.
