We made a 14% ABV ginger beer on 04/29 and let it ferment for exactly 2 months. We spiced it with cinnamon, allspice berries, cloves, peppercorns, and a habanero. Turned out amazing.

Thanks Trent for this video! After numerous attempts in the past, I followed your recipe as closest possible and was successful, not to mention the best batch of Ginger beer I've ever tasted. Keep up the amazing work!

Try using turmeric instead of ginger for the bug and ginger for for the 2nd ferment. It adds a unique bottom yet maintaining the bright ginger tang.

Me for no freaking reason at 3.00 am watching this.

Very nicely done sir! Easy to follow, very explanatory and concise. Also well done on the editing!
-
A great new addition to all my other bugs, starters and mushrooms!
-
THANK YOU FOR A SIMPLE & EASY RECIPE!
-
Just finished my first batch of Ginger beer and WOW. So good. I changed your recipe up a bit and used honey instead of sugar. Its so good and it was insanely easy. My son and I are going to do a rootbeer with the ginger bug and then a blueberry soda with my daughter with it. Thanks for the great videos.

This has got to be the bomb! Imma try it! Currently I use ginger & a touch of jaggery in a 2nd kefir ferment. It's pretty good too!
-
I'm really learn a lot new thing about brewing from your videos, thank you and keep it up!
-
My Gran made this all the time, She had no "fancy" jars or bottles though, we are lucky now! Thank you so much for posting. I was not sure of quantities!! Delicious & so good for you.

Thanks for the recipe, it’s awesome. I do like mine stronger so I modified mine a little. 40 g of ginger before the simmering and extra 10g (50g total) just after the pot leaves the stovetop to slowly cool down(IPA dry hop style😂). I also add the juice from a small lemon or half a large one with the second batch. You get a whole range of ginger flavour, full yet citrusy and spicy. The store bought stuff doesn’t stand a chance.

Nice quick easy video,thanks for your efforts

Awesome video - you makes it seem so simple. I love ginger beer so definitely will try. I've already gone ahead and purchased 6 fermentation bottles at 500ml each = 3 litres. Dumb question but for the secondary process if I do 3 litres of water do I simply scale up? Also thanks for using the units of measurement that you use - makes it real simple. Thanks.
-
The production quality on your videos is incredible, even more so considering your number of (current) subs. You’re going to get big. Great quality content, thank you for sharing!

Nice You must have a good Christmas and a happy New Year. Cheers from Norway

Thanks for the recipe! Trying this out at the moment!👍

Thanks, a no nonsense, get to the point video. I am on to it. I had to buy some decent bottles so I bought 2 dozen Grolsch Pilsner beer. Same price for the bottles but got the beer thrown in. I am in Mexico and some items are hard to find.

I make sooooo may fermented foods and beverages and my brother just got me a ton of organic ginger. I love ginger ale so I am gonna make this indefinitely
