I had no idea that Derica was a school teacher. But I can believe it! I’m militant about my science note taking too. I was an intelligence analyst in the military, a process control tech when working in semiconductor manufacturing and a full blown nerd in my intellectual pursuits—like home fermentation. Y’all crack me up and I dig it thoroughly! You’re educators and we’re students and I’m grooving on it big time!

Hey Guys! My comment doesnt relate to this video, but I just wanted to thank you for all these videos you guys do, because of these vids I had the confidence try to brew my first apple cider and it was finished about a week ago, I have expereinted with it finishing it 4 differnt ways like you did in a video and the carbonated+sweet was the favorite it my family😊 And I just started my first mead today, I am really excited about that too, so I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to a new hobby!😀
-
This is one of the most interesting brews you have put together yet. I think this is the first time Derica has mentioned that she was a school teacher. She must have been one of the coolest teachers ever.
-
When making lemonade, i like to make an olio sacrum first with the lemon peels and sugar. I might try that in my next batch of ginger beer!
-
Just wanted to pop on and say that I came to you channel initially from the 2018 Ginger Beer recipe so this video was a sort of homecoming for me. Cheers to the many years of great content and keep up the good work.
-
Grate the lemon peel with a zester so you don't get so much of the white part in the mix. The white bits adds bitterness for sure.
-
Yes!!! The old one is one of my most repeated brews! I can't wait for this one!
-
I use the same fermenter you guys do - I have a backup plan in place in case it stops sealing. I have a silicone baking mat on standby. In the event one of my LBMB's stops sealing, I will, with the aid of a compass and xacto knife, cut a gasket for the lid that can restore the ability to seal. Hope that helps, guys.
-
You guys are great - I just got a hold of your channel whilst making my first batch of mead and you were a great help! You explain things really well and are fun to watch. ...now I want to make a ginger beer too 😂
-
Thanks for doing the PH reading and your related comment. So much to learn but you are helping so much in the process.
-
You guys are great! This is just what I was thinking to research and try to make. Perfect timing!
-
Well THIS is good timing... I had already planned on making a fresh batch of ginger beer today as it was, and here you are with a new recipe and everything! I've had some issues with ginger beer carbonating in the past so last time I made a batch - and I'll prob do the same thing today as well - I used EC118 for the yeast, even though SO4 is my go-to for anything under 10% and it worked out well... clean flavour and nice and bubbly.
-
I am soooo excited for this!
-
thanks guys. It is going to be super helpful to have this for a reference when I start my first ginger beer.
-
Your channel has gotten me into the hobby of brewing! Thankyou for your time and experience sharing!
-
I love you guys. Thanks for all your sharing of skills.❤️
-
I just wanted to say thank you to you both. You demystify and make home brewing so approachable, you cut out the bs and emphasize what's is really important for success. This video got me to start my first ginger beer batch! The only thing I changed from your recipe was adding some blood orange to the party. I am 6 days in on the ferment and it is going strong, I find myself regularly huffing the airlock, it smells amazing!😊 Thanks again for inspiring me to jump in!
-
Thanks for all the great content guys. Been watching for awhile, finally subscribed.
-
Great job guys I love making ginger and lime wine. I have to say that the ginger spice will go down with time
-
I love ginger beer.... always good to see an updated method.
