  • Hi everyone! Welcome to our channel and thanks for stopping by to learn about making homemade fermented ginger ale! 😋🥰If you're wondering about how to make your own ginger bug, which is the starter culture you'll need to make this delicious ginger ale (or also called ginger beer), then you'll want to check out this video -----> https://youtu.be/wtb1BvRUWmI 😄 And if you haven't already, we'd love for you to subscribe! Happy fermenting
  • We used to make this all the time when I was younger. Eventually, we came up with the rule that you had to open these outside. Some of the bottles, when pressurized would shoot ginger ale several feet when opened. I remember once, I opened one in the kitchen that had been sitting in the fridge too long. It shot up and hit the ceiling. Panicking, I put my hand over the top and it shot out in every direction. It was a sticky mess! That's when we came up with that rule. If you do it outside, then if it explodes out, then you lose some ginger ale, but you don't have to worry about cleaning your entire kitchen.

    I really appreciate how you didn't have any music in the background. Your ginger ale looks amazing!.
  • I think i watched this video more than 10 times while waiting on my bug to grow 🤣 I’m so excited I’m going to explode
  • @fishon1073
    This recipe is the BOMB!!. Family wants me to make more. Have the ginger bug and ready to make more. Thank you for a awesome recipe. I actually used 2 liter plastic bottles instead of glass beer bottles and it work perfect. Felt the tension on the 2 liter plastic bottles and then refrigerated. Worked perfect and bigger bottles for a large family. Will never go back to store bought ginger aie.

    I've seen more than 25 videos on how to make ginger beer/bug/soda and yours are the most didactic and well explained. Thank you!
  • This is one of the most detailed Ginger Ale making video with proper step by step information.
  • WOW. This is the best video on homemade ginger beer/ale that I've seen. It's thorough as a "how to", not boringly technical, and it's so enjoyable to watch start to finish. I love the tester bottle idea and the option of adding lemon juice. Thanks for talking it through step by step. Greetings from the East Texas Piney Woods 🤠🖐️👍❤️

    You guys rock! I was just having a glass of ginger ale today and thought to myself “I wonder if I could make a better version” and turns out I can thanks to your guys’ help. Subscribed and eager to learn much more about fermentation :)

    I am totally LOVING your channel! Ginger beer is a favorite of mine. I’m excited to make my own healthy ginger beer! Thanks!
  • @rgrea2
    Wow just what I was looking for. Thanks for the easy presentation and easy to follow. I'll be making my bug this afternoon. And will make some soda when it's done
  • I just had to let you know that I made ginger ale, but with a twist. First, using a centrifugal juicer, I juiced up enough fresh ginger root to make 1 full cup of pure ginger juice and poured it into a 1 gallon fermenting container. Then using a hand citrus juicer and juiced enough clementine oranges to make 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice and added that to the ginger juice in the fermenting container, along with 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (I did not have any lemons) and 2 cups of white cane sugar and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar and 1 cup of ginger bug. It took all of 3 days to ferment. I must say, that was the best tasting ginger ale I ever had, especially when I added a couple of ice cubes to the glass.
  • Very good guys, I love it, I do my ginger bugs fermentation for healthy soda and is so good, knowing there are probiotics and the fact that is a healthy soda, giving you the same satisfaction of a regular and bubbly soda but healthy. 🥰👏
  • @fantailrain3570
    Thank you for such a comprehensive video, you two are awesome and explained everything sooo well. I love ginger beer and definitely will do this😊
  • @michaelbarker32
    You two are great! I love this video. I like how you explain everything so clearly and cover all the fine details. I'm a fan. Thanks for the tips! I've been making kombucha for about 6 months in Da Nang, Vietnam. I've been experimenting with different kinds of tea and have gotten real good at kegging it. I've been wanting to make ginger ale and because of your videos, I'm about to go to the market to get some ginger for my first ginger bug. 😁 Thanks again. ✌
  • I'm so excited to try this! This is right up my alley and I'm so grateful I found your channel, thank you!
