HOMEMADE GINGER BEER
With the weather warming up we thought it's time to get our ginger beer on the go. We've been growing our own ginger bug using wild yeasts for the last 4 years so it's always ready when we need it. We gave it 24hrs to liven up once out the fridge and added it to our ginger tea.
It's now bottled up in our 2L super cool growler flasks and now we just wait the 10 days needed for fermentation to complete. Alive and active, fuller in flavour and tastier than the store bought. With no artificial preservatives and packed with probiotics. We're 'gingerly' awaiting for our perfect, spicy, fizzy brew.
