- Place the cap on the bottle and shake it until the yeast is dissolved.
- Place the bottle in a shaded area at room temperature or in a pantry, away from direct sunlight for 48 hours.
- At this stage, the ginja beer is ready to drink and must be refrigerated to prevent further fermentation.
- CAUTION: during fermentation, be sure to open the bottle every day to release the excess gas, otherwise the bottle may explode.
- Serve with ice.
Notes
- As with any beer yeast drink, the fermentation process continues. Refrigeration slows down the process but does not stop it completely.
- Ginger beer is a perishable drink that must be consumed within 10 days.
- When the drink ferments, the sediment settles at the bottom of the bottle. The drink can be filtered before being consumed.
