Method:
- Bring 5L of clean potable water to boil. Note: If you have a large single vessel brewery system or boiler / urn you can start with 20L of clean potable drinking or reverse osmosis water.
-
Add 2 Kg DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE | BREWING SUGAR and simmer for a few minutes.
- Gently stir with a clean sterile spoon and top up with clean fresh sterile drinking water. If you have a sophisticated brew set up with cooling you can start the process with a full 20 litres of strike water (Step 1).
- Check temperature: should be between 20-25 °C (68-77 °F) and pitch the 25g sachet of Mangrove Jack's Hard Seltzer Yeast & Nutrient directly to approx. 20L fermentation volume, stir well and leave to ferment for 5-7 at between 20-25 °C (68-77 °F) for optimum results.
- Check for two days of consistent low final gravity readings before proceeding to bottling or kegging.
- After 10 days, cool to near-freezing to drop out as much yeast you can. Transfer the clear finished beer into an empty corny keg and add the Buderim Ginger Beer Compound.
- Bottling: if you want to bottle your Hard Ginger Beer you can prime with 1/2 tsp sugar per small bottle and 1 tsp per tall bottle (quart / 750mL). Leave for 1-2 weeks check carbonation then store cold preferably in the fridge.
- This ginger beer likes to be well carbonated — try 2.4-2.7 volumes of C02 — and will stay good for quite a while in a kegerator.
