Product Information

You must be very careful when opening the bottles because the beverage will still be very carbonated. Always point glass bottles away from your face or anyone else’s face while opening.

Studies show fresh ginger prevents and fights several types of cancer cells including breast, colon, ovarian, prostate, and lung cancer. Pour this strain mixture into a clean 2-liter plastic bottle. Empty soda water bottles work perfectly, and you can also use 2 one-liter bottles. Do not fill up the bottles all the way because the fermentation will yield carbon dioxide. All it takes is fresh grated organic ginger, cream of tartar , lemon juice, active dry yeast , and cold water. After your brew has finished fermenting, you can either add fruit, simple syrup, juice, or liquor to it to create a customized treat, or drink it as is. When fermented, ginger releases enzymes and probiotics, which help maintain healthy gut microflora.

Good to know

You can replace the lemon juice with lime juice if you’d like. I always go with organic fresh ginger root because it contains plenty of natural bacteria and natural yeasts for the best ginger beer. Regatta was also tied for first, but only because this was my favorite when dealing with major pregnancy nausea and vomiting. The ginger beer flavor is light but not overpowering. It's sweet, but not too sweet. Just overall very easy drinking without any burn from ginger. You can either store it in the same plastic bottle you used to brew it, or transfer it into glass flip cap bottles. I play it safe and store it in the same plastic bottle I use for fermentation.

Sweeteners and preservatives: If you want a mostly natural ginger beer, options are available that contain no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Using a fine strainer, coffee filter, or a fine-mesh sieve, strain the liquid into a large pitcher to remove all the bits of ginger.

Based on its ability to lower inflammation, aid with digestion, and boost your body’s immune system, yes, ginger beer is good for you. Method #1: Most people make a simple syrup using ginger, sugar, and water, and then combine the simple syrup with soda water or seltzer water. Zevia uses stevia to sweeten this ginger beer and make it zero calories. I'm typically not a fan of zero calorie diet drinks as I think they taste so odd. And this was a perfect example of that. It's just so cloyingly sweet and that sweetness just doesn't leave your mouth. Perhaps if you're low carb or keto and this is your only option, go for it. But definitely not our favorite when it comes to overall taste. Another downside is there is no real ginger in this - just flavoring. Mixer: Some ginger beers are sold exclusively as mixers. These beers tend to be less sweet and more carbonated than ginger beers sold as spicy sodas .

How to make homemade ginger beer, including photos and a video! This simply recipe is lower in sugar than store-bought ginger beer, contains vitamins and probiotics, and is a healthier alternative to most carbonated drinks because it contains less sugar and no carbonated water.

Instead of wondering if I truly liked one ginger beer better than another, I decided to do a taste testing of some popular brands and compare notes. Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and place in a warm, dark part of your house for 3 hours. The mixture should smell gingery and yeasty!After 24 hours, you will notice yeast colonies on top of the liquid and settled at the bottom. This is normal! Imported: Some ginger beers are crafted in the U.S., while others are made in the UK and the Caribbean. The drink becomes very pressurized and fizzy, so skipping this step could result in a ginger beer bottle explosion. True story. The more natural ginger—meaning actual ginger root, not ginger flavoring—the better,” says dietitian Suzanne Dixon, RD. “You don't necessarily need a lot of natural ginger for health benefit, but if you're using the product ‘medicinally,' to soothe an upset stomach, for example, more natural ginger is better.”
