I'm an experienced beer and wine maker and I've decided to try to make some Ginger beer, the alcoholic kind. I've searched the internet for a good recipe and haven't been able to find anything that sounds like it would work well enough. When they all talk about using plastic bottles and releasing the pressure when you think the bottles need it, or before they actually explode, I quickly move on. I would much rather use the champagnoise method as we use for beer making. (secondary fermentation in the bottle)
So I'm trying to find somebody with experience in making Ginger beer as well as looking for a proper recipe. If there is anyone experienced in that on this forum then they will know about the "Ginger Beer Plant." It seems that some people are saying that the plant has to be handed down from a growing plant while others talk about starting your own. ??
To just jump into starting the plant with one of the recipes on the internet seems pretty risky to me, considering that most of them I've found have also talked about loosening the caps on the bottles, etc. as I've mentioned above. Not too sophisticated to say the least!
So, can anyone here help me out with this?
