OK
For VWC comps we decided we would add a ginger beer, so you could involve your children or grandchildren, and introduce them to the wonders of fermentation.
Martina posted a tutorial for a ginger beer which works extremely well at home, however, it needs toi be drunk very early as there is still residual sugar present, and if left any length of time, the bottles would likely become over-carbonated.
So I wanted to put together a ginger beer tutorial for one that could safely be sent in the post, and that had no danger of re-fermenting and causing exploding bottles. So will ferment to dry (using up all of the sugars) then prime to achieve the carbonation, adding artificial sweeteners if necessary.
I have run two batches side by side, one using wine yeast and one using bread yeast. I will try them bot dry, medium, and sweet and see what we have at the end.
Please post any questions regarding this tutorial in the general beer section
many thanks
