Method

6 steps

Mix

Clean and sanitise. Clean and sanitise your fermenter, lid, airlock, tap, spoon and hydrometer.
Dissolve. Shake the pouch well. Add 2 litres of hot (not boiling) water to a clean, sanitised container that holds more than 20 litres. Pour in the Morgan's Ginger Beer and 115 g of white sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
Top up to 20 litres. Add cold water to the 20 litre mark, stirring while you fill.
Add the yeast. Stir in the yeast and nutrient supplied with the pouch thoroughly. Cover and let it stand for half an hour, stirring now and then.

Tip: Add only 115 g of sugar. Any more and the bottles can over-gas and burst.

Bottle

Fill and seal. Stir the brew again, then fill clean, sanitised bottles to the normal level and seal. Don't add any sugar or carbonation drops to the bottles.
Condition and enjoy. Store the bottles above 20 °C for 2–3 weeks before opening, then chill and serve.

Make it your own

Everyone brews a little differently, and that's half the fun. Use this recipe as a starting point, then adjust it to suit your taste: a little more or less sugar for strength, some fresh ginger or citrus for zing, or a warmer or cooler ferment.

Serve it over ice with fresh mint and a wedge of lime. Write down what you changed so your next batch turns out just the way you like it.

Safety information

This ginger beer gets its fizz in the bottle, so use PET bottles and squeeze them to check the gas level. Never add more sugar or carbonation drops than the recipe says, store bottles where a failure can't hurt anyone, and chill them once they're firm.
