You can make fermented juices out of any fruit that has a white ‘dust’ coating on its peel that can be scrubbed off. Best examples are grapes, plums, quince etc. apples, pineapples and watermelon work fine too.
Just do the same process as when making wine - rinse off dirt without rubbing too much, crush things up (bean sized is good because smaller will be harder to strain), add water and some sugar if needed (should be watery and a bit too sweet). Don’t use too hot water. Keep the mixture warm (summer’s room temp is perfect, but it works as long as it’s over 15Celcius. Less than that and it will sour or mold before fermenting). Strain all solids when you see strong signs of fermentation like bubbling. Let it ferment for a while ( how long depends on temperature, sugar concentration and fermenting vessel used), and bottle it after it has almost stopped fermenting and there’s only some sweetness to it. Drink as is, or let ferment for a day or two outside of the fridge, then move to fridge for a week. The second method will leave you with sparkling fermented juice.

Just a note to anyone wanting to make this: the carbonation will continually build pressure in the bottle and *could cause it to explode.*

Use a high quality bottle/container and burp it often (open slightly to release pressure)

Just bottled my ginger beer yesterday after 3 failed attempts of getting my ginger bug going. 🎉

How do you stop it from becoming alcoholic?

[nguyenduythang]

idk if this gonna be fermenting too fast like apple, pear and

i only have to leave it for a few days and well the alcohol volume is kinda too high already, pretty much around 20-30%, can feel the heat with one sip

I want coke though not ginger. How do? And without fermentation.

Anyway to make a fermented soda or something similar that is 0% not .5% or anything like that, sorry if this is a silly question

[sellelpoc]

I just use 1/4tsp Yeast 2 oz Ginger and like a cup or two of sugar, ,, wonder if this is bad for my gut??

[ApinofArc]

Eh, I'll just stick to co2 cannister and homemade syrups. Far less effort 😅

[MAZANI_USA]

How is that healthy with all that sugar

[rainaroseling]

So since we need to wait days for it to fizz, you actually can't make soda in 60 seconds using this method.

In the receipt there was only ginger, sugar and water… where’s the yeast?

[jasonmoore]

So you’re saying to make ginger beer add other carbonated soda to your ginger bug? Why can’t you carbonate it yourself?

[Beelzebub]

Maybe healthier but definitely NOT better tasting ginger beer 🤢
