Hi everyone,

I am new to the GBP world. I recently had it shipped to australia so i could start making my own ginger beer.

The question i have is, after removing thr bug and bottling the brew, how much carbonation should i expect? Should it be as "fizzy" as a coke or s lemonade or is it far less then that?

Also what hsve you sll found is the best solution to removing the juice from fresh ginger?

TIA
Ben

With ginger beer, how fizzy it is varies greatly. My gbp tends to be more fizzy than my water kefir even when fed similar recipes. Occasionally I will get a ridiculously fizzy ginger beer right after its done brewing. But usually its very mild. Less than a coke I would say. But then I will let it sit in the fridge for a few days and that's when the real magic begins. It will get much more fizzy from that or if I do a 2nd ferment. Add a little ginger or grape juice and then store it. It should become really fizzy, maybe enough to blow up your fridge, lol.
