Yum! I first made ginger beer about 3.5yrs ago and made a few batches, but didn't continue.
So after watching River Cottage Every Day last week, I decided to get all my gear out, sterilise it all, and make up a batch with the kids after school. We set the bucket in the laundry for a few days to do its thing before bottling it up.

Within 2 days, the bottles were firm enough, indicating that it was ready (I kept the box of bottles next to the fire in our lounge to give them enough warmth). We popped them in the fridge, which stops the yeast action, and enjoyed! The kids weren't too keen on this batch, but Simon and I liked it.

Your ginger beer looks great. I've made 2 batches of apple cider so far this year so when I've emptied a few bottles I might have a go at ginger beer. I love having homemade drinks stashed in the pantry!
