Description
Ginger beer fermentation involves yeast acting on ginger, sugar, and water to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Technical
The process involves the conversion of sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide through yeast enzymes, with ideal temperatures between 18°C and 20°C, and typically takes 2-3 days. Carbonation is a byproduct of fermentation, producing CO2 gas.
