Scirvened the Esquilax:
Actually, I have a small army of loyal minions who chew holes in the fermentation barrels at the Bundaberg bottling plant and then decant the beverage into convenient storage mediums. Cheap and effective


Aha! Busted!

I knew it. Your siphoning the stuff directly from the fermentation vats!

Mr. Mullah. I believe we now have proof that the Hare Horse Thingy
drinks alcohol!

Muwahahahahahahaha!

Ah! You have fallen into my trap! My loyal minions tap the barrels *before* the fermentation process produces alcohol and then use sophistimicated doo-whackies to test the brew to ensure that the alcohol content is 0%! You see? Ironic isn't it? A rabbit setting a trap for a human .

Saw my first bottle of the "Stuff" today. it was in the local grocery store. Ginger beer it said, though in "" near th ebottom, it said "Soda". I looked at the label, and it had ginger from africa and another country in it, along with honey. Interesting

Lamentably Final, marketing and packet information is not exactly the most truthful medium . Most of your run-of-the-mill GB is made from carbonated water, sugar, flavour, food acid, and colours. The *real* "Stuff" as you call it MUST contain yeast and be a properly brewed product *glares at Taw*. If it isn't brewed, then it ain't really GB; it's more like ginger ale which is not as much a beverage in its own right, but rather a mixer.

Busted twice over now. Give up bunny-pony, the jig is up.

*before* the fermentation process produces alcohol and then use sophistimicated doo-whackies to test the brew ....

The *real* "Stuff" as you call it MUST contain yeast and be a properly brewed product *glares at Taw*. If it isn't brewed, then it ain't really GB



From the Wiki:
"Brewing is the production of alcoholic beverages and alcohol fuel through fermentation. This is the method used in beer production, although the term can be used for other drinks such as sake, mead and wine. The term is also sometimes used to refer to any chemical mixing process."

If your mignons are siphoning the stuff BEFORE alcohol is produced in the fermentation vat, you're not getting ginger beer. You're getting whatever the mungy stuff is called before the yeasts start doing their job AND it isn't even carbonated.

Muwahahahahahaha!

It seems Ginger Ale and Beer are closely related. Just not the soda version that is a soda indeed, with artificial ingredeants.
EQUIPMENT SUPPLIES
clean 2 liter plastic soft drink bottle with cap
funnel
Grater (preferably with fine "cutting" teeth
1 cup measuring cup
1/4 tsp and 1 Tbl measuring spoons cane (table) sugar [sucrose (1 cup)
Freshly grated ginger root (1 1/2-2 tablespoons)
Juice of one lemon
fresh granular baker's yeast (1/4 teaspoon)
cold fresh pure water

HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS HOME MADE GINGER ALE


Soda version, that I like has
INGREDIENTS: Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Ginger Extract With Other Natural Flavors, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Salt And Caramel Color.

Indy - Bah, that proves nothing. Fermentation can occur without the production of alcohol IF the beverage is decanted in time, It works the same way with apple cider. Still trying to catch me out I see? Next you'll be claiming that my minions don't really have any sophistimicated doo-whackies due to Esquilaxitavia's poor economic status! We have cheaper options anyway; all we need is a cup and a match to burn off any excess alcohol. So there!

Final - Salt? In GA? Bleh! Sounds cheap 'n' nasty to me . As for your recipe... that's a matter of semantics. Perhaps there was once a brewed variety GA, but now there ain't. At least, not here in Aus. there ain't.

Dribbled the bunny:

No. It can't. If alcohol isn't being produced, it isn't fermenting.

Try lighting a match over real beer (ought to be within easy reach in your part of the world). Let's see that alcohol burn off now, shall we?

Muwahahahahahahahaha!

I disagree. By *definition* you may be partially correct, but just because yeast and sugar are used in a product it does not mean that alcohol is produced, especially if the amount of sugar is *limited* as in GB. In any case, a "brewed" drink does not necessarily possess a fermentation stage, but usually only the mere reaction of sugar with yeast which, alone, does not mean that alcohol is produced but carbonation. *Wipes forehead* All of zees fighting is going to drive me straight to the bottle! The GB bottle that is .

but what about the natural and rather high sigar content in the raw ginger. no alcohol indeed. YOU said in another thread that the alcohol was removed, now you're saying its not there or in only insignificant amounts. that 3 different versions in one thread! what's the truth? stop hopping from one foot to another and just come clean.

The removal of alcohol is only completed prior to the bottling. The purchase of GB by legitimate means is my secondary source. The illegal barrel-tapping is my primary method of acquiring GB. Bah, I can't be bothered discussing this anymore! You guys will never understand my passion! *Walks off*

How come that the intensive commitment how Esqui insists on the de-alcoholized non-alcoholic alco-free version of GB looks like someone needs urgently a "AGBD" (anonymous ginger-beer drinkers) ?

*expects up-popping rabbits*

In the late 50ies/early 60ies Germany knew a serious alcohol problem with elder women and ... nuns. They drank what was thought to be a healthy medicine (the product still exists though): Klosterfrau Melissengeist (Klosterfrau = english nun; Melisse = melissa officinalis = balm; Geist = spirit).

No doubt it is healthy, but it contains afaik more than 35 % of alcohol. At that time those women did not know how strong it is - and abused it.

Now think about that Holy-Root-ideology and the 'spirit' defending it. Don't forget the rabbit's manic panic about 0% or 0.1%. More nun than pun !
