Notes: Process:
Start the “ginger bug”: Add 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) grated ginger (skin and all) and 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) sugar to 1 cup (250 milliliters) of water. Stir well and leave in a warm spot, covered with cheesecloth to allow free circulation of air while keeping flies out. Add this amount of ginger and sugar every day or two and stir, until the bug starts bubbling, in 2 days to about a week.
Make the ginger beer any time after the bug becomes active. (If you wait more than a couple of days, keep feeding the bug fresh ginger and sugar every 2 days.) Boil 2 quarts (2 liters) of water. Add about 2 inches (5 centimeters) of gingerroot, grated, for a mild ginger flavor (up to 6 inches/15 centimeters for an intense ginger flavor) and 11/2 cups (375 milliliters) sugar. Boil this mixture for about 15 minutes. Cool.
Once the ginger-sugar-water mixture has cooled, strain the ginger out and add the juice of the lemons (or limes) and the strained ginger bug. (If you intend to make this process an ongoing rhythm, reserve a few tablespoons of the active bug as a starter and replenish it with additional water, grated ginger, and sugar.) Add enough water to make 1 gallon (4 liters).
Bottle in sealable bottles: Recycle plastic soda bottles with screw tops; rubber gasket “bail-top” bottles that Grolsch and some other premium beers use; sealable juice jugs; or capped beer bottles, as described in chapter 11. Leave bottles to ferment in a warm spot for about 2 weeks.
Cool before opening. When you open ginger beer, be prepared with a glass, since carbonation can be strong and force liquid rushing out of the bottle.

Notes: Create a yeast starter with 1 C. orange juice, 1 tspn Yeast Nutrient, and Yeast in a mason jar. Let sit for 3-5 hours before brewing.

Crash the brew with 1/2 tspn per gallon of Potassium Sorbate after 7-10 days in fermentation, around when the OG reaches 1.020. Then, let sit for the rest of a full month to absorb the spices before racking to secondary. You can also pitch the spices in secondary instead, and rack immediately to secondary at 7 days.

On secondary, boil the the extra sugars for 15 minutes in a liter of water in a small sauce pot, siphoning off any nastiness. Pitch in, and give the mead a gentle stir for 30 seconds. This must be done *after* the Potassium Sorbate has been pitched and integrated well to crash the fermentation.

Be sparring with the orange juice. It tends to overwhelm the subtlety of the spices if too much is used, even by a half-cup. It adds a necessary acidic-sweetness to the mead to blend out the stark dryness of the spices against the earthy sweetness of the mead.

I tend to use a forest honey for a more mature vegetable sweetness, but summer bloom or clover works just as well.

Let sit on Secondary for 2-3 months. Continue to rack to desired clarity. Best if brewed in December and given at least 2 months to rest in a bottle.

Notes: My first attempt at a low-alcohol/non-alcoholic beer. Kept the ABV at 0.5%. Depending on efficiency, it could be even lower or slightly higher.

Notes: This is not the original ingredients list. Must start calling Cachette in advance to secure yeasts - and hops for that matter.

Boil started off perfectly. Got a skunk living under the stoop, and just found out the Mustang has a leak in the radiator. Losing Mike Barsalou next week due to inverted headcount ratio. Good times.

Because I added steeped water at about 15 min (with Irish Moss), and also added water at about 20 minutes to keep up boil volume (suspect this is a no-no), I added 10 minutes to the boil, to ensure it had 60 minutes of true boiling time. Don't simmer your beer, I once read. Should have waited to add the carageenan.....oh well.

Made starter, as per instructions, with 200B yeast cells.

Chilled the pot in the snow.

Pitched yeast next morning, at about 65F, set chiller to 58F. Yeast looked happy. Starting gravity was spot-on at 1.050. Probably dropped with all the liquid thrown in with the yeast.....did not check.

Temp profile: 51F (3/12), Diacetyl rest 57-64-67 (3/18-3/21), racked to carboy, 55F (3/21), 39F (would not reach 36F, 3/23), 40F (3/26), OFF (3.29). Took about 3 days to get above 50F.

Bottled on April 4, everything went smoothly.
