On Ginger Beer - Drinking Batch 3
Batch 3 - White is a lively brew.
Bottled on the 1st March it's been fermenting for 2 and a half weeks.
It is VERY fizzy. The first bottle I opened jetted like badly opened Champagne and landed 6 feet away. 6 feet to the left and 6 feet upwards. I got less than half the bottle in the glass.
The second bottle, opened over the bath, blew the cap off the bottle but I was ready and got 9/10ths of it in the glass.
It tastes very nice. Sweet gingery with a little bit of sharpness from lemon.
I'll need to make sure I properly chill these things before opening and find a way to open them with little more control.
Warned my dad about the fizziness. Got a helpful text back "Yes, I discovered that last night." Thanks, thanks for that dad.
EDIT: to add that chilling the ginger beer in the fridge for an hour or so seems to have controlled the effusive fizz and the brew is delicious and very bright.

My father's experiment with ginger beer ended when a bottle burst (while sitting on a shelf), and sympathetic detonations destroyed the entire batch. A sticky mess of glass shards coated the basement.
