Creation Date: 12/21/2024 7:55 PM

Notes: Main ingredients:
128 ounces of Trader Joe's Ginger Brew (5 bottles) degassed (Note: The fermentable sugars are in the Ginger Brew; do not add additional sugar unless you want to bump up the potential ABV)
1 tsp EC-1118 yeast

Optional additives but recommend:
Yeast nutrient (follow directions per gallon of must)
Tannin (follow directions per gallon of must)
Pectic enzyme (follow directions per gallon of must)

Optional step but recommend:
Backsweeten to 1.02 gravity with honey (about 200 grams) or other sweetener of choice (Note: This includes the honey used for priming)

Carbonation:
Reuse the Trader Joe's Ginger Brew flip-top bottles and bottle the fermented beverage after backsweetening
Bottle condition for a week to carbonate, then pasteurize the bottles

Pasteurization:
Place bottles in large tall pot and fill with water until neck of bottles are covered
Remove the bottles after filling pot with water
Place pot of water on stove and heat to 185⁰F
Once temperature is reached, remove pot off heat and place bottles back into the hot water
Let the bottles sit in hot water for 15-20 minutes then remove bottles carefully (they are hot and under pressure!)
Let the bottles get back to room temperature on their own (let them sit)
Refrigerate after cooled to room temperature
Enjoy!

Notes: Mesk på 66 grader i 60 min. Hvis du har mulighet, kan du gjerne gjøre en utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min.

Pitch gjær på 16-17 grader. Gjæring på 17-21 grader i 5 dager i gradvis økning, 21 grader i 9 dager. Tørrhumle f.o.m. dag 8, og la tørrhumla få en kontakttid på 5-10 dager. Gjør gjerne en coldcrash (å senke temperaturen så langt ned mot 0 grader som mulig) 2-3 dager før tapping hvis du har mulighet.

PS: Denne oppskriften har vi beregnet til nøyaktig 200 gram humle. Hvis du virkelig vil ha en skikkelig humlebombe, kan du tørrhumle en gang til, med 30-50 gram, 3-5 dager før tapping/coldcrash.

Notes: 0 min boil hop = Post Boil Swirl Hops.

Mash at 150F. Kill the flame after the 90 min boil and add the Post Boil hops, swirl, cover and let sit for 60 min. After 60 min, drop the temp quickly, pitch and ferment at 70F for 14-17 days. Cold crash to 37F before racking to secondary. Rack to secondary, let the beer warm back to pitching temperature, and dry hop. I like to rack to a layer of CO2 covered hops (in this case, sack full of whole hops) in secondary. Bottle at 70F for 21 days.
