Hi, I am about ready to bottle my first batch of fiery ginger beer. The conditions are right for it but am wondering on a couple things and would like some advice.
I have 12 1 pint bottles with new crowns and a sealer, my DJ of fermented ginger beer. I would like some carbonation (not crucial though) and from what I have read, 1tsp sugar per bottle would do the trick. I do not want them to explode! I need to get the beer out of the DJ and filter it. From what I read, a boiled cotton cloth or piece muslin would be fine? Add it to bottle + 1tsp of sugar and seal.
Leave it for 1 week in ambient temp, then 14 days in fridge.
Does this sound like a good plan?
I do have some campden tabs but some say it affects carbonation. How long before bottling does campden need to work?
Just started a 5 gallon bucket of mexican beer! :
