After finding an article on http://www.selfsufficientish.com/ regarding
nettle beer I decided to give it a go.
I boiled the mixture for half an hour, strained the liquid into a demi
john, added 8grams of ginger and 250grams of demera sugar and pitched
in some bread making yeast (I could have used brewing yeast, but I've
never brewed with bread yeast, probably going to find out why very
soon....)
SG: 1.010
Fermentation started on Friday about midnight (three hours after
pitching and temp had dropped to 25'C) and continued till sometime
between monday- >wednesday. Not sure when as was in prague. The
delicious smell of ginger seems to have gone and has been replaced by
the tinge of yeastyness. So 6 days has gone past and the fermentation
has finished. About to syphon into bottles and add 1/2 teaspoon of
demera ready for secondary. Any tips?
