    My Nan and Opa brew their own. They would use old coke/lemonade bottles and store them in the bathtub for fermenting.

    Many many times have they literally exploded (I was their for one and it’s louder than a gunshot)and rained ginger beer all over their bathroom 😂 but no commercial brand has ever ever been as good as theirs lol

    Was meant to add, Bundaberg is the best commercial brand tho lol

      Ooh, I might have to give that a go next year! I’ve gotten super into mead making tiktoks recently, and ended up purchasing a 1 gallon jug and air lock off Amazon, as well as yeast. Haven’t used them yet, but I reckon next year I might give that a go

      I’ve also been interested in making kimchi and Kombucha (even though I don’t really like Kombucha) which I think are similar processes. Might need to add ginger beer to the list lol

      My mum tried to brew her own and had the same result, so had to put it all outside. I remember being very entertained by the explosions as a kid, lol
