What are you drinking this week?

I have been enjoying some variations with homemade pineapple tepache, today (Sunday) just having it straight up.

    Yes, I do put it in a closed bottle when it’s done but immediately refrigerate because it’s so active, gets scary pressure if left out. It’s funny - beer is fussy as heck, ginger beer only works for me with organic ginger, but tepache? Toss peels in a pitcher, add sweet cinnamon lemonade, it’s almost foolproof. Pineapple yeast must be strong as heck.

      From what I’ve read you need organic ginger as they irradiate the normal stuff, and it kills off everything. I guess you could probably get around it with a good inoculation from a prior brew. Costco was selling boxes of organic ginger a while ago, I need to check if they still have some and brew some beer.
