Thank you, Jehan. My Guyanese husband prefers the fizzy one. Now, I know the difference.
I enjoy reading your blog. Your bakes recipe is our family’s brunch favorite

Hi Tuty, I add the water after I’ve strained the solids. I add the sugar after because that’s the way my mom made it, this produces less of an aerated beverage. Sugar and the length of time causes the beverage to become alcoholic during the fermentation process, it will also become fizzy. I personally like this version, as it’s what I’m familiar with and have grown to love. I hope that I’ve answered you question.

Jehan,

I have always wanted to make ginger beer. I read your recipe and I saw 3 qts of water. But in the direction, you only use 2 cups of water (when blending). When would the rest of the water added? After blending/pulverizing the ginger or after it sits for 24 hours?

I’ve read other recipes where the sugar is added before “the short fermentation” process. Why do you add the sugar after?

I look forward to your feedback.

I came across your site because my daughter and her friend is doing a project on Guyana. They chose to do roti and curry.

When I found your Ginger Beer recipe it brought back childhood memories growing up in Guyana with my aunt making ginger beer at Christmas time. Christmas wasn’t Christmas in Guyana without Ginger Beer, homemade rice wine, homemade bread, pepperpot, and cassava pone.

I will try your recipe. It looks like the ginger beer that my aunt made. Thanks for making it available to others.

Mmmm, so full of fall flavor. Didn’t know this was a popular drink there. Thanks for sharing something new for us to make for friends.
