Method:

15. Hydrate your Y1 Seltzer Pure Yeast Add 2 x 500g to 10 Litres of warm water (1:10) at 35°C. Leave to rehydrate for 20mins then stir to fully dissolve just prior to pitching.
16. Fill your Kettle with 920 Litres of RO or distilled or filtered water.
17. Add the Dextrose and Rice Syrup and stir until dissolved. Add water as necessary to top up est. preboil volume of 991 L.
18. Add 500g Pride of Ringwood T90 AU Hops 10.5% AA at boiling for 6 mins boil for 4 IBU to meet ATO Beer Excise definition.
19. Cool to below 30°C add 1.5kg pack of N1 Seltzer Pure Yeast Nutrient & Buffering Solution, then add the rehydrated 2 x 500g Y1 Pure Seltzer yeast.
20. Continue to cool the brew to optimal fermentation temperature 25 °C (77 °F)
21. Check temperature: Maintain a constant fermentation at 25 °C (77 °F) and leave to ferment for 5-7 days for optimum results.
22. Once fermentation is complete, cold crash to near freezing to drop out as much yeast you can.  Add 50mL of MagiSol® 300 | Silica Sol to assist with clarification.  Note: the addition of MagiSol® 300 | Silica Sol is routinely used in fermented beer at the transfer process. Stabisol 300 will have greatest effect if the fermentation is complete and the temperature is close to the freezing-point. The bulk of the haze-forming components are already insoluble, and together with other filtration impeding substances; they are absorbed by the silica sol and settle to the tank bottom. With this addition, a fast clarification is achieved, and this also leads to an optimisation of filtration.
23. Carbon Filter or clarify with any existing filtering aids available to you e.g. centrifuge, membrane filter, etc so you have a clean and clear and neutral base beer.
24. Transfer the finished Ginger beer into your blending or bright tank.
25. Add 50 Kg of BeerCo Buderim Ginger Beer Compound (dose at 5% of total volume) to the finished fermentation.  Optional: Add Citric Acid and/or Malic Acid as required to sharpen taste and bring down pH to desired level. Below 4 pH is ideal for product safety and packaging stability.
26. Optional Sweetening: If you would like to sweeten more the naturally Brewed Ginger Beer, we recommend using non-fermentable natural sweeteners if you do not have a tunnel pasteurizer.  Mix up a blend of Stevia and Erythritol and dose to desired sweetness level.  You can do this on the bench drawing a Litre or 10 Litres of your flavoured base and working the right ration and sweetness levels.
27. Optional Preservatives:  We recommend if you are optionally sweetening your naturally brewed Hard Ginger Beer that you also dose some GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) preservatives.  Our Recommendation is: 250g Preservative 202 | Potassium Sorbate Potassium Sorbate (250ppm) 0.2-0.3 g/L range. Potassium Sorbate is typically used at a rate of 0.15-0.3% (if used alone) or 0.1-0.2% (if used in combination with other preservatives). Add 150g Preservative 211 | Sodium Benzoate (150 ppm).
28. This ginger beer would like to be well carbonated. Additions of Preservative 202 | Potassium Sorbate and Preservative 211 | Sodium Benzoate are optional and will also act as a mild preservative and increase shelf life of your Hard Ginger Beer!
29. This ginger beer likes to be well carbonated — try 2.4-2.7 volumes of C02 — and will stay good for quite a while in a kegerator.  Additions of Potassium Sorbate and Sodium or Potassium Metabisulphate or Campden Tablets or Sodium Benzoate are optional and will also act as a mild preservative and increase shelf life in the keg!
