DarNat Ginger Ale: The UnPop

When last we tuned in...

In short the ale fell flat. We pulled it out of the fridge after 24 hours of chilling and open the lid. With most new bottles of pop, when you open the cap, there is a large whooshing of escaping carbon dioxide. Our bottle merely wheezed some carbon dioxide.

Upon first tasting, we were also disappointed. It was faintly gingery. Daorcey said it had a "yeasty taste."

Our learnings? Ferment the thing in a warm place. We keep the thermostat quite low and it may not have been enough for the yeast to grow.

We did take photos but they were just as exciting as the pop.
