I started fermentation because I was unhappy with available ginger beer (too sweet, not spicy enough). My first run was decent but I still wasn‘t satisfied and tried again with even more ginger. Turned out it was almost too spicy. I simply loved it and mixing with it was a real pleasure.
Ah! Should've tasted and talked through the flavors of just the soda without the tequila! Was one sweeter because of the pineapple? One more spicy because of the ginger bug? Would've been great detail.
I am so into fermentation at the moment. It is so good for creating lovely ingredients. The last one I did was lacto-fermented strawberry and honey syrup, and it was absolutely delicious.
@@earrick2 Mine stored well in the fridge for two weeks, then we used them in cocktails. You can also freeze the starter and use later like you would with sourdough starter
Been making Kombucha, Tepache, and small beer since the 2020 lockdowns... it's extremely cost effective, and I highly recommend using mason jars for fermentation, as they are self-burping due to their 2-part lid. Also ***fermentation happens faster at higher ambient temperature***…the first summer I was doing 2nd ferment, had a metal kombucha bottle cap launch right off the glass bottle, thankfully not shattering in the process.
This video is a 10/10. Never thought I'd be fermenting things but I love any new skills for adding flavors to cocktails! My only question is how to store the starters (particularly the grapefruit starter) after filtering, and if it's better to store it as a starter or as the soda after the second carbonation. And can you just mix more grapefruit juice to the starter to create more? Thank you!
Highly recommend the book Slow Drinks by Danny Childs. It's right up your alley with a focus on sustainability through foraging and of course some tasty drinks 🍸
3⃣ Well, a few days ago I was thinking about making some lacto fermented soda since it's getting hot here. I guess I have no excuses now, especially now that I learnt that they would be great for making one of my favourite cocktails, paloma :D
Put it in a refrigerator where the fermentation process will stop gradually. If you want to stop it fully, you would need to pasteurize the bottles (of course, only proper glass bottles are ok for that step)
Starters are good for weeks if you store them in the fridge and add sugar so it have soem food to survive. You can also freeze it where it will survive for longer. As for the soda use it in a month (stored in the refridgerator) but be aware that it will become more and more fizzy and acidic.
3. This is really heady stuff. Another thing to add to the list of techniques I need to work on. So many drink options become available once you use different techniques.
I feel like an idiot. Watched a couple times and dont understand if you're adding yeast or simply spontaneous fermentation using the starters you made before. Great video!

Super early for the best cocktail youtuber!!
Thanks, it means a lot! Cheers!
This is a lifesaver as I had no idea what to do in my spare time this summer... time to make grapefruit sodas then! cheers!
... and Palomas, right? 😎 Cheers and let me know how it turns out!
@@KevinKos of course 😉 need to see if I can get my hands on that Mijenta tequila
3⃣ Fermentation is an incredibly healthy and flavorful tradition that a lot of us grew up with! Cheers Kevin!

Great recipes! Paloma is my go to summer cocktail, with tajin on the rim instead of salt. 😍 Cheers! 3️⃣🥂
3️⃣ The Art of Fermentation is an excellent recommendation. Cheers 🥂
Oh finally a fermentation video from the master cocktail man! Thank you. Please more video with fermented ingredients! 🙏🏼

Yours inspired me to try a strawberry ferment turned soda 😎
@@ellyam991 I hope you enjoy it.
Can you keep the fermented starter or soda in your fridge? I know without super juice it won’t keep, but what is the best way to store?

Entertaining presentation!
Beautiful video and editing! Excited to try making this!
Just started a batch of lacto fermented grapefruit. Hopefully it turns out! 🤞

3️⃣ I might not do all three but I definitely need to try one!
Cheers!

Great recipe as always.
Thank you! Will you be making this? Cheers! 🥂
Another great video and learned a ton. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks! 🥂
That was magnificent. I will replicate the grapefruit one this Summer. Thank you for the video. 🍊🍍🥕
The time lapse looked cool.3⃣
Thanks T! Robi indeed did a great job on this one! Cheers 🥂
How inspiring!! Your videos are always so interesting, i applaud your creativity in stirring up good content.
🥉3️⃣ the art of fermentation is a good book!
3️⃣ very cool way to create funky flavours^
3 - Yet more inspiration!
Highly recommend the book Slow Drinks by Danny Childs. It's right up your alley with a focus on sustainability through foraging and of course some tasty drinks 🍸
The Grapfruit Paloma is on my menu 😋
3️⃣ these look so good. The real question is can I wait a week to achieve perfect fermentation.
3️⃣ working on a ginger beer now.
3️⃣ Nice and smooth, as always! #Cheers 🍍🍊🫚🍹❤️🔥
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you very much for your wonderful work.
My pleasure. Thank you for being a part of this community and especially for supporting the channel like this, it's much appreciated! Cheers 🥃

Sometimes the universe really is giving us exactly what we need, right? Cheers, my friend!
Good Job..Kevin🎉
3⃣Great video as always! Could you once also make a video about cocktail garnish hacks?
An interesting episode with garnishes is dropping in a few weeks, stay tuned (and make sure to keep those fermentation leftovers! 😉)
Great video again. Going to buy grapefruits...
Cheers!
Great! Let us know the results! Cheers 🥂
3...and you're amazing!!
Thanks for the support! Cheers! 🥂
amazing video as always . what is the shelf life of the fermented sodas ?
3️⃣ Awesome video Kevin! One question, how to do you stop fermentation process, when you decide you don't want anymore to happen;
Put it in a refrigerator where the fermentation process will stop gradually. If you want to stop it fully, you would need to pasteurize the bottles (of course, only proper glass bottles are ok for that step)
@@KevinKos thanks you Kevin!!
3️⃣ Great content as always! How long is the shelf life of the starters/sodas?
Starters are good for weeks if you store them in the fridge and add sugar so it have soem food to survive. You can also freeze it where it will survive for longer. As for the soda use it in a month (stored in the refridgerator) but be aware that it will become more and more fizzy and acidic.
It's good video.Is the fermented process done in the room temperature? thanks
Thank you! Yes, all room temp.
Nice!
3️⃣ I may or may not have some fruit lactofermenting now
Share the results with us! 😉 Cheers Ellyam! 🥂

true!
I feel like an idiot. Watched a couple times and dont understand if you're adding yeast or simply spontaneous fermentation using the starters you made before. Great video!
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn I'd try all the [3] of them, but I'm taking sertraline and I can't!!! I'm thinking about making some tepache, though...
I feel you on the sertraline struggles, but I'll trade you info on the tepache soda and I'll make the lactofermented one 😎

Why don't you write a book?
Maybe one day 😊

Save the world from pineapple on pizza, make Tepache instead 😂
Put the flesh on the pizza, make tepache with the rinds. Perfect. Match made in heaven.
Save the world from pineapple in Mai Tai’s, put it on your pizza
Shut your mouth 😂 pineapple on pizza is delicious 🤤
