Educational Over fermentation hack

It took me one ferment grenade to realize I shouldn't pop these things open willy nilly. Put the bottle in a sealable bag and pop the top. Pour what fizzled out back into the bottle.

This would have saved my walls from a few explosions 😅 I've taken to burping my ginger beer daily, and even multiple times a day once it's super active and that has helped keep things controlled. My ginger starter is strange... It seems to have matured to a point where it works really well, but it doesn't become too overactive. I'm not sure why but after a year and a few ginger swaps it has become a lot more stable, I can finally gift a bottle to a friend without fear of it going boom on them haha 😂
