Ginger beer bread


I have passion for baking bread, and my darling has passion brewing beer.

He brews beer at home. He makes 25L at once. It takes 2-3 weeks to ferment depends on temperature or what kind of beer brewing.
Last week, he brewed Ginger Beer. It is much easier to brew, he said. 


That is how we keep beer and ginger beer in the fridge. 


It is shame to show you inside of our fridge... anyway, we have beer tap on the fridge, and keep the keg and Co2 tank in the fridge. 

I got ginger beer yeast from his brewing, then why not make ginger beer bread. 
This ginger beer is 2% alcohol, and made from ginger, sugar, water, lemon, orange, chili and yeast. It taste spicy and citrus flavor.


Yeast is sinking to the bottom. 

I made polish from ginger beer and yeast, flour. And I add 10% of rye flour and mixed peel to make it citrus flavor.
