You want to know about something
that's freaking awesome? Well I'm gonna tell youns all about
something that's freaking awesome. And when I say it's freaking
awesome, it's not just so freaking awesome, it's so SO SOOOOO
freaking awesome, let me tell you dudes I ain't a messin' with you
man, this is some deep, some awesomely deligioomousious
sassalilicaly yum yum freakin wow wow. Yeah. Burp. Hey there.
Dangit I HATE Corn Syrup and all it represents. Down with the Man and Down with his lousy Corn Syrup and his stoopid lobbiests that write junk articles about how it is the wonder wonder yum. That junk ain't no wonder wonder yum yum, my friends, that junk is some stuff that is baaaaaaad for you and ho. And it tastes like gunky sticky crud.
You needs some real nutrition, some real food, my friends.
BLAAAAAACK berry. That's right, it is **BlaCkBeRRy*8 season right now!!! You go get some, we need 2 or 3 cups of them right now, go pick them. And stop by the store and get some fresh ginger root while you at it. I wait.
Back yet? Good. A treat awaits.
Lay out this stuff on your counter:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp finely grated ginger
1/4 tsp yeast
3 cups fresh blackberries
water to fill 2 liter bottle
Funnel
2 liter soda bottle, empty and clean
Balloon
OK, now dump the sugar in bottle and with the yeast using the funnel.
Grind blackberries with some water in blender to create blackberry slurry.
Fine grate the ginger - really fine.
Pour slurry into bottle on top of ginger.
Fill the rest of the bottle through the funnel with cold water.
Place balloon over bottle neck - this captures the CO2 while maintaining pressure and keeping gnats out.
Leave on counter at room temperature for *72* hours (3 days)
Then refrigerate it for 12 hours.
It's gonna look like a big poop is stuck in the neck, but that is just the blackberry crud, don't worry you can eat it if you want it's not as bad as it looks. But the stuff at the very top, maybe gentle squeeze that out a bit, let's call it 'decanting'. By that time, the rest of the crud will have fallen into the bottle and be mixed around and there's no doing about that, just don't worry, it don't taste bad at all, no sir.
Pour this into a mason jar with some ice.
Put the original screw cap on the 2 liter bottle and back in the fridge.
Now, drink that mason jar, even the sludge at the bottom, go ahead, it's gooooooood. (yum)
You drink! You like! Frickeen-Awesome!!! This is the best hootch you ever drank ! Woo hoo! Dang boy, you need to make more bottles of this right pronto yee haw!!!!!!!!!!! And 100% natural and that's no lie.
Did I mention that it is rather alcoholic? You may have inferred that already.
This is the most delicious thing EVAR. I call it "Red Barn's Wickedly Delicious Blackberry Ginger Brew" and it is my own invention!!!
Try!! It will change your life!
Note: Please be aware that although delicious, this recipe makes very poor quality spirits. They are not aged and thus have byproducts of the fermentation process that will give you headaches and a hangover. Don't drink the half gallon all at once or you will end up sick as a dog.
