Trying my 1st lacto-fermented carbonated soda. This is (hopefully) Tepache.. a south American carbonated soda. Most Tepaches have Pineapple and all sorts of other spices (hot chilis, cinnamon, star anise, etc.).. I started with simple pineapple & ginger. The gallon jug has been fermenting for three days. Today I filtered and bottled... a few more days in room temp and it should carbonate with continued fermentation under pressure therefore natural carbonation of the drink.

Next week... gonna give home brewed naturally carbonated root beer... gotta start a "ginger bug" for that.
 
tepache is great I have only made it twice let it go too long the first time.
have you made any water kefir yet? you have to be careful on your second ferment it gets really carbonated
 
I have not tried Water Kefir yet.. it's on the list. Starting a ginger bug today for the root beer.

The Tepache 1st bottle was good..but not enough carbonation. I'm letting the 2nd bottle ferment a little longer before putting in fridge.
