For a spicier ginger ale, increase the amount of grated ginger. For a sweeter beverage, adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Experiment with adding other citrus juices, such as lime or orange, for a unique flavor profile. You could also add a splash of fruit extract. Be cautious when opening the bottle after fermentation, as pressure may have built up. Open slowly over a sink to avoid any spills. If you prefer a less fizzy ginger ale, reduce the fermentation time. Store refrigerated for up to a week. The flavor may change slightly over time as fermentation continues.
