Ginger Beer

Ginger Beer recipe from acleanplate.com #aip #paleo #

I drank a lot of ginger beer (a non-alcoholic fermented beverage, like kombucha) in my early days on the AIP. It was a fun little treat when I discovered I could no longer tolerate kombucha (I have a yeast sensitivity). And while I can’t do a whole lot of ginger beer, either, it doesn’t seem to bother me quite as much. And like kombucha, it’s actually pretty easy to make at home. Actually, it’s even easier than kombucha. It only takes a few days if your environment is warm enough, and you don’t have to worry about taking care of a SCOBY in between batches!

    Hi there! I’m new to wine yeast. Can you tell me why that would be okay on the AIP diet?

    1. Yeast is AIP-friendly as long as it doesn’t contain gluten. This is just a strain of yeast that is specifically used to make wine.

  2. Can I replace the cane sugar with anything else?
