Brewing Process
Bundaberg Brewed Drinks' most famous drink is their Ginger Beer. It is made through the following process. The Ginger root is ground to a coarse powder. Bundaberg Brewed Drinks uses dried ginger root which is dried using a special process that ensures the natural flavour is preserved. The ground ginger is mixed with cane sugar and water. The mixture is heated to release flavours, sugars and starches from the ginger. The ginger starches are also broken down into fermentable sugars.
Yeast is added to ferment the wort. A special yeast is used in the natural brewing process which extracts optimum ginger flavour and the distinctive taste of Bundaberg Ginger Beer. After fermentation, the ginger is filtered. The ginger beer at this stage is a concentrate or strong ginger beer. It is stored this way to maximise maturation. After maturation, the ginger beer is diluted with water, sugar and citric acid to drinking strength and filtered. It is then sent to the filler where it is carbonated and put into bottles.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“To exist as an advertisement of her husband’s income, or her father’s generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
