In 2022 Shannon and the team set out to create our own recipe for Seltzers that are clean, sparkling and delicious.
We wanted to create a bolder flavour than in the seltzers you can buy commercially. Each seltzer is made to order with natural flavour, so we can modify with more or less flavour to make it exactly how you like it.
Because your seltzer doesn't have to travel far we use a lot less preservatives than those you buy from the liquor store - better for your body!
And with us you don't have to pay any liquor tax. This means that our price is lower than the liquor store and you get to play a fun part in the process too.
How to Make Your Seltzer
Step 1 - Choose Your Seltzer
Choose your Seltzer flavour! Each batch makes for 65 cans of seltzer.
Step 2 - Pitch the Yeast
Come into store to pay for your seltzer and pitch the yeast. Although only taking a few seconds, this is the most important step in making your seltzer with us and is a legal requirement. Sprinkling the yeast is what starts the process, so enjoy the moment!
Step 3 - Let Us Do The Work
Your seltzer will be ready in 2 weeks. During this time, you can sit back and relax while we do the rest.
Step 4 - Call to Make an Appointment to Bottle
When you are ready, and the "due date" for you seltzer is coming up or already past, simply call us to make an appointment to bottle. We need minimum two days notice!
If you intend to use cans we will provide these on the day. If you would like to use bottles you can use any that you have already, simply rinse them out after drinking and bring them with you on the bottling day. If you do not have any bottles at home, you are welcome to buy bottles from us on the day.
Step 5 - Can or Bottle your Seltzer
On your appointment day, come in to can or bottle your seltzer! If it is your first time, or if you need a refresher, our friendly team will lead you through the entire process.
It is best practice to sanitize your bottles prior to bottling If you do not have a method of doing this at home, we have manual hand pump sanitizers that are free to use (takes around 10 minutes), or a sanitizing machine that automatically sanitizes your bottles in 2 minutes. If you are using cans, you need to do no work!
Bottling itself is a very easy process, whether you bottle into plastic bottles, glass bottles or cans. The whole process takes approximately 45 mins per batch!
Step 6 - Store Your Seltzer
After bottling, take your seltzer straight home to store until you are ready to enjoy it!
The seltzer made at BA Brewmaster has less preservatives than commercial equivalents, which has many advantages for the consumer, but means that your cider needs to be stored in a cool dark place. The ideal temperature is between 7°C-13°C (45°F-55°F), however cool garages and basements will be okay so long as they do not reach above 20°C (68°F).
The seltzers can be enjoyed straight away and do not require aging!
Step 7 - Enjoy!
The easiest step of all - enjoy!!!
