I bought sugar cane juice with lemon and ginger crushed fresh and bottled in soft drink plastic bottle and put it in the fridge.
It was ~80F when I bought it (ambient temps in South India) and 1 hr later went into a 35F fridge.
4-5 days it sat in the fridge. And opening it today I shook it before opening and ended up with a geyser. I tightened the cap back before losing more than a sip or 2.
So how did that happen ? Yes sugar cane has plenty of all sorts of yeast and bacteria as does all items on the planet, but still fermenting in the fridge is a bit much - I thought.
I believe its more vinegar than alcohol but the carbonation was impressive.
