Alcoholic or non-alcoholic!
This recipe works very well I used my brew kit for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions:
Ginger Beer Recipe
Without Bug
You can make your own this way, with ordinary yeasts, brewers or bakers will do. I do 9 litres at a time so this is for nine litres
1. Boil 9 litres water in a big stainless steel or enamel pot Chop up about 4 or 5 oz of ginger - actually I just grab a big piece of Ginger, peel it and slice it. 2. Slice about 3 lemons Throw all of that plus a heaped teaspoon of cream of tartar and a kilo of sugar into the boiling water and then let cool down. 3. If it's just normal ginger beer you want then when it's about 20 degrees C Throw in some yeast - about a teaspoon. 4. Put the lid on and wait for about 36 hours then bottle (actually it's ready when it forms a thin white scum). 5. Stored at about 20 degrees for a week it's ready to transfer to a cool storage place or into the fridge. 6. If it's alcoholic, Add the yeast and let it ferment until it stops bubbling in the water trap - about 4 or 5 days at about 22 degrees. 7. Then bottle with 1 tsp sugar. 8. Let it condition at 22 degrees for about a week or two.
GINGER BEER PLANT
1. Put in container (not metal) 1/2 cup sugar 1 dessertspoon ground ginger juice of 1 lemon 480 ml water Stand 3 days 2. Pour off half water and feed for 10 days 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 teaspoon sugar 3. BEER Dissolve 4 cups sugar in 3 cups boiling water 4. Strain bug through cloth (I used 2 thicknesses of muslin) and squeeze well. 5. Add juice from plant to sugar mixture. 6. Add juice 2 lemons, 25 cups cold water and bottle 7. RENEW PLANT Keep 1/2 plant left in the cloth (give the other half to a friend) Put it back into the jar and add 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons ginger 8. Feed with 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ginger for 1 week
