Ginger beer is a carbonated, slightly alcoholic ginger soda. It is very delicious, and has
a bit more bite than the typical ginger ale soda like Canada Dry or Schweppes that we
are all used to. It is a very refreshing cocktail especially in the summertime when the
living’s easy, like on a lazy, hot Sunday afternoon out on the porch. Here is how to brew
ginger beer at home.

Ginger beer also serves as a delicious mixer using Whiskey, Vodka or Rum. In fact,
many mixed drink recipes call for a ginger ale or ginger beer, like the good ole Moscow
Mule.

To make ginger beer you will need the

following ingredients:
1. 50g / about a ¼ cup of ginger beer plant (yeast used to ferment the beverage)
– http://gingerbeerplant.net – selling the one and the only authentic ginger beer
plant on Earth
2. 1 cup of Organic Cane Sugar – this is just a guide, use your judgement and
adjust as you progress
3. 2 liters or 4 pints of water
4. juice of a lemon – Organic Lemon Juice Preferred
5. 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar if you have but it’s not vital
6. 5-12 cm / 2-5 inches of Organic Ginger Root or to taste

How to Brew Ginger Beer:

1. Boil the ingredients together for about an hour (except the yeast), then let the
liquid cool to room temperature.
2. Place the cooled liquid in a carboy with a fermentation lock to let the gases out,
but keep the impurities from endangering the flavor of the brew (turning it to
vinegar).
3.  Put the yeast into the liquid and let it ferment for about five days unless you want
it stronger and less sweet or ferment for a shorter time if you want it more like
sweet soda without as much alcohol.  A good guide to when it is okay to bottle is
when it is just a little bit sweeter than you would like the brew to taste.
4. Strain yeast and save it for another brew, bottle and let the bottles sit at room
temperature (65-70 degrees) for about five days (periodically releasing any gas
build-up to prevent explosions) and then refrigerate until drinking.
