Ginger Beer

Well I had my successful batch fermenting in my garage for a week now and no exploded bottles.. So far.
It's quite a simple recipe, to make 2 litres put 1 cup of sugar, juice of 1 lemon, a dash of honey, as much ginger as you like and 1/4 teaspoon of brewers yeast in the bottom of a 2 litre bottle. Then half fill with water and shake to dissolve the sugar then fill almost to the top, leaving some room for the yeast to breathe. Leave for a minimum of 2 days and strain and chill before serving.

Some things you should know. The first one is that the yeast eat the sugar to produce alcohol. It is a necessary ingredient don't feel tempted to reduce it for a healthier recipe. Another thing is that plastic bottles have more resistance to pressure than glass bottles and are less likely to explode. This may not be the case for everyone but I found that the more space you have at the top of the bottle the less alcohol and the sweeter your beer is.
This is a really cheap way to make your own alcohol for nearly no effort. Once you get started you should be able to have ginger beer on the go at all times. Happy brewing.
