Rupert_Baehr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Get a fermentation jar (ideally) or else a large glass container with as narrow a neck as possible. Put a gallon of water (at about 20'C) in it. Add 1 teaspoon of bakers (or better still brewers) yeast and 2 or 3 Oz of sugar. Add 1 teaspoonful of ground ginger. Cover with a damp cloth (or use a fermentation lock.) Feed your ginger beer plant every day with one teaspoonful of ground ginger and one teaspoonful of sugar. After 2 weeks, drain off the liquid and replace it with another gallon of water. continue feeding the plant. Bottle the liquid you drained off. The ginger beer will be ready to drink in about 5 days. Don't keep it too long - it's still fermenting and the pressure in the bottle will build up fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ginger Beer produced by that method will not be alcohol-free. The alcohol content will be in the range of 1-1.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emma royd Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Anyone know where in sheffield i can get that crabbies ginger beer from - want to try it and have looked everywhere - including the places their website says should sell it. Pretty much all the supermarkets have it, but I dropped in at Lidl at Castlebeck on way home the other night and it was on at £1.50 bottle. I like to mix it with Vodka and lime juice to make a Moscow Mule. If I'm really feeling jaded I add a good slug of Ginger Wine to really beef it up. They also do a very nice "fiery" (NON ALCOHOLIC) ginger beer at Aldi. Its dirt cheap and very fiery. So if I want to save a few pence I buy that for the mules and increase the ginger wine to make up the ABV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I was bought some very nice ginger cider as a Christmas present. I'd like to get more, but it means going to Scotland to visit a microbrewery up there to get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm in Sheffield/Leeds I usually buy a can for around £0.70p. Next time i'm up north I will stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
