Ginger Beer

I've got a illness currently so havn't been drinking all that much wine. One thing I have been tearing into however has been, hot lemon, honey and ginger drinks. Which got me wondering, could we make our own ginger beer. A quick check of google and yes we could.

We put down a first batch using what we had around the house, ie bread yeast and a few lemons plus the fresh ginger. 48 hours later we gave it a try and it was great really fizzy and refreshing. So we've gone out to buy brewing yeast and have just put down a second batch with a look to make it alcoholic this time.

The recipie for reference is:
per litre

3/4 shot of ginger juice ( found by grating then squeezing the ginger)
juice of 1 or 2 lemons
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp yeast
warm water

out next step is to start brewing in larger quanttities and get ourselves an enterprise
