 I've just started brewing my own home made ginger beer, and I have to admit it ain't half bad. |

Water, ginger, sugar and yeast.
In a bucket with a towel over the top. Wait a week and drink.
Even an old fool like me can get it right.
Just like Pop used to make.

And if you're wondering why Oldie has been a bit absent lately, the couple that know me on Facebook will understand.
Not that you are wondering....

Ignore them oldie, they're trying to calculate the quantities of the ingredients. And if they can borrow or nick a bucket from the one next door.

Something like 8 litres of water, spoonful of yeast, but more than half kilo of sugar, fistfull of ginger (or a good lump of ginger powder), and I forgot, about half a cup of lemon juice or black tea.
Add some spices to suit.
Let it brew for a week or so.

8 litres of water.? Must be a fxxking big bucket. But if you live in a rural area without running water and need to top up at the municipal well I suppose you need to keep plenty in stock.
I believe there are a few others on here with the same problem.

Possibly a one litre bucket may have been wiser.
Did you offend anyone.?

Hi gents.
This is oldies wife.
My useless husband dropped dead from alcoholic and cholesterol overload.
He might have been useless, but at least he was consistent.
