Managed to sell better half on the idea of ginger beer for Xmas.
Used this recipe
http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2013/09/the-old-fashioned-way-homemade-ginger-beer/
Ginger Syrup Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
Ginger Beer Ingredients
1/8 tsp active dry yeast
Ginger syrup (above)
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
7 cups filtered water
Servings: 2 liters
Change was loads more (double) ginger and added zest, (potato peeled skin, washed pith off by scraping in hot water) and juice of one lemon and one clementine.
Added zest after sugar boil by cutting into marmalade like slithers with scissors.
One bottle for kids, one for me. Can pick up the clementine before the ginger burn, good addition.
Will pasteurize kids as soon as any pressure in adults one. Preheat bottles, put in water at 180C (stove top with lid on and eye protection), leave 5 mins then cool.
Pasteurise adults after 5 days.
Will report on any tasting/explosions/accidents
