Ginger Beer

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Rough and ready ginger beer. I did trim up the ginger a little, removing the knotty sections of peel, and then just sliced it. After a day I had very little alcohol, still much sugar, so I let it go a second day. I would double the yeast next time. It would probably be helpful for the directions to mention the importance of anaerobic fermentation - use a narrow container, don't shake or stir it, etc. to avoid producing bitter vinegar.

    Note: This Is not an Overly Sweet Drink and not One in Which You Can Substitute Splenda For the Sugar as the Yeast Feeds on the Sugar.
