13) Old Fashion Ginger Beer
Grated Old Ginger 15.25g
Cream of Tartar 15.25g
White Cane Sugar 168g
3/4 Lemon Juice
1.4L Water
EZ Caps Yeast
Ferment time 24hrs (or till the bottle is firm)
Remarks: Doesn't have the fiery taste of a ginger.. defintely there is a gingery taste.. but the lemonade after flavor seems to overwhelm it.. refreshing taste, but not close to what you get in market.. maybe I should get different ginger.. and use brown sugar.. But my local market doesnt sell Jamaican ginger!!! Only ginger powder and local old/young ginger..
1st , I placed all ingredients in 700ml water , bring to boil and add the balance 700ml in. Pour in bottle, place in Ice bath to bring the temperature down quickly. Add yeast and place in room temperature instead of chiller.
Note: The actual recipe uses Jamaica Ginger & Brown Sugar, which I didn't have.. So i just bought some old ginger root from the supermarket instead.. washed and grated it with the skin intact..
