Home Brew Beer
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 unwaxed lemon, thickly sliced
- 250g golden caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 3/4 tsp dried fast-action yeast
- Put the ginger, lemon, sugar, cream of tartar and 750ml cold water into a large pan over a medium heat. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1.5 litres cold water and sprinkle over the yeast. Cover with a lid and set aside in a cool place overnight.
- The next day, sterilise the bottles by cleaning them in hot soapy water. Rinse and set aside.
- Strain the ginger beer through a nylon sieve and divide between the bottles – leave a 5cm gap at the top to allow for the build-up of gases. Screw on the lids tightly and leave in a cool place. Check every few hours, unscrewing the cap a little as the pressure builds up, to allow the gases to escape.
Tip You'll need 2 x 1.5-litre plastic bottles. Never use glass bottles as the pressure builds up and they will explode!
