Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tsp dried yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 600 ml lukewarm water
  • 3 1/2 liters water
  • 500 g sugar
  • 2 lemons , juice of

Directions:

  1. -TO GET BUG WORKING-.
  2. Mix the yeast, ground ginger, 2 tspns of sugar and lukewarm water together in a large glass jar.
  3. Cover with a cloth (the sort of material that you would use to strain jelly through as the bug needs to breathe).
  4. Let stand for 24 hours.
  5. After this feed the bug every day for 10 days with 1 tspn of ground ginger and 1 tspn of sugar.
  6. -TO MAKE THE BEER-.
  7. Put 1 litre of the water and the sugar in a saucpan.
  8. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  9. Take off the heat and add the rest of the water and the lemon juice.
  10. Without disturbing the sediment, strain the ginger beer bug liquid through 2 layers of scalded muslin.
  11. Add this liquid to the sugared water.
  12. Pour the mixture into clean bottles, cap tightly and leave to stand for 2 days, or until it starts to fizz.
  13. After this, it must be kept in a cool place or the fridge to prevent the tops blowing.
  14. I use a sterilizing powder obtained from home brew shops to sterilize my bottles.
  15. After making the beer divide the sediment in the jar into two.
  16. You now have 2 bugs to feed and can double the beer recipe.
  17. As you double the bugs each time you increase the number of bottles you can produce.
  18. After all available surfaces are covered with bug jars and you are swamped with beer you can give the extra bugs away to get others on the treadmill.
