This is not 'beer' as most think of it. There is no alcohol involved. This popular drink is usually made around Christmas time in the Caribbean, but can be enjoyed whole year round. Found at Squidoo website for Caribbean recipes. Note it steeps for 1 WEEK. This is the 7 day 'cook time'.

HOMEMADE GINGER BEER

Homemade Ginger Beer image

To get the full aromatic flush and fizzy burn of fresh ginger, you have to make your own ginger beer. It is amazingly simple. There's no sterilization needed, and this method is forgiving - you can actually play about with the levels and ingredients. Moreover, the resulting ginger beer blows anything else you've ever had straight out of contention. Take a pinch of packaged yeast and something acidic for the yeast to thrive in (like lemon or lime juice or cream of tartar) along with some sugar syrup and grated ginger, lob it all in a plastic bottle of distilled or spring water, shake it up and stash it somewhere dark and warm for two days. After two days you stop the fermentation by chilling it in the fridge. That's it. The result is a cloudy, dry mixer with pinprick carbonation and a straight-up goose of fresh ginger. That is thrilling come dark 'n' stormy hour, not just for its authenticity and superior flavor but also because you can now brag about your homemade ginger beer.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 ounces freshly grated ginger
4 ounces lemon juice
6 ounces simple syrup
1/8 teaspoon commercial baker's, brewer's or Red Star Pasteur Champagne yeast
20 ounces non-chlorinated water (filtered, distilled or spring)
1 to 4 grams cream of tartar (not necessary, but traditional, to help the yeast and bacteria thrive).

Steps:

Take a 1.5-liter plastic bottle of spring water and empty it into a clean pitcher. Use some of it to make simple syrup by stirring 1/2 pound sugar into 1 cup hot water until fully dissolved.
In a large measuring cup, mix all ingredients and stir well. Funnel back into the plastic bottle and cap tightly. Store in a warm, dark place for 24 to 48 hours. (I put mine inside a box, to contain it if it should blow.) The top of the bottle will expand and become tight. Check it and very slowly release the pressure if it's looking groaningly tight. Some people ferment it with no top, or with the top on loosely, to allow gas to escape. I suppose if you wanted to get fancy you could spend $1.50 on a fermentation lock and stop worrying about it. If the temperature is quite warm, above 80F, a single day may be sufficient. The longer you let it ferment, the drier the final mix will be.
After 48 hours, refrigerate it to stop the fermentation. Once chilled, you can strain out the pulp and dead yeast, which will have made a sediment on the bottom. Makes 1 liter and will keep up to a week in the refrigerator.

Tips:

Select Jamaican ginger for an authentic flavor. It has a milder spiciness compared to other ginger varieties.
Grate the ginger finely to extract maximum flavor and avoid large chunks in your ginger beer.
Use a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to separate the ginger and lemon juice from the solids, ensuring a smooth and clear ginger beer.
Control the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of sugar or honey added. Taste and adjust according to your preference.
Let the ginger beer ferment in a warm place for at least 24 hours, allowing the beneficial bacteria to create carbonation and develop a complex flavor.
Store the ginger beer in sterilized bottles with airtight lids to maintain carbonation and prevent spoilage.
