Starkey's Ginger Beer

Ingredients:
6 L water
1.5 tsp yeast
1.3 tsp tartaric acid
500 grams white sugar
1.3 tsp cream of tartar
1.5 tbs ground ginger (or 4cm fresh grated ginger)
1 x egg white and Shell of one egg (crazy but true)

You will also need: 1 x Large very clean bucket or very large pot (to hold over 6L); 1 x Strainer; 11 x 600mL bottles or 5 x 1.25L bottles. Wash and reuse bottles that were from carbonated drinks (bottle made for non-carbonated drinks will not work)

Mix all ingredients in a bucket, l
et stand for 3 hours, strain and bottle,
leave for 3-5 days or until you can’t squeeze the bottles (this means there are enough bubbles), place in fridge, chill and pour into a glass, garnish with mint (optional) and drink.


Cheers!
