Ginger Beer Recipe

• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (you can adjust to taste)
• 1 1/2 cups peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 2 quarts cold water, divided
• 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried champagne yeast

1. Mix sugar, ginger, and 4 cups water in saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour to steep.
2. Strain syrup through strainer and funnel into 2-liter soda bottle. Add lime juice. Fill with cold water to within 2 inches of top. Cap and cool in refrigerator or ice bath until about 65u0b0F.
3. Add 1/4 teaspoon champagne yeast. (Reserve remaining yeast for next batch.) Cap bottle and let stand at room temperature for about 2 days, checking bottle pressure intermittently by squeezing it or releasing the cap slightly and briefly.
4. When ginger beer has achieved desired carbonation level, refrigerate. Serve and enjoy!
