      Title: Home-Made Ginger Beer
 Categories: Polkadot, Faylen, Beverages, Brewing
      Yield: 1 Gallon
 
      2 oz Fresh ginger
      2    Lemons
      1 ts Cream of tartar
      1 lb Sugar
      1 ga Boiling water
      1 oz Yeast
 
  This home-brew remains a favourite party drink in a Welsh household
  for both adults and children.  You will need eight pint bottles or
  four quart bottles.  They should be of a strong material and have
  firm caps with metal springs to imprison the effervescent liquid -
  it's more explosive than champagne.  Makes 1 gallon.
  
  Roughly crush the ginger root.  Wash and slice the lemons into thick
  rings. Put the ginger, lemon, cream of tartar and sugar in a large
  bowl. Pour the boiling water over.  Stir and leave to cool to blood
  temperature. Stir in the yeast.  Leave to ferment for 24 hours.  Skim
  off the yeast. Strain and bottle the liquid.  Leave for three days
  before broaching it.
