Adapted from https://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2632604/old-fashioned-ginger-beer-recipe

Ingredients

• 8 lbs of sugar
• 5-6 ozs of ginger root, sliced very thin
• 5 gallons of water
• 10-12 lemons/limes

This turned out really well! Maybe a little too sweet, but it’s been a great mixer with gin, at least. Brewing this made the house smell awesome.

One thing we weren’t sure about was alcohol content. We pitched yeast in the wort, like a beer, and there was certainly enough sugar for fermentation… so I guess it has booze? 🤷‍♀️
