Home fermented ginger beer is the best of all. Easy entry level project too.

Yes. Also Blenheim Ginger Ale is good. This was my attempt to clone their good stuff. Not perfect but really close.

9.5 oz (net weight) of peeled ginger 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 cups + 6 cups water 1/4 tsp yeast (white wine or champagne is best but bread yeast will do)

  • place the peeled ginger into a food processor
  • blend until creamy
  • add the ginger, sugar, lemon juice and the two cups of water in a sauce pan
  • turn the heat on to high and stir until sugar is dissolved
  • bring to a boil
  • place lid on the pot and lower the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes
  • remove from heat
  • cover and let rest for 1 hour
  • strain it through a fine strainer or cheese cloth and a funnel into a plastic two liter bottle
  • add in the rest of the water
  • use an ice bath or time let it cool to 70f
  • add the yeast, be sure to proof your yeast first
  • put the lid on the bottle
  • shake it up
  • replace the lid with some foil or an air lock
  • let rest for 24-48 hours at room temp
  • place it in the refrigerator to stop fermentation
  • release the gas every day to avoid it from exploding

I make mine with a ginger bug. I put the recipe in the non alcoholic thread in the cocktails community. So sort of a sweet ginger lemonade fermented with the natural yeast in the ginger, until it's less sweet.
