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 hate trying to search for specific things on amazon because negative operators don’t work. I’m frequently trying to find products that don’t contain specific words. Like when I wanted a foam mattress cover that wasn’t cooling. I need all the heat I can get when sleeping. But trying to find one that wasn’t marketed as cooling? No such luck. I tried using search engines that honor negatives but no such luck. Amazon has thwarted every attempt to find what I want.
