ginger beer!

I don't know why I felt the need to take pictures of the whole process, but I did

grating the skin of two lemons and a large ginger root

lemon, ginger root and sugar in an air-tight plastic barrel

with water and yeast added... yes, it looks appetizing, I know. Then left for apox. 48 hours

rinsing and sterilizing glass bottles with water and thin bleach (then rinsing again, thoroughly!)

'priming' the bottles - adding a half-tea-spoon of sugar to each empty bottle before adding the beer. This lets the drink continue carbonating in the bottle

filling the bottles from the barrel above on the worktop with a simple hose - the pressure feeds the beer into the bottle easily...

...well, except for the last bit which I filtered and poured by hand

capping the bottles with fresh crown caps

and the finished crop: roughly 15 pints of ginger beer :)
