HOMEBREW GINGER BEER
I've developed this recipe over a long period of time, but it's all flexible... start with this recipe, and develop it on your own. Variations abound. NOTE: I always make this recipe in 2 Litre plastic water bottles. Some people say you shouldn't do this, but I have no idea why - always works perfectly for me.

Steps:
- Take about a half-cup of warm water, and mix with sugar. Then sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit.
- Boil about 2 litres of water.
- Peel the ginger root and cut into smaller pieces.
- When water has been brought to a boil, add the ginger root, cloves, and anise. I like to put the cloves in a small tea ball so i can remove them easily later.
- Boil for 30 minutes. Then remove ginger root and cloves.
- Dissolve 3/4 - 1 cup of sugar in the brew.
- Let the brew cool until it is tepid (ie won't kill the yeast). Then add they yeast mixture to it.
- Now pour the mixture into a 2 litre plastic bottle. Top up with water. Make sure you leave between 5-8cm of air in the top. Play with this amount -- you'll find you get more pressure if you leave the air inches.
- Now leave in a warmish place for about 1 day. Watch it carefully the first time - wait until the pressure has built up, then refrigerate.
- Leave in the fridge for at least 2 days. If you leave it in longer, you'll get more pressure -- I usually leave it at least 2 weeks, but it can stay in there for 2 months. Still, it will continue to gain pressure in the refrigerator.
- When you open the bottle, be very CAREFUL! The pressure should be very high by this time. It's best to do it over the sink or outside, and do NOT aim at anyone! If you cover the cap while you open it, it will muffle the "pop". Instead, don't cover the top of the cap, but only touch the sides of the cap while you open it. In this way, it will fire like a gun.
- If you've got good pressure, it will bubble out like champagne, so have glasses on hand ot pour right away!

- Hefeweizen – The German-style wheat beer is often a “gateway beer” for beginning brewers. The traditional weizen yeast strain produces flavors of banana and clove.
- Brown Ale – Brown ale can be a great middle-of-the-road homebrew to enjoy year-round. It’s a malty brew, but the hop character can vary depending on your taste.
- Stout – Stout may be the most forgiving of beer styles, due in part to the roasty malt flavors and dark color that come the use of from chocolate malt, black malt, and roasted barley.
- Kölsch – Kölsch is a great option for the homebrewer who enjoys a lighter, more delicate beer. It’s about the closest thing to a light lager while still being an ale, featuring a clear, golden color, a respectably prominent hop flavor, and a crisp, dry finish.
- Chipotle Porter – All beginning brewers reach a point where they want to branch out and experiment. If you like spicy foods, then this beer recipe is a great option.

- Triple Lindy. As you may see, this Belgian Triple requires two grains and some cane sugar so it sits smoothly on the pallet. If done correctly, the Triple Lindy should be a pale beer that’s spicy and subtly malty — it should also yield in a high alcohol content.
- Irish Stout. This stout takes about four weeks to brew, and it’s also a recipe for advanced beer makers. The brewer/blogger says this is great for St. Patty’s as long as it’s done in advance.
- Blackberry Stout. If you like blackberries and dark beers, then this is a recipe to try out! Like any modern beer, the flavor of this recipe relies on hops!
- All Grain Beer. Grain beer is usually a challenge to brew. If it’s your first time, don’t expect too much of yourself. Use the process as a learning experience.
- Dark Brett Saison with Candied Figs, Star Anise, Cinnamon and Sweet Orange Peel. Saison is a nineteenth century Belgian beer which is now broadly interpreted as a pale ale.
