If you do the math 6 litires of water is to much to fill 6 750mm bottles hence the ginger beer was a little flat and watery should be 4.5 litres of boiling and cold water add total

I made this recipe and decided to try it after a week of fermenting and it had already become alcoholic ginger beer. I made this for my family and so now they can't have it and I've made two batches. Please change the name of the recipe or the fermentation time

Doesn't really taste much like ginger beer, it was really watered downOne question:Is this alcoholic?

Very easy, found that water as per recipe was too much. Does this recipe require ‘purging' daily?CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, no it doesn't :-)

Great recipe. I used a different one recipe for the bug stage but the recipe for making the ginger beer is great. Just a tip, if you don't know what to do with leftover bug you can add it to a soup

Good recipe, but one litre of water is counted twice. If you make it with 1l boiling and 4l cold, it works and the quantity is right.

Looks good. WE used to make this when I was young in the 1950's. Same process. Screw top plastic soda bottles are good so you get no explosions :-)
Bug Fill a large glass jar ¾ full with warm water. Add the yeast, Chelsea Raw Sugar and ginger. Cover loosely with a lid or tea-towel - do not screw tight or it won't be able to breathe. Sit in a warm place, such as the kitchen table or similar.
Feed your bug every day for seven days with 1 tsp Chelsea Raw Sugar and 1 tsp ground ginger.
After a week, you are ready to make your first batch of beer.
Ginger Beer In a large bowl or bucket, put the Chelsea Raw Sugar and cream of tartar, then add the boiling water. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water. Get your bug and pour all the liquid (not the sludge in the bottom) into a bucket and add the lemon juice.
Stir well and then pour into your clean bottles - it makes six 750ml bottles.
Store in a cool, dark place for two weeks before drinking. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape.
Restore and Reuse Take the jar with the sludge in it and fill with water to the top. Tip out half or give to a friend so that they can make their own bug. Fill back up to ¾ and feed for another week.
Don't Neglect It If you are too busy to make a batch of ginger beer one week, don't just keep feeding and hope for the best, as your bug won't survive. Pour it out after a week - as you would if you were making some ginger beer - and follow the above instructions for restoring your bug all over again.
If you do the math 6 litires of water is to much to fill 6 750mm bottles hence the ginger beer was a little flat and watery should be 4.5 litres of boiling and cold water add total
