firstlings

first attempt at ginger beer --- had to start over on the bug, but got it right when i used organic ginger ---

the beer may wind up way too strong if it doesn't explode first

½ lb of ginger root
1½ c of water
1 c sugar
~1 ½ c ginger bug

topped off with water to make a half gallon

i think, but i can never be sure since i'm always starting a recipe, changing it as i go along, and then fergittin what the changes were

after a friend told me hers exploded all over her kitchen, i decided to stick them all in the heavy-duty ice chest, just in case
