So If it ferments that means it's got
a little pain releiver in it?

How do you force carbonate something?

Julie

: Grate 2 pounds of ginger and put it in some kind of straining bag inside a
: plastic pot. Add 3 gallons of boiling water, cover, and let sit overnight
: (I usually wrap some insulation around the pot). Strain off the beer
: (there's a really thick, viscous liquid at the bottom that I try to avoid)
: and add the juice of 4-6 limes, 15 squirts of Angostura bitters
: (optional), and sugar to taste (I use a light pound but the recipe my
: Jamaican friend gave me calls for 2 pounds). At this point I put it in a
: keg, refridgerate it, and then force-carbonate the next day. You could cut
: down the recipe and just put it in jars in the refridgerator (it'll lack
: carbonation but this is how it's done in Jamaica). It'll ferment and lose
: a lot of the ginger flavor if you don't keep it cold.

: I know 2 pounds ginger to 3 gallons water sounds like too much, but try it at
: that concentration - it's really good. It's a lot hotter than what you
: typically get in *domestic* bottled Jamaican-style ginger beer. And it
: makes you wonder how something like Canada Dry "Ginger" Ale even
: deserves the word ginger in the name.
