• Heat 2.5 litres of water then add dextrose, malt, lemons & ginger & simmer for 20 minutes.
• Sterilize your fermenter according to directions on the sterilizing compound.
• Add about 4 litres of cold water into your fermenter. Pour the hot mixture (3l + 500ml cold water) through a straining bag into the fermenter.
• Top up with cold water to the 8 litre mark (if required) add the yeast nutrient & stir well.
• Make sure the temperature is 30C or less & add the yeast, fit a fermentation lock in the lid of the fermenter & half fill it with water.
• The fermentation should start within 24 hours although it usually ony takes a couple of hours to start. When it starts, bubbles should be rising through the ginger beer & stream through the water in the airlock.
• Allow the ginger beer to ferment until it stops then allow it to settle & clear for 48 hours.
