The REAL ginger beer recipe!

Step 3Scalding the ginger & grating

Scalding the ginger & grating
This step is only for those using fresh ginger root. The reason for scalding is to kill any bugs. Give it a quick wash then drop it in a saucepan of boiling water for a minute or less. Watch your fingers after you drain the water away - it's still damn hot.

My pictures show 2x2" of ginger. I'm doubling the quantities in my recipe as I'm making twice the amount so I get twice the ginger beer plant so I can send it to twice the people. My next batch will be 5 gallons!!!

Grate the ginger finely
