3 TBLS grated Ginger
3 TBLS Sugar
1 TBLS Molasses
4 Cups Filtered Water

Combine
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 TBLS Molasses
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
3 TBLS Grated Ginger
4 Cups Filtered Water
Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 45 minutes. Let come to room temperature. Add the Ginger Bug, Mix and place in a mason jar with lid. (this is what Ive done, when it carbonates I release the lid a little and then tighten it up again. After I do this for a couple of days-let carbonation build up, then I put into the Grolsh bottles and refrigerate)

Thank you for that recipe.

Years ago, the community college auditorium had one of those soda machines that mixed the syrup and soda water as it dispensed into your cup of ice.
Well, it seems the Mountain Dew syrup fermented in the machine. That was some good stuff till the staff found out about it!

When I was young I used to make root beer from Hiers(sp) extract bought at the drug store. Comes with the instructions.

We used to do that too----the forgotten bottles under the stairs with a little more kick to them were always a treat!

Is this ginger ale strength or ginger beer strength? Thank you.
And I've just started to be interested in doing this, so I'm afraid that I don't have any recipes to share. I'd love a good one for birch beer from scratch.
Ginger Beer strength
I have made ginger beer from a " ginger bug " . Great stuff. May have to experiment to get the right recipe. Some of mine have come out too sweet, not sweet enough, and some times kind of champagne tasting. Try a few and write down the recipe to save if it is one you like and re- produce. Here are a couple videos of ginger beer recipes.
