Ginger Beer (easy)

"I love Ginger beer (stronger than Ginger Ale). So I searched the web looking for a recipe, since I was into home brewing regular beer at the time. I have used this for years to make small batches. I have some of those Grolsch flip top beer bottles PERFECT for making this. DO NOT leave out over 48 hours. I have NEVER had a bottle explode on me, and never want one to either. This recipe make one 16 oz. bottle of Ginger beer, so adjust the recipe per required amount. I don't have a juicer, so making ginger juice is not a real option for me. I usually just use the blender with the ginger, and a bit of the water to make a puree. Sure it makes your ginger beer with some "stuff" in it, but it give it that home made look! You can strain it in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you don't like that. I have used beer yeast in this with good results, have never tried brewers yeast as I understand it gives a more yeasty taste. I actually use a little more ginger than this calls for because I like the extra "bite" it gives."
