Woke up this morning to check my brew under the cupboard. 2 liter bottle was swelled up so tight it felt like a rock. Nobody told me this thing was explosive... Well I released the pressure and screwed the cap on a quarter of the way. Now I get to wait another 12 hours.

Got home yesterday and the bottle was hissing like a time bomb. I filtered a drink through a coffee filter and it tasted pretty good. I added 1 tablespoon of sugar and put it in the fridge. Woke up this morning and the bottle was good and tight but not rock hard. I think its ready, I just need to strain it and drink.

I just make a "virgin" batch

2-1/2 LBs peeled ginger root.
Liquify in blender or food processor for 3 minutes with 1-2 cups water. (whatever will fit in your machine)

Strain and squeeze the pulp into a pitcher or bowl.
Return pulp to blender/processor and add 1 cup water. Liquify again and strain into pitcher.

Do again (4 cups water total)
Add 2-1/2 to 3 cups sugar to taste.
Add 1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice.
Serve over ice.

Or you can cut it with Ginger ale, soda water, or add a little vodka or rum.

Excellent!
