Brewing up a storm

So tonight i decided to try my hamd at some gingerbeer again since i haven't made it in a while. The process is simple but does require some prep work so tonjght i decided to start by making a ginger bug.

A ginger bug is simply a starter mixture used to ferment the larger batch of beer. It's made by pixing some chopped up ginger with sugar and water. I used 2 tsp of each ginger and sugar along with 1 cup of water. Every day for the next week or so i have to mix in some more ginger and sugar until the mixture becomes nice and bubbly.

The big difference in this batch compared to previous ones is i am going to try and measure the alcohol content using a  hydrometer.
