 Ginger Beer is quite a different substance than Ginger Ale. I remember
 making GB years ago - it involves "growing" a "plant" of grated ginger,
 yeast, sugar and water - but I don't remember the proportions or
 frequency of "feeding" or what to do with it when it's ready...sorry.

 Correction - the best Ginger Ale in the world is Schweppes - Canada Dry
 is too sweet and too flat...icky (|-P)
