The best ginger ale in the >world is Canada Dry. 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) -- rod williams | {ihnp4,dual}!ptsfa!ptsfc!rjw ------------------------------------------- pacific bell | san ramon | california
