Ginger Beer

My first attempt at home brew - has now been bottled and I am (im)patiently awaiting the end of next week when it will be ready for tasting... 

Pretty straightforward, boil up a premixed kit with water, add yeast and leave in a warm place (20-30 degs celcius) for a couple of weeks until fermentation complete (ie it stops bubbling), add the ginger flavoring (sachet), + 2 days, bottle (I used PET Coopers bottles this time as they were easy) with 2 carbonation drops (but you can just use sugar). 










Grapefruit Marmalade

Home grown grapefruits, lemons and oranges

I used mostly grapefruits (yellow, not pink), and raw sugar in this batch and the result seems to be much darker marmalade, compared to the previous lot, which was mostly made of oranges (with grapefruit and lemon as the support act), with ordinary white sugar, see below:
