    nappy bucket is what i am using.
  • Tremendous!! ;D

    I made gallons of this as a kid, and sold it at fetes and bring and buys (for charity). Don't suppose that would be allowed now :(

    Might get my own kids making it again now I have the recipe again.

    Regards

  • Naughty Mummy scaring baby into bucket of ginger beer!!

    ;D ;D ;D

    How about, anyone who's not got a big container could start it off (only need 1.5 pint container at first) - whilst they have fun shopping for the 8 pint container during the first week. Or, just use your kitchen bowl or something for the 5 minutes it takes to add the water and sugar at the end of the first week, then store it in empty drink bottles.

    I have just realised that it could seem quite cruel to be laughing at the little one - but obviously he was not hurt.

    It reminds me of my daughters - i would endlessly say " that will hurt you do NOT touch - ten times later HOWL :):):):)

    Aren't kids funny!   :D

    Son, aged about 13 (!!!) at the time, watched me ironing, switch off iron and put back on stand to cool.  "Is it hot he asked me" (after I've just ironed!!) so I told him to touch it and find out ...  ;)  :o

    Anyone else done their ginger beer yet?

    It's been a week so I made it up to 8 pints and now I've stored it in a big plastic bottle for another week to "mature". Yum yum can't wait.... (DH was grumbling the other day that I hadn't got any left and he's got to wait a week for some more, so looks like I'll have to keep up a production line now)
