Re: made ginger beer today



Sounds like a nice and simple recipe, evan. I'll have to try it.
The ginger here is a lot like Jamaican ginger - sweet , fresh and top quality. A few years ago they used to sell a lot of Chinese ginger in the markets, but you don't see it so oftern these days. I guess the local ginger is reasonable enough to withstand the external competition.


Getting ready for the Panafest, evan? Did everything work out OK with the room?

Re: made ginger beer today

That sounds like it should taste good. How long can you store it in the fridge?

Re: made ginger beer today


Hi Tulip! I think it stores for a few days in the fridge.

@evanovitch.......sorry to hear that. Oh well, maybe it can be the Sumfest this year and the Panafest next year.

If you decide upon that plan, I could try myself to make a booking for you in plenty of time so that you wouldn't be disappointed. But if you change your mind and decided to come this year, you could always come and spend a night or 2 at my place before proceeding to Cape Coast to see what you could find there. I hear the YWCA in Cape Coast is a pretty decent place with inexpensive rooms.
Too bad Accra isn't closer to Cape Coast and Elmina.

What's good on your side of the pond MsPeaches.

If it lasts a few days, that sounds like a plan.
