"Mix 1 1/2 pounds of white sugar with 3 ounces of grated ginger.
Grate the rinds of two lemons and add.  Place these ingredients
in a large crock and pour 2 gallons of boiling water over them.
When this cools to lukewarm, strain and add the juice of the
lemons and 2 heaping tablespoons of strong yeast.  Make the beer
in the evening, let it stand over night, then pour into jars 
or tightly corked bottles in the morning."
