| 1 | Mix the sugar with the grated ginger. |
| 2 | Grate the rinds of the lemons and add to the mixture. |
| 3 | Place these ingredients in a large crock and pour 2 gallons of boiling water over them. |
| 4 | When this cools to lukewarm, strain and add the juice of the lemons and 2 heaping teaspoons of strong yeast. |
| 5 | Make the beer in the evening, let it stand over night, then pour into jars or tightly corked bottles in the morning. |
| 6 | Note: obviously you cannot pour the mixture into tightly corked bottles. |
| 7 | I believe the author means that you should tightly seal the jars or bottles after filling them. |
| 8 | What the author leaves unsaid is how long to let the yeast work after sealing the containers. |
| 9 | The mixture may or not blow up before serving so handle with care. |
