Is it ale-ing?

The ginger ale has been created as per Alton Brown's instructions. Now it is a waiting game. Forty-eight hours from now I'll know.

One thing I did discover, maybe that ginger grater is an essential tool. I used my Microplane grater, it wasn't pretty. ;) So maybe AB should have included a scene where he used the Microplane with poor results and the ginger grater with better results. If he tells me why I need a tool, I usually trust him... if he makes his case. ;)

If you put plastic wrap over the small rasps on a box grater it works equally well as a ginger grater...and is not a unitasker.

Hi Eli! Thanks for stopping by.

I did that once and totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. I don't work a lot with freash ginger. If this drink is good, I will be making more and certainly using my box grater!
