18th Century Ginger Beer

I really, really enjoy this Youtube Channel: The Townsends. It does mainly deal with food in Colonial America but as beer was mostly made at home it is a subject that comes up frequently. It is really interesting to see how brewing has changed through the ages, and how much of it has actually stayed the same. In reality the advancements in brewing have mainly be in sanitation, and volume. Bring a 19th century brewer forward in time to today and I don't think he (or more likely she, as Brewing was a housewife's job) would be lost for very long. So check this video out for a Ginger flavoured Small beer, you will be surprised how approachable home brewing is.
