4l of unchlorinated water

Method:

Preparation

Add the nettle tips to the water and boil for a full half hour. Strain the liquid into a new pan, add the sugar and stir to dissolve before adding the ginger. Pour into a sterile container (a brewer's bucket is good), cover and allow to cool to lukewarm.

When the mixture has cooled to about 40°C spread the yeast on the toast and float this on the top of the nettle liquid. Cover the bucket with a cloth and place in a warm draft-free spot for three days to top ferment. Strain the liquid after 3 days then pour the mixture into clean bottles to about 1.5 cm of the top. Cap the bottles and place these on their sides in a warm and draft-free spot.

The nettle beer will be ready to drink in about 5 days, but will keep quite well for an entire summer.
