A change of plans at the last minute so no ginger beer was made yesterday. I'm sorry that I can't follow this through with you but if you go here to an old post of mine, you'll see how to finish it off. Make sure you have signs of fermentation before you bottle it and remember, you can add as much or as little sugar as you desire. Served cold, it's a delicious drink.I'm taking a few days off to spend with my family, and to rest. I want to thank you all for your visits throughout the year and for the thoughtful and helpful comments you made. A really beautiful feeling has been created around this blog and I have you all to thank for it. When I come here to post or moderate comments it's like visiting a village full of friendly faces. I have made a lot of friends through this blog and I'm grateful for that because we are all changed for the better by good friends.
So whether you celebrate a Christian Christmas, a secular holiday, the winter|summer solstice or the many golden moments that come our way at this time of year, I hope you enjoy yourself and the people who are part of your life. I wish you all peace, joy and goodwill and I hope you'll join me back here soon.
I hope your holidays are the best! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
