Quote: We made ours with about an inch long piece of ginger, peeled and chopped in small pieces, thrown together with 2 quarts of water and brought to a boil, then poured the ginger water on top of a pound of sugar (brown sugar should work well, I used plain white and some "fariinisokeri" which is way browner than your brown sugar). Then grated the zest of two limes, and the juice of 3 limes and a lemon into it, and added another 2 quarts of cold water. Once the concoction was down to 42C, I added about a tenth of a teaspoon of dry bakers yeast, and let it sit for about 36 hours with a loose lid in room temperature. We just now bottled the stuff (and strained it while doing so), and I'll leave it on the counter in room temperature over night or possibly 24 hours before transferring to the fridge. We'll see how it turns out, this is my first time making it myself.
Al, the moon's gravitational pull on such a small body of fluid would barely even be measurable, I doubt you would see much of a spike in birth dates during full moons.
Our trail cam is set again, Hilma should be checking on her young within a few hours.
