Bump... Any Crabbies clones or Ginger beers? Its summer and the lady friend is jonesing. I found one on BS that looked good... it was straight 2 row, german SafAle, two additions of ginger in the boil and one after 7 days of fermentation.
 
This is a very late reply, but I made a Sparkling Ginger Wine last year based on a recipe from America's oldest cookbook, The Virginia Housewife: Or, Methodical Cook by Mary Randolph (1838). Here is the page her recipe is on, I used the Wyeast Trappist yeast, which got it very bubbly, and lots of ginger.

Here is a pre-cooking picture:

And the result:

I think I'm going to try this again with some more spices this year, and some more effort into clarifying it.
