Ironic I just posted a link to this earlier for someone, although it for was the grapefruit more than the ginger. I think on the next to the last page I have some pics and comments about using the ginger though, so just ignore the grapefruit stuff if your not interested in that.

There's a very popular ginger in the recipes database but I can't seem to find it. Brewed it for my girlfriend and we both loved it. I think there's something about winning 3rd BOS in the title.

This is a recipe from an 1861 book from Toronto :
Superior Ginger Beer
Take of sugar 10 lbs., lemon juice 9 oz., honey 1/2 lb., bruised ginger root 11 oz., water 9 galls., yeast 3 pints, boil the ginger in the water until the strength is all extracted, which you may tell be tasting the root, then pour it into a tub, throwing the roots away, let it stand until nearly luke warm, then put in all the rest of the ingredients, stir well until all dissolved, cover it over with a cloth, and if it be in the evening, let it remain until next morning, then strain through cloth, and bottle it, and in a short time it will be fit for use. Some use less sugar, and some less lemon juice, to make it with less expense; but it is not so elegant a drink as this.
Obviously you scale it to home brew needs, I added orange peels the last fifteen. Ignore bottle directions hear, I may add stevia to sweeten will carb wt dextrose
