Haven't seen anyone post this but I did only skim, so apologies if it's here already.
The following recipe makes a real nice summery ginger beer, not quite as potent as a
Jamaican ginger beer but still drinkable.
For a 5 litre demijohn I add -
5 tablespoons of grated root ginger
The juice of 2.5 lemons
2.5 tablespoons of honey
500g caster sugar
1 teaspoon yeast
Ferment as usual, after a month or so bottle up.
I bottle mine into wine bottles so use 1.5 teaspoons for carbonation and 1 teaspoon of a sweetener for, well.....sweetness.
Leave for a week in the warm, then at least a week in the cold and blammo..
Should be around 8-9% mark

My GF usually makes a ginger bug using natural yeasts, I never thought to add some do you use brewer's or bakers?
Otherwise that looks tasty, will have to try it. She's Jamaican and we already love
Jamaican ginger beers (so does her father XD)
