      Yes. Also Blenheim Ginger Ale is good. This was my attempt to clone their good stuff. Not perfect but really close.

      9.5 oz (net weight) of peeled ginger 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 cups + 6 cups water 1/4 tsp yeast (white wine or champagne is best but bread yeast will do)

      • place the peeled ginger into a food processor
      • blend until creamy
      • add the ginger, sugar, lemon juice and the two cups of water in a sauce pan
      • turn the heat on to high and stir until sugar is dissolved
      • bring to a boil
      • place lid on the pot and lower the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes
      • remove from heat
      • cover and let rest for 1 hour
      • strain it through a fine strainer or cheese cloth and a funnel into a plastic two liter bottle
      • add in the rest of the water
      • use an ice bath or time let it cool to 70f
      • add the yeast, be sure to proof your yeast first
      • put the lid on the bottle
      • shake it up
      • replace the lid with some foil or an air lock
      • let rest for 24-48 hours at room temp
      • place it in the refrigerator to stop fermentation
      • release the gas every day to avoid it from exploding
