Does anyone have a proven Ginger Beer Recipe?
Preferably a fizzy one.
I really like the taste of IDRIS Jamacan Ginger Beer but would like to create a tasty version of my own without the additives.

Its easy. Just grate some fresh ginger, simmer it in simple syrup (sugar and water) and add the syrup to sparkling water. I make it all of the time. You can add mint, orange extract, lemon, lime, etc to adjust the flavor. Yummy. That way you avoid the phosphuric acid, and sodium benzoate in most sodas, as well as the artificial colors
Put ginger person in beer.

Try the following
Ginger Beer
450g (1lb) Sugar
4.5lt (8 pints) Water
1 Lemon
40g (1?oz) Root Ginger
25g (1 oz) Cream of Tartar
25g (1 oz) Brewers or Wine Yeast
Bruise the ginger (wrap in a clean cloth - hit with hammer) to release flavour.
Finely peel the lemon, removing only the outer waxy layer and squeeze the juice.
Place the ginger, lemon rind and cream of tartar into a bucket or large bowl.
Pour over the boiling water, add the lemon juice and stir well.
Allow to cool to about 21°C (70°F), remove a little of the liquid and mix with the yeast, stir the yeast mixture into the liquid.
Cover the container with a clean cloth (ensuring that the cloth cannot come into contact with the liquid) and secure with string or elastic.
Leave in a warm place 21°C (70°F) for 24 hours.
Strain the liquid through a fine cloth or skim off the froth and use a jug to bale out the liquid (being careful not to disturb the sediment).
Pour the ginger beer into strong bottles and cork.
Secure the corks with wire, leaving a little gap for possible expansion
Store the bottle in a cool dark place.
If the corks begin to rise, release the wire slightly and re-secure.
The beer should be ready to drink after 2 - 3 days.
