What is a ginger beer plant?

Simply put, it’s a ‘factory’ for ginger beer! It’s actually a culture of yeast that you feed every so often (details below), and you can then tap for fresh ginger beer! It’s not quite that simple, but the rest of this guide will detail exactly how to make and maintain your ginger beer plant, as well as how to sue it to make the final drink!
What you will need:

* To start off the ginger beer plant:
1/2 ounce Brewer's Yeast
1 teaspoonful granulated sugar
1 teaspoonful ground ginger
* 250 ml tepid water (about 20 degrees Celsius)
* Jam Jar

To maintain your ginger beer plant:

* Additional ginger
* Additional sugar

To make ginger beer from your plant:

* 4 lemons
* 390 grams of sugar.
* 1.2 litres cups boiling water
* Cold water.
* Muslin

Stage one: Making the ginger Beer plant:

1. Put the yeast into the tepid water and gently mix.
2. Put the sugar and ginger into the Jam Jar, and then gently pour in the water and the yeast, slowly mixing back and forth as you do.
3. Place a lid on the Jam Jar to prevent debris from falling into your ginger beer plant, but do not make it airtight or it will explode and you’ll have to make it all over again… once you get back from A&E!
4. Leave the Jar somewhere warm, such as an airing cupboard (about 20 degrees Celsius)

Stage two: Building up the culture.

All you need to do here is add a teaspoon of sugar and a half teaspoon of ginger each day. After making your first batch of beer from the plant, you may want to add more of less ginger, or more or less sugar. The above amounts are only a guide! Once your ginger beer plant has been ‘growing’ for five to seven days, you are ready to proceed to the next stage
Stage three: Making the ginger beer.

1. Juice the lemons into a large bowl with the sugar. Stir well.
2. Add the boiling water and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Be with the hot water!
3. Add cold water to the mix and keep stirring to even out the temperature. Again, aim for about 20 degrees Celsius, but a few degrees either side won’t matter too much.
4. Put the Muslin or other strainer over the mouth of your Ginger beer plant’s Jam jar and strain the liquid out into the bowl. Mix well.
5. Bottle the ginger beer and leave for about an hour and a half to two hours before sealing. Then leave them in the warm for a few days to build up pressure (and fizz!).
6. Drink at your leisure. You can also put them in the fridge after the few days to ferment have passed, allowing you to enjoy your ginger beer cold.

Stage four:

Remove half of your ginger beer plant, and either set it up in a new jar (Possibly to give to a friend) or throw it away. Then add water sugar and ginger to start the process again. Remember, you can alter the amount of ginger and sugar according to taste.

I recommend that you only use plastic screw top bottles, as glass bottles can shatter under the pressure when sealed.

Hope this will guide you and help you when you want to make microbrewing ginger beer by yourself.This recipe about microbrewing ginger beer is great and my opinion is that everybody must try it and taste the quality that it has.
