The new Ginger Beer Plant arrived last week, liberally flattened by Royal Mail.
I set up a starter batch (just sugar and lemon juice) as soon as I could and when I returned from a weekend break it was bubbling merrily away.
I’ve just started the first brew from it, will let you know how I get on with it!
The first image is before I added the ginger, the 2nd is after!
My ginger beer plant is dead. I’ve done something silly with it and have had to reorder.
If you want to order your own, you can always do so from sites such as gingerbeerplant.net
Ginger beer tip:
If you want really hot ginger beer add a chili – it’ll blow your socks off but is so, so very nice 
Well the time was finally here to make some ginger beer!
http://www.instructables.co.uk/id/The-REAL-ginger-beer-recipe/
So I made an instructable at the same time. Since it’s the first time I’d made it, I’ve really got my fingers crossed. By the way so far I have three people awaiting samples of ginger beer plant, so don’t forget to ask for some in the comments here (rather than instructables).
To satisfy demand I’m actually going to make 5g of ginger beer next week and let people pass judgment at the RALGA plant sale.
I guess I better get some paper cups for people sample with!
I'm Tim, a 29yr old ex-Allotmenteer. My wife and I used to have a small 5 rod plot in South Essex where we grew all manner of veg. I'm also involved in brewing the odd keg of beer.
Recently we bought a house with a 65ftx30ft garden, which we're converting into a mini orchard and veg beds. The entire transformation is happening at the moment and being chronicled by a timelapse camera.
The hope is to introduce chickens next year into the orchard to allow them free range.
