Beer Brewing

Ginger beer plant is, surprisingly, not a leafy plant at all. Instead ginger beer plant is a probiotic plant culture which you can use to brew your own, fizzy, old-fashioned ginger beer.

What are the health benefits of real ginger beer?

When you make your own real ginger beer, you are avoiding nasty chemicals like aspartame which are often included in cans of fizzy drinks and ginger beer. True ginger beer is made through fermentation with the probiotic plant bacteria and yeast creating a fermentation to give the ginger beer a good fizz. Most colas and other shop-bought fizzy drinks are carbonated, and that’s what makes them fizzy. You are controlling all of the ingredients that go into your own true ginger beer, so you can be sure that no nasty ingredients go in. You can use organic fair trade sugar, and organic ginger and lemons to ensure that your ginger beer is organic too.

What actually is ginger beer plant?

Ginger beer plant’s origins are an enigma, but we know that it became popular in the UK some time in the 1700’s, and was a common sight in kitchens right up until the 1950s. In the 1880s, curious botanist Harry Marshall Ward spent years researching the culture. He worked out that ginger beer plant is a “composite organism consisting of a fungus, the yeast Saccharomyces florentinus (formerly Saccharomyces pyriformis) and the bacterium Lactobacillus hilgardii (formerly Brevibacterium vermiforme)”. So now you know!

After a few days, you’ll be able to bottle your real home brewed organic ginger beer.
