[Tastebridge] [Noisebridge-discuss] Ginger Beer Plant

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Hi Felix,
I do not have it unfortunately. I've done various ginger based non alcoholic drinks using yogurt/yogurt whey/kefir/kefir whey/kombucha and water kefir. My best results were with kefir whey, honey and cold infusion of graded ginger during the whole fermentation. I'd be interested in the differences of the product if the "Ginger beer plant" is used. I also wonder how much is it reliable that this culture is the "true one" or the one which has been used for long period of time/historically. Do you have some info about the culture in general? I've heard about it before but I've never experimented with it and I'd like to give it a go. I love both ginger beer and ginger ale.


Sincerely,



Frantisek

PS I'm now in England and I'll be going for 28c3 in Berlin where several Noisebridge members are coming too. We may try to discuss how to get the ginger plant and from somewhere in England to USA.

Hi Noisebridge, specifically BioBridge,

Does anyone have Ginger Beer Plant or know where to source it in the area?

I'm looking to make some /real/ ginger beer. 
If nobody has any, I'd be really happy to culture some for sharing.
