Hello

Project Ginger Beer – How To Make Ginger Beer – Part 2

October 17, 2008

Are you up to this bit yet?!
If not, you need to read THIS and THIS first!
If you joined me last Saturday, then just read on!

Next, you’ll be needing an extra jar!
Today, you need to divide the week old ‘plant’ in the jar into two halves. Place half the mixture into a clean jar with 2 cups of warm water. Then tomorrow, start ‘feeding’ as before, that is, two teaspoons of ground ginger and two teaspoons of sugar each day for a week.

(The other half of the ‘plant’ can be given to a friend with this recipe – you might want to put it in a nicer jar in that case. Or you can leave it in the original jar and have two plants ‘on the go’ if you’re crazy for ginger beer like me! Feed each plant as detailed above.)

You MUST start collecting plastic bottles this week! We’ll need about 20 1.25l bottles – or if you want less now is the time to adjust your quantities DOWN and gift some of that ginger beer plant to someone else! I suggest a bit of a raid on the recycling bins! All bottles must be super dooper clean – so get a bottle brush and plenty of hot soapy water happening.

See you next Saturday – you’ll be needing those bottles and a funnel – and some cute labels might be nice too!
