Unlike industrial ginger beers, this artisan version is truly fermented: the micro-organisms produce natural CO2, organic acids and enzymes. The result is a complex, spicy, low-sugar living drink.

Homemade ginger beer is the perfect base for cocktails (Moscow Mule, Dark ’n’ Stormy) or simply served chilled with a slice of lemon.

Recipe

In a 1 litre jar, dissolve 40g of sugar in lukewarm non-chlorinated water.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger (organic if possible).
Add the 20g of GBP grains and top up with cold water.
Cover with a cloth and let ferment 48 to 72h at room temperature (20-25 C).
Strain out the grains and ginger. Bottle and refrigerate.

💡 Tip: add the juice of half a lemon for a livelier ginger beer. For more fizz, leave 12-24h in a sealed bottle before refrigerating.

Precautions

Pregnancy: large amounts of ginger are not recommended during pregnancy (ask your doctor)
Anticoagulant treatment: ginger can interact with blood-thinning medicines
Gallstones: ginger stimulates bile secretion, be careful in case of lithiasis
Severely weakened immune system: seek medical advice before consuming ferments containing live micro-organisms

Artisan ginger beer is a ferment, not a medicine. In case of doubt or illness, consult your doctor.

Frequently asked questions▸

What is the ginger beer plant (GBP)?

The Ginger Beer Plant (GBP) is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts, distinct from classic water kefir. These translucent, gelatinous grains ferment a solution of water, sugar and fresh ginger to produce a naturally sparkling drink with a real ginger beer taste, spicy and refreshing. It is a rare, ancestral culture.

How do I make homemade ginger soda?

Dissolve 50g of sugar in 750ml of water. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger and the juice of half a lemon. Place the ginger beer plant grains in a glass jar, pour in the mixture, cover with a cloth and let ferment 2 to 3 days at room temperature. Strain, bottle in airtight bottles and leave 1-2 more days for natural carbonation.

What is the difference with water kefir?

The ginger beer plant and water kefir are two different cultures with distinct microbial compositions. The GBP specifically produces a drink with a true ginger beer taste, spicier and with a more intense carbonation. GBP grains are usually smaller and translucent. Water kefir is more versatile, while the GBP excels at making authentic ginger beer.

Do the grains multiply?

Yes, under good conditions the ginger beer plant grains multiply with each fermentation. With regular care, one purchase gives you a culture for life, with plenty to share.

Is my drink alcohol-free?

Yes. The drink you make is a soft drink, like water kefir or kombucha. As with every naturally fermented beverage, fermentation may leave minute residues, far below the threshold used for alcohol-free labelling, and our short fermentation times keep them minimal.

How do I store ginger beer plant grains?

Between two batches, keep the grains in sweetened water in the fridge and change the water weekly. For a longer break, drain the grains, place them in a zip bag and freeze them: they reactivate within 2-3 fermentations.
