Genuine heritage Ginger Beer Plant (GBP) - real plant; not kefir; not ginger bug

Description

UPDATE: Apr 27, 2021.  Thanks to
buyer
feedback, I have now upgraded the packaging to crush proof cardboard box.
Going forward, all orders will be shipped exactly as shown in the photo.
Every order will now include TWO portions (2x quarter cup) of GBP.
Instead of quarter cup, you will automatically receive TWO quarter cups of pure GBP!!  I
f one portion fails for any reason whatsoever, you still have the replacement portion without waiting for a new shipment.  Please
grow them in separate jars.  Or you can simply give the extra portion to someone else.
Please be patient as GBP is a living
symbiosis
and i
t can take up to
30 days
before the GBP acclimates to your water and sugar type and environment.  They are hardy living yeasts and bacteria but they take time to reach a balance in your home.  They will eventually rebalance so long as you don't use chlorinated water or ingredient with preservatives (like sulphured molasses).
Please never be like Ebayer (
yfunmail
) who abuses the return process to get some free GBP at the detriment of sellers like me.  There's hardly any profit after fees and cost of maintaining the GBP.  I am doing this to ensure this heritage GBP continues on.  If you really have financial difficulty, do let me know and I'll gladly ship some for free, just help with postage.

What is Ginger Beer Plant?
Ever wanted to make your own traditional organic spicy ginger beer?  Store bought "ginger beer/ale" is simply carbonated syrup water with artificial flavors and simply cannot compare with the real stuff.
Ginger beer was traditionally produced at home using a symbiotic colony of
Saccharomyces florentinus
yeast and Lactobacillus known as a "Ginger Beer Plant".  This is the original heritage Ginger Beer Plant.  It is
not
the imitation ginger bug/water kefir/wild yeast/beer yeast which is often sold as
Ginger Beer Plant.
Only buy the real Ginger Beer Plant, please do not buy the bug.
By brewing your own ginger beer, you get to decide how sweet, spicy, fizzy and gingery you like your ginger beer to be.  If you're super creative, you can even substitute other herbs and spices to get flavored Ginger Beer.
I guarantee that my Ginger Beer Plants are extremely robust and healthy.  My kids absolutely love to watch them float and bounce around inside the jar.
What is the different between Ginger Beer Plant and the fake
ginger bug / wild yeast / beer yeast /
water kefir
?
Be extremely careful when buying from sellers who claim to be selling Ginger Beer Plant. Very often they are just selling the fake ginger bug which is made from ginger powder and sugar. You can simply combine ginger powder and sugar
(plus wild yeast in your environment)
to grow a bug, please don't spend your precious money on something which you can make at home with 5 cents of materials you already have at home.
Ginger bugs are not the true heritage Plant. Ginger Beer Plant is a symbiotic
colony of
a
specific
Saccharomyces florentinus yeast and a
specific
Lactobacillus which can
never
ever be cultivated from ginger bug, not in a million years.  The ginger beer produced by the bug is a wild fermentation depending on the yeast in your kitchen so the quality is inconsistent and varies greatly whereas the Plant is a fixed yeast and Lactobacillus and the ginger beer produced will consistently be thick with frothy head and slightly goopy mouthfeel. The Lactobacillus contributes to the unique tangy taste and thick goopy mouthfeel through the production of
gelling polysaccharide.
This is the traditional heritage Ginger Beer which was hugely popular in the UK.
Where did the Ginger Beer Plant come from?
This particular Ginger Beer Plant traces its origins to a German yeast culture bank and is the only known Ginger Beer Plant currently in existence.  Sadly, there is simply no other Ginger Beer Plant strains known to have survived.  The story of how this Ginger Beer Plant was rescued from extinction makes great reading.
Only buy Plants originally sourced from the German yeast bank.
How is the Ginger Beer Plant kept?
My Ginger Beer Plant is grown in a smoke-free and pet-free clean environment.  Though not necessary, I sterilize all equipment and my GBP is fed with organic food only.
More importantly, I do not keep Water Kefir so there's zero chance for cross contamination as the bacteria in Water Kefir are stronger, grow faster and will rapidly displace and contaminate the Ginger Beer Plant.
Do not source your Ginger Beer Plants from a place with also maintains Water or Milk Kefir.
What will I receive?
You will receive
2 quarter cups
of pure
Ginger Beer Plant (only the good stuff with
absolutely zero ginger bits!
)
.  The Ginger Beer Plant is more than sufficient to make up to 2 quart or 2 litres of Ginger Beer every 3 days.  If you need more to make larger quantities, don't worry, your Ginger Beer Plant will grow and double in no time at all!
You will also receive an very detailed instruction sheet on how to care for your Ginger Beer Plant and 2 recipes. One recipe to make traditional ginger beer and another secret Growth recipe which I personally developed from reading all the literature, experimenting and tweaking.  This secret recipe will make your Ginger Beer Plant healthy, happy and double!  This is the exact same secret recipe,
which I will share with you,
I am using to successfully grow my Ginger Beer Plant.
What is your guarantee?
If you follow the recipes as provided exactly (I trust you!) and your Ginger Beer Plant does not grow bubbly after a month, please message me for help.
I will ship TWO quarter cup batches with every order
free of charge, no questions asked
. I'm that confident of the quality of my Ginger Beer Plants.
Only purchase Plants from somewhere which provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Why are you shipping in a crush-proof box?  Other sellers are using regular envelope.
GBP is extremely fragile and has texture of extremely soft jelly.  If shipped unprotected in regular envelope, it will become a paste when it gets to you.
This means you will be prone to losing precious GBP while sieving.
The crush-proof box will minimize this greatly and your GBP will arrive in tip-top condition.
The photos in the listing are all ACTUAL photos of my GBP which I will send to you.
You will receive:
2x quarter cups
of
Pure Ginger Beer Plant (3oz or 85g total weight)
Very detailed instruction sheet
Recipe 1 (traditional ginger beer)
Recipe 2 (secret nourishing growth supplement which I personally developed)
