The Ginger Beer Plant /GBP/ Ginger Beer Crystals/GBC all the same thing

 

INFO

Our Ginger beer plant (GBP) is not a plant, but JWC/Water Kefir Cultured in a Sugar Ginger Culture which these Crystals Love the crystals are a  composite organism consisting of a fungus, the yeast Saccharomyces florentinus (formerlySaccharomyces pyriformis) and The bacterium Lactobacillus hilgardii (formerly Brevibacterium vermiforme),which form a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast It forms a gelatinous substance that allows it to be easily transferred from one fermenting substrate to the next, ( The Crystals ) and your Ginger Beer is a Healthy Probiotic Drink As well !

The GBP was first described by Harry Marshall Ward in 1892, from samples he received in 1887. Original ginger beer is made by leaving water, sugar, ginger, and GBP to ferment. Much of the "ginger beer plant" obtainable from commercial sources is not the true GBP as described here, but instead is yeast alone. This is not legally false advertising because there is no regulation defining GBP.

If you want a rest for a while just  dry out your  grains refrigerate they will last up to 18 months in this state. when you want to start again, just dehydrate in sugar water for 1 day then start again  as normal.
