Hi All,
I have had a ginger beer plant going for some time now and got some good batches out of it. Lately the plant has been getting a jelly like substance at the very top between the air and liquid, it is quite firm, slightly brown and transparent and forms a disc at the top of the jar...
I thought Tasmanian oak was actually a eucalypt, anyone? I was looking for an american oak plank from a wine barrel to make a paddle out of, could anyone help?

My ginger beer plant made from a handful of saltanas seems to be going strong. It is a light brown/ orange colour with sediment on the bottom of the jar, does anyone have the jelly looking substance as shown in the pdf? could you please post pictures.

I am struggling to get my ginger beer plant started can i use 5526 wyeast Brett. Lambicus to get a culture started? Can i split the pack and freeze it as described in other posts as for liquid yeast? Or would someone be able to send me a sample?
How did the strawberry Cyser go? I want to make something along these lines for the GF. Also what is a cyser? and are there other non beer fermented beverage's on the site besides cider and ginger beer?
My house is nominally 25 deg and if i cool and ferment an ale say at 20 deg then bottle it, what temp should it be stored at? Same goes for a larger if it was fermented at 15 deg. Would this ruin the beer like when a commercial beer goes in and out of the esky?
Well i taped a foam vegitable box to the top of the engel fridge and put in a small 12v computer fan to circulate the air. It seems to be holding the temp well at around 20deg. I am still going to build a peltier chiller out of 2 large foam boxes and see how that goes.

Read the BIAB threads and don't really know where this belongs.

I didn't realise there could be a potentially deadly bacteria in my home brewery. Which areas in the process are venerable to infection and what is the likelihood of poisoning?
