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...

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. Dan

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.

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?

So is botulism poisonous to humans or does it just spoil the wort?

i am pretty sure engel uses a swing motor more efficient than a compressor. batz i can understand where you are coming from but i didn't want to get another brewing fridge and i didn't want to start cutting holes in my current one. I might give the peltier a try fraser_john as i am a bit of an...

Well it's bloody hot up here in the pilbara and it doesn't get cool enough in the winter to brew a larger. I've researched different types of fermenter chillers (not wanting to get another fridge) and thought i would build a styrafoam box and place a peltier cooler/fan in the lid. But i don't...
