I've just put on:
1 X Orange Wurzel (with less juice but more sugar than the recipe above)
1 X Ribena Wine
This'll be my first time for both of these, so fingers crossed!

Re: Make your own ginger beer plant.
I've been making my first batch over the past few weeks using the recipes and instructions above and cracked it open last night - I quite enjoyed it, but all my friends said it was far too gingery for them. Is this normal? Have I accidentally been using superginger, or do my friends simply need to b...

My friend posted this on my Facebook wall (I'm of that generation, I'm afraid) and I thought you might all like *cough cough* to read it. There's an entire thread here devoted to your vitriol. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1335550/Merry-Christmas-Along-millions-middle-class-families-I-af...

Re: Gut a chicken
The only thing I'd add is that it's best to be quite gentle when you're scooping the guts out, else you could puncture the gall bladder. It's a little greenish ball attached to the liver that's full of bile, so makes the chicken terribly bitter if it's popped! That said, provided you don't go comple...

Re: Real Ginger Beer Plant
Hmmm. I was under the impression that you couldn't make the REAL Ginger Beer Plant, as it's a specific sybiotic fungal-bacterial pair? Have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere?

Re: candle making
Can't help either I'm afraid, but I've been thinking of making candles in old Lyle's Treacle tins, which I think would look oddly nice for Christmas. No? Just me?

Tiny Flat Homebrew
Hi all, I'm currently a 'homebrew spectator' owing to my pitifully small flat in which the temperature fluctuates wildly, but read these threads and think 'ooh, wouldn't that be a lovely thing to do'. A single demijohn would take up about half of my kitchen space, but I wondered whether there was an...

Hi Everybody
Hi everyone,
I'm not especially self-sufficient at all really - making my own sloe gin is about the extent of it, especially as work dictates that I live in a pokey London flat. I'm eager and determined though, which I think is what counts!

Re: Real Ginger Beer Plant
Hi everybody, Does anybody still have any of the traditional Ginger Beer Plant knocking around that they'd be willing to post me for a small 'donation'? I know there are online shops that sell it (or similar), but I'm quite reluctant to pay the amount they're asking... I'd be really, really grateful...
