Enjoy naturally sparkling, old-world ginger beer at home with the Large Kefirko Ginger Beer Plant Kit — the simplest and cleanest way to ferment larger batches of genuine ginger beer plant.
This larger all-in-one European-made fermentation system streamlines the entire process, from fermenting to straining. Perfect for regular brewers, families, and anyone wanting to make more traditional ginger beer at once, this kit gives you everything you need to craft refreshing ginger beer at home using a genuine live ginger beer plant culture.
Ginger beer plant is a rare historic symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, traditionally used to ferment sugar water with ginger into a naturally carbonated, complex, and deeply flavoured drink. Unlike modern shortcuts using baker’s yeast or water kefir, true ginger beer plant produces a richer, more traditional ferment with its own unique character.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does ginger beer take to ferment?
Most batches take around 3–7 days, depending on temperature, sugar level, ginger strength, and your preferred flavour. Warmer homes ferment faster; cooler homes ferment more slowly.
How much should I brew?
Start with the amount you selected, either 1000 ml or 1250 ml. The 1400 ml Kefirko fermenter gives enough space for larger batch sizes while still allowing room for the culture and ingredients.
How is ginger beer plant different from water kefir grains?
Ginger beer plant is a distinct traditional culture with different microbes, growth patterns, and flavour. It produces a more complex, spicy, slightly tart ginger beer and generally grows more slowly than water kefir.
Can I flavour the ginger beer?
Yes — ginger, lemon, lime, herbs, spices, fruit, or juice can be used to adjust the flavour. We recommend starting with the basic recipe first while the culture is activating, then experimenting once it is fermenting reliably.
Does this contain alcohol?
Traditional ginger beer may naturally develop a small amount of alcohol during fermentation. Levels are typically low, but can vary depending on fermentation time, sugar levels, temperature, and bottling conditions.
How long will the ginger beer plant last?
With gentle handling and proper feeding, ginger beer plant can be maintained long term. It is a living, reusable culture that can continue producing batch after batch.
How do I store the ginger beer plant if I take a break?
For short breaks, the culture can usually be stored in a small amount of fresh sugar solution in the fridge. Refresh it regularly and return it to normal brewing when you are ready to start again.
What if my ginger beer plant doesn’t activate?
Your purchase is covered by our Arrive Alive Guarantee. If it does not wake up and begin fermenting as expected, we will replace it free of charge.
