Homemade Ginger Beer

   I've posted some queries on MSE:

Hi All,








I started making homemade Ginger Beer a couple of months ago and I've been very impressed with my first few batches. I was wondering if the good people on MSE could help me with a some queries?

1) How long will the yeast last?

2) If I went on holiday would the "plant" die?

3) Can I sell the plant on Eb*y or other such sites?

Btw - I heartily recommend making your own stuff. I'm not sure how thrifty it is when 2l bottles can be bought in Mr T but it tastes great.
