after nearly a week of feeding my ginger beer plant , today I realised for the past day or two or even longer I've been feeding it with cinnamon instead of ginger ......Cinnamon beer anyone? or shall I just bin it.?

[donnakebab]

I love you dearly Bins but I have no idea what you're on about!

But if you're brewing beer don't bin it for goodness sake!

[binley100]

To make ginger beer you need to make a starter and a starter is called a plant like this.......

You may have discovered a new taste sensation - cinnager beer. I think it sounds quite appetising. Go back to the normal feed now and see what happens - but don't blame me if its awful!

I would echo what veggie has said - go back to feeding with ginger and have a taste when you would normally stop feeding.

You will soon be able to tell if the cinnamon has overpowered the ginger, although I would be surprised if it did as ginger is a very sharp spicy taste that may even benefit from a little sweetness.

Let us know how you get on - I could be interested in repeating your accident if it works.

It has only one day left before the next step .......do I make up a batch using what I've got and then start a fresh batch using the correct ingredients or do I just bin the cinnamon stuff and start afresh .......I could've been using cinnamon all bl'ddy week as far as I'm aware .....
*note to self ......there's a reason you have glasses. use them ......

[Samurailord]

Taste the batch first and decide what to do

Only you can tell if it is worth making

I've decided to make it up tomorrow . Will let you know the out come . My mate's lad (when he'd stopped laughing) has said he'll have it if I don't like it .......

Nutter!

[binley100]

Well I'm not going to waste it .......

[Feral007]

Awesome! I might like that one - I hate the taste of ginger so cinnamon beer could be good!

Poor Bins (I'm not laughing - honest )

Well I completed the next stage today and it is now in bottles so we'll give it a while and see. Did have a sneaky little taste today tho' and although it was different it wasn't horrible........watch this space Oh and I started off a frexh ginger beer plant with ginger and the cinnamon has been hidden at the back of the cupboard
