Did you know - Beer - contains 17 different microorganisms - that are benefical to soil. Used in the 3rd week of veggie growing - one room temperature beer - will improve nitrogen uptake - & feed the flora (good microorganisms) present. If your soil is sterile - add worm castings first, then the beer. Cheap & Effective...

Just straight beer. Just open one, let it sit until it is room temperature, and pour in. Just like your watering your plant(s). 6 ounces per plant minimum; but they will not complain if you give them the full beer.

This is one of the strange but true fun facts... every grower should know.

I just use left overs from parties. There are always a few, half empty beers left at the end of the night. See, Recycling - it's good for the environment.

Yes Tanker2 Beer is Organic enough for me and my plants. Not 100 % Organic, but very, very close.

Isn't the alcohol in it a little sketch? I wouldn't say thats very good for the plant.

Can you source any scientific data to back up your claim? What 17 microorganisms? I could see maybe the carbonation being beneficial by oxygenating the water... I wouldn't pour a beer right onto the soil, though, I'd feel better mixing it in the reservior like everything else I feed my plants.

I wouldn't expect to try this with Steel Reserve or Budweiser... more like a local organic microbrew if at all.

Dont give it beer that has been pasteurized. EG Coors, Bud. All the big brands pasteurize their beer. That kills all the beneficial bacteria. So you are just choking your plants.

Ok..Listen up nay sayers.. What is beer made of ? Barely, Hops, Malt, Yeast & good clean water. Both Barely & Hops, are good sources of trace minerals. The Alcohol in Beer will act as a mild disinfectant, killing more bad than good microorganisms. The Yeast provides good bacteria. The finished product: Beer - It's a source of carbohydrates (simple ones - already broken down by the yeast - this is called Bioconversion.) It is true that pasturization kills bacteria, but not all. Just like with composting yard waste. It seems an interesting fact - that good bacteria (present in hops, barley & yeast) are able to with stand high temperatures - just like good micro-beasties in the compost pile. Those who survive, reproduce. They have a source of food, oxygen & good clean water (all located in that can or bottle). I am trying to find the link I read - giving the names of the 17 microoranisms (good bacteria) present in beer. Don't ask me to spell them, I am not a scientist. I will update, when located.
