Making Ginger Bug for the first time! Can’t wait!

Wow! I had no idea. There is so much to learn.

This stuff is awesome. I keep a bug going and make fermented lemonade every week. I have 2 gallons going at any one time. I drink it every day and I haven't had heartburn in 2 months. It's not boozy so no buzz lol. Thank you guys!

When you totally change out the used up ginger? I know that I can grow a new batch, but I'd like to keep this healthy bug going like a sour dough starter.

Love fermentation! I was in San Fran last year and you couldn't move without coming across something delicious that had been fermented. Love this idea and will definitely be trying. xxx

+Crumbs Food Nice one. Keep us updated. :D

I started my first Ginger Bug monday night and just went checking on it: It almost jumped right at me and was ready to go! 👍 Now on to step two, prepare the lemonade!

I look forward to making this!

Nice and simple explanation. It’s just like a sourdough starter or a yogurt starter. I will be making this now since I have a huge ginger root chilling on my counter (leftover from a hot sauce pepper mash ferment). Thanks guys!

Best series!

I just love it, at the mo I'm making beer / wine / ginger beer, now this has led me onto your video, so I'll give this a try as think home made is so much better in many ways. Thanks

Wow, love this.

Thank you for a great vid! Can you tell me how to manage the ginger bug for the next use? Do I continue to use the original ginger or discard and use fresh ginger with old liquid? Thanks!

My ginger bug is nice and bubbly now :) have done it last year too, but a slightly different method by adding freshly grated ginger, sugar & water daily. This method is so much easier, thanks guys!

The yeast produces alcohol; while LAB yields lactic acid in an anaerobic environment. I would at least cover the jar with a towel to prevent mold from entering.

Wonderful thank u! How long does the mother bug last? How do u know when to throw the whole thing away and start the bug again?

Sweet thank you

This looks great! How long do you keep the cut ginger/lemons for after the week and you have consumed the drink? Can it be re used or is it better to start a fresh? Thanks. :)

Hi I'm new to the ginger bug and was wondering could I just make ginger tea with sugar put the ginger bug in it and make ginger ale.

Do you peel the ginger ? I love this thanks ! God bless

Love it! How long can I reuse the ginger bug before I change the ginger in it? And when I do, do I just transfer some ginger bug water to a fresh jar of ginger and feed?

hello. thank you for your video. just wanna ask, I now have a week old Ginger bug, but It doesnt have any bubbles, its just foggy and very slimy.. is is normal? 😞

Can you use rehydrated lemons or is fresh best?

Something I've not seen mentioned here is that since this is a fermentation, don't you risk explosion by not burping it at least daily or by using a lid with a fermentation lock?

I’ve been making this for years. However, I use honey. Whatever water you use, do not use tap water. The chlorine will kill the process.

Oooh. I have been chopping ginger and preserving it in honey with a little lemon for tea. How do u do this with honey,?

I am fermenting every veggie I eat, and that means many kind of things! I NEVER EVER used sugar, because there are normally some sugar in the veggies that will start the fermentation. Even chili will ferment! I always use a salt brine to fermentation.

Good one!

So... fermented foods have fungi or friendly bacteria? Can someone explain because there is a lot of confusion going on

Awesome! How big is the jar with the mother? And when do i have to replace the ginger?

Hi I've finally made a good ginger bug using this method. So much easier than adding grated ginger every day. My jug is only 1.5 litres so I reduced the lemon by half and didn't add as much of the ginger bug. Does this sound about right?

Made fermented drink for about a two months amazing was wondering when to stop using the ginger in the jar do they expire?

Was wondering that too.. Off to more videos, I did transfer my bug into a clean jar with fresh ginger, some bug and a bit of the original ginger, just in case...

I've made ginger covered in honey with a little lemon juice. Do I cap it or not? Some gas is developing. How long will it be shelf stable? Thanks

+Lisa Morass They're so good for your body.

Should I keep it in the fridge after it´s ready? Or in the case I want to keep it for a couple of weeks without using it?

I would love to try this. Would coconut sugar work to make the ginger bug?

Does it ferment better in a dark place? I notice some people have it in a dark pantry with the light off. I was wondering if I could possibly put it outside in the sun?

Help!! I have ginger (finger grated) garlic (crushed about 4 bulbs )cinnamon slice of lemon and some black seeds nigella in 500g sidr honey in mason jar. It's really strong and dark. It's been about a week. Is it safe? How long will it last? Should I add more honey? What should I look for if it's unsafe? Or should I just get rid of it? Please advise! !!!!!

I made the Ginger bug and then the Gingerade. I need a bit of advice- my Gingeraid had a layer of Mold on the top. I left the lemons and the ginger in the jug. Please advise! Happy Fermenting :]

can we do the same procedure using turmeric?

hi, thanks for sharing, my place is relatively warm its quicker to see bubbles come up.i got questions, , after leaving it after 24 hrs open, bubbles starts to appear, is that okay? 2ndly, on the 2nd day, you said to put the lid on, is that airtight or not to tight to let carbon dioxide escape? 3rdly, say i have kept my ginger bug in the fridge for more than a week but have kept feeding it while in the fridge, now after some time i make a drink again, coming from the fridge, after taking some of the liquid to make a ferment drink, should i put it back in the fridge to start reactivating it or just leave it in the counter so i can keep it going again? hope anyone can answer, thanks😊

Hi guys at the HP. I want to start my own ginger bug. However, I was wondering what actually happened when I'll drink the gingery fermented lemonade. Would stomach acid not kill most of the probiotics and other living things in that drink before it reaches my jejunum (small intestine)?

What if I mixed one cup of ginger bug and a bottle of sweet wine? Would it ferment?

828/5000 Hello Happy Pear and April, I reviewed and tried many ginger bug methods. This is the one that worked best for me. I want to thank you very much !! Super cool for having a homemade soda drink full of probiotics and tastes pretty good! I would need to adjust the bitterness ... I would add less citrus to the mix. First time I tried the recipe it was the best and I followed the suggestions from April step by step ... then, in the second and third intention it became quite bitter, I tried with orange and grapefruit instead of lemon in these last two, but I thinks I added to much. Anyway, even bitter, they were great ... effervescent, fresh, I love to drink this and I feel well! Thanks April, I admire that you and would love to meet you if I lived a little closer, writing from Buenos Aires, greetings! saludos!

Is there ever an issue with the fizz exploding or spilling over the sealed jar?

Does the jar have to be filled up until the top, ore is halve a jar be fine too? Regards Anna

and brown sugar is best to feed your ginger bug?

Sorry if you've already answered this many times. Why brown sugar? Is it better than other sugars? Will other sugars ruin the fermenting process?

How long can you keep re-using your ginger bug for?

If I wanted to keep it for an extended period, would it loose it's nutritional value if pasteurized it to stop fermentation?

I forgotten about my ginger bug ,now I have a thick layer of mothering top similar like the kambucher only white ??

Is there any reason why you cant use a type of Air Lock Lid or a Monostop lid for this process?

Beer bottles with European fasteners can easily gotten by buying Grolsch beer at about 2 dollars per bottle. If you like the beer, then the bottle is free. If you like the bottle, then the beer is free.

Just a question, my vinegar is ‘sharp’. How do I stop the product being so sharp? John

Ola pode me ajudar? O meu ginger bug esta com gosto avinagrado fermentou de mais esta formando até um biofilme na superfice. Joguei fora mais de 80% coloquei água e a açúcar novamente, o que me aconselha fazer um novo do zero ou continuar a usar este? o Biofilme é normal? Obrigado
