Boil the bottle. Fermentation which is what happens here is prob best to use a boiled bottle. It will sterilize it from foreign bacteria which can cause botulism. Wash the fruit, and do not use metal when stirring the ginger bug. Define chemical as well since that could mean a whole host of things. If it is sour, the alcohol is soured/spoiled.

When you said burp it every 8 hours, that's after the bubbles form on the soda's surface, right? I am guessing so because of the lemon-lime soda video you posted

@ICookAndPaint

6 жыл бұрын

Correct! No need to burp the bottles if there are no bubbles. Once you see lots of bubbles, chill the soda in the fridge. Fermentation will slow down and you won't need to burp them so much. Try to drink it within 3 days...hope this helps :)

Anything fermented with yeast will contain alcohol. It is an unavoidable byproduct of the yeast eating the sugar. How much alcohol on the other hand is a different story. In the United States anything 1% alcohol by volume and under is considered non alcoholic. If you only let the soda ferment for a few days before putting it in the refrigerator and drink it within a month you should be under that 1% mark.

1 out of 3 of my bottles exploded after less than 2 days of fermenting and ruined my lament wood floors. I burped my bottles everyday but was a few hours late the 2nd day. My house temp was 74 degrees. Keep an eye on your bottles.

Hi! The temperature you mentioned is pretty cool. If you can put it somewhere warmer it might help. Sometimes if the bottles are not absolutely cleaned and rinsed, (1000%!) bacteria or soap residue can kill it. Also, does it happen to be in direct sunlight? If so, that could be the reason. Fermentation has a hard time in direct sunlight. I would say if it doesn't ferment, don't give up and keep trying!

Great video and would love to make this but, as somebody who is pre-diabetic, I need to be careful of my sugar intake! Do you know how much sugar is remaining in the final product and have you any tips to reduce the sugar content whilst keeping the lovely taste? I have been Keto for a while now so my sweet tasting buds aren't so sweet any more. I would probably prefer something not so sweet.

@@ICookAndPaint Thank you so much for taking the time not only to reply, but to search out another video regarding sugar content in the final product! Much appreciated. I'm guessing the same would apply for most recipes that use the ginger bug as the starter? I am from the UK so have to search out what 1 cup of water or sugar is in mg or millilitres but here goes: - 1 cup of water = 240 ml.... 1 cup of sugar = 200grams...4 cups halved strawberries = 300grams - Your recipe was 4 cups water = 1 litre (I've added a bit for the juice of the strawberries). _ You added 1/3 cup sugar = 64 grams of sugar. Cronometer states 64 grams of carbs, as sugar is the base rate for carbs. - Strawberries have a natural sugar: 300gr = 16grams sugar. - That means there is a total of 80 grams sugar (20 teaspoons) for 1 litre of strawberry soda. If only 5% remained, there would be only 4 grams remaining. That sounds too good to be true but the only way I guess would be to get it tested, or drink a bottle and test the rise in blood glucose?? One could also play around with the recipe to reduce even further, so long as the taste was still to ones liking. A straight ginger ale without the added strawberries would be even less. Cheers...🍻

My first batch was very sad, I think my ginger bug was playing a prank on me. It was all bubbly and feisty, but after 7 days my sodas were still extremely lackluster. I kept feeding my bug, thinking, ok, maybe it's just not strong enough yet. Dude, my next batch took off like a freaking rocket. Just made the strawberry version the other night, and in 24hrs my plastic soda bottles were back into shape (squeezed out the excess air). Is this possible? I mean, are they actually finished fermenting or should I release the gas (and continue to do so) for a few more days?

@ICookAndPaint

In my experience, some soda flavors carbonate better than others. When I make the strawberry soda, it always takes off like crazy (overnight, sometimes in the same day). Yet some are not as fizzy. I believe it has much to do with the type of sugar used. Plain white granulated sugar seems to work best, brown sugar works too but not as aggressively. The ones that work the least are artificially sweetened beverages (you can carbonate sweet drinks that are commercially prepared if you don't want to make your own wort). Once the soda is carbonated, I always put them in the fridge and consume them within a few days. Refrigerating them slows down the fermentation process to they don't turn to alcohol. This is why I only make small amounts :)

I used plain white sugar both times, white and brown are the only options here, no fancy rapadura or sucanat available. Made a batch of lemon iced tea yesterday, same bug/sugar, and it has yet to show signs of life. Maybe the bacteria/yeast get a bigger boost off the sugary fruit juice. I already make my own kefir and yogurt, I'd never feed artificial junk to a living organism, that's just mean ^_^ I do have a commercially prepared fruit juice blend I've been wanting to try this with, so looking forward to that. No additives or added sugar, of course. I went ahead and took the strawberry batch out of the fridge and let it ferment for a few more days. It was still too sweet for my tastes after only one day of fermentation. Just put them back in last night, and will have another taste test later today! Thanks for the replies, Paul :)

I have never heard of cream of tartar used in the wort--I have never done this and my sodas always ferment great. The funny taste/smell is only very subtle and the more acid you use in a wort, the less of that taste there is.

+I Cook And Paint started my ginger bug 6 days ago and today it's bubbly and smells sweet 😊..... On the 1st to 3rd day the bubbles were a good amount, tiny and were mostly at the side of the bug, then the 4th and 5th day the bubbles were mostly all gone and I was worried some thing went wrong but on the 5th day it got bubbly again.... When it was kinda flat I left it fermenting next to a bottle of kefir I had for a good few hrs and its when I checked it in the evening that the bubbles were back all over this time instead of just to the side, so I don't know if leaving it next to the kefir did something, I stir it once in the evening and give it sugar and ginger with another stir at night ......should I use it now to make the wort drink, Or leave until the eight day?

Ginger bug sodas are sweet and should still be consumed in moderation, but unlike a regular soda these are lacto fermented and therefore contain beneficial probiotics. The ginger bug eats most of the sugar--up to 99% but it still tastes sweet. I don't recommend reducing the sugar in a recipe--I have tried it and it tastes horrible. Any form of sugar can be used but steer clear from (unpasteurized) honey--it has antibacterial properties and therefore kills the ginger bug. I hope this helps.

@@Itgyrl909 I put yeast in my ginger bug, which brought up the alcohol content high. I put yeast in it to try to bring dead gingerbug back to life. It wasn't bubbling no matter how much I fed it. Yest did bring it back alive and kicking. I only let my soda ferment for 3 days.

Has anyone ever had their drink develop a white film across the surface? It looks like it's developing a SCOBY. Should I chunk it in the trash? Is it harmless? There is no color to it at all. It is becoming fizzy.

My sodas always look like that...it means it worked, so don't throw it away! And don't be alarmed if it has a slightly sulfur (almost eggy?) taste to it underneath the strawberry flavour. Ginger bug sodas are almost like tonics (kombuchas)...and nearly all of them have this aftertaste. They may be an acquired taste. If you do not like the aftertaste, try my lemon lime soda recipe...it is the one soda that has none of this aftertaste at all. Link is right here...I hope this answer helps! :) m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/gK16s9yeY93Nqbg.html

You're welcome! :)

Your video has no ingredient quantities, and your link to the recipe is a blank errored page. Can you please just put the recipe in the description above (or the video you make in future, or the video becomes redundant)

Don't burp your bottles at all, all this does is give you less carbonation and more alcohol.

My bottle exploded. :'(

It could also mean you filled the bottle too much and/or didn't burp it soon enough :)

God bless you I hope you find the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior I love these videos and your art is beautiful

Joshua Nordin I do like how he seemingly eschews corporatist glorification of mechanization in cooking by using minimalistic kitchen wares. or some shit
