With your ginger bug starter culture, you're ready to make fermented drinks like homemade ginger ale (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KsMUuMmKwps.html) and sodas (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CtpM1ouPt8k.html). And if you're wondering how to maintain your ginger bug over the long term, this short video explains it all! (ru-vid.comDjfHqZisQRs) Happy fermenting!

@@FermentationAdventure My sour dough was an epic fail....I think??? Not sure how it is suppose to smell. But it was bubbly but not rising. I'm going to start over but am wondering if I should wait until my ACV is done as to not cross contaminate???? I think that might have been the problem. I moved my Kombucha in another room to not cross contaminate with my ACV. Thoughts???

Leaving the skin on the ginger is an important part of transforming this into a great probiotic

@FermentationAdventure 9 месяцев назад

Definitely! And we look for organic ginger when possible so that we feel more comfortable leaving on the skins. 😄

@120id9 2 года назад

Pro tip: the easiest way to peel ginger without wastage is by scraping the skin off with a normal stainless steel spoon. Works perfectly as long as the ginger’s not too dried up and shriveled

@FermentationAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the tip Sian! We've done this many times especially when we grow it ourselves. We don't want to waste a scrap. Sometimes we get a little impatient and just chop off the skin. Ha! 😆 Thanks again!

@reforest4fertility Год назад

I like the skin where it's smooth & the piece is fresh & grown organically. However, i hear the yeast is thruout the ginger, not only on the skin.

@lorrieshigley3625 Год назад

Yep, been doing that for years, very easy and effective! No true waste!

@PhatBoyiee 2 года назад

Great video! I agree with everything you said except distilled water. I have experimented with filtered, filtered then boiled, distilled and spring water. Spring water worked the best. Also grated ginger gave me the fastest results as the ginger once grated seemed to have released more if its enzymes.

@FermentationAdventure 2 года назад

Great ideas David! I bet grated ginger would work the best since it gives you the most surface area. I wonder if your source of distilled water puts anything extra in it. That would be good to know. Thanks for the ideas!

@divenursok 9 месяцев назад

Do you let your spring water set to off has any chlorine? Thanks

@stormyn3249 9 месяцев назад

Agree.... never heard of distilled water for lacto fermentation....

@FermentationAdventure 4 года назад

One thing we wanted to mention. After using the ginger bug, you'll have less liquid and more and more ginger over time. What we do is remove some of the ginger pieces and fill the ginger bug back up to the top with non-chlorinated water. It doesn't matter how much ginger you take out since it's already done its job and you'll be feeding it more. Happy fermenting! 😊

@dianeb5100 4 года назад

Thank you for adding this!! All the other videos and blog posts don't address this, they just show you how to start it but never talk about what happens when you start building up too much ginger over time. Wondering if at some point way down the line can you just strain off all the used ginger and start with a clean jar, the ginger water and start feeding with fresh ginger and more sugar? Also, I live in a very humid climate and things go bad quickly. I have a lot of fresh organic ginger i bought to start this process. Can I freeze the leftover ginger and then thaw and use when I need to to a later feeding?

@FermentationAdventure 4 года назад

Thank you! Yes you can strain off all the ginger pieces and continue the bug with the liquid. We've never actually tried freezing the ginger, but we think it should work the same. Let us know how it goes if you try it!

@ASMRtists 2 года назад

I'd like to add to this. I think I've killed my bug one time by putting frozen ginger in. It was too cold. You have to make sure to defrost it beforehand. Also a question. I recently added the ginger from the bug to my ginger sugar water boiling pot. I haven't tasted yet, but did you ever try that? Sport of recycling it before I discard it. I hope it's fine! Good luck everyone!

@FermentationAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing about the frozen ginger! It would at least slow it down, but definitely makes sense to thaw it out first before adding it to your ginger bug. You can definitely reuse the ginger from your ginger bug. I just tried a piece from our refrigerated ginger bug and it still has a little spice, but not nearly as much as fresh ginger.

This video is incredibly helpful and I really appreciate the day by day updates! My bug is nearly ready to make ginger beer so I just have a few quick questions related to storing the ginger bug in the fridge after I'm done. 1) Do you just keep it covered with the same cloth and rubberband in the fridge or do you seal it up with a lid? 2) When you feed it the ginger and sugar each week do you need to leave it out at room temp for a while or is it ok to put it back in the fridge right after? 3) when you are ready to make more ginger beer do you need to leave the ginger bug out at room temp for a few days to reactivate it? Thanks the great videos and for answering our questions!

@FermentationAdventure 4 года назад

Thanks so much Jason! And these are all great questions! In fact you're not alone in wondering these details, so we are coming out with a Ginger Bug Q&A video next. Yay! 1) We loosely cover the ginger bug mason jar while in the fridge. It will continue to ferment slowly and release bubbles, so you don't want to use a tightly sealed lid. The cloth you used should be fine, but we use a lid and only lightly screw it on. 2) When we feed our ginger bug, we do not leave it on the counter before or after feeding. We just take it out of the fridge, feed it, and put it back in the fridge. 3) The ginger bug doesn't require to be left out of the fridge before using. Just take it out of the fridge when you're ready to use some, and then put the ginger bug back in the fridge.

Just wanted to give you a heads up, I went to make your ginger bug. I use distilled water, ginger and natural sugar. It didn’t work so I went to filtered water regular sugar and ginger and it worked. I went back and read the distilled water and it was for infants and they add a chlorine to it which basically killed off the bug, so just a heads up read your distilled water tiny print and make sure it doesn’t have added chlorine

@FermentationAdventure 3 года назад

Hi Paul and Sarah! So i was recently under the weather for a couple of days and asked my husband to get me some real ginger ale. Ever since then, I've become OBSESSED with making my own homemade ginger ale. I have scoured RU-vid trying to find a video that thoroughly explains how to grow a ginger bug, and take care of it. Your video is AMAZING!!! You both explain exactly what we need to see and look for, as well as what to do. Thank you so much!!! I know this shouldn't be so scary to do, but it's so new to me, and I'm scared of accidentally doing it wrong and then ingesting it. Again thank you so much for all your help! Also, just for clarification, when we are done cultivating the ginger bug, do we just take out the excess ginger and keep feeding it? Also, will it ever "go bad"?

@FermentationAdventure 4 года назад

Aww! Thank you so very much for your support and amazing feedback! This is what keeps us going and we appreciate it so much! Yes, you're right - just leave your bug in the refrigerator and feed it every so often with fresh ginger and sugar, and scoop out some of the old ginger every so often as well to make room for the new ginger. It really shouldn't go bad as long as you continue this process. We've had ours in the fridge a very long time. Happy you joined the culture!

But after feeding it again, it perks back up. 😄 Generally though, it is a good idea to try to stick to a regular feeding schedule. 👍🏻

@FermentationAdventure 9 месяцев назад

@nenitahortillosa7223 Yes, you could drink the ginger big. It's essentially a similar process to making ginger ale, although it's much more fermented and less sweet since it's meant to be a starter culture to help start the fermentation process in your other fermented drinks.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my ginger bug! It looked great when I made it... nice and frothy. I even had it on my counter for 6 days (in Texas heat and humidity) and fed it daily. I used organic cane sugar and reverse osmosis water. I could not find organic ginger so I took the peel off. I even used a bamboo stick to stir it! When I use it to make sodas, even with your ginger ale recipe, the tester bottle gets full of gas but the liquid remains flat and barely carbonated. Even after sitting out for days on my counter (in Texas heat) there were no bubbles at all. Any suggestions on what I could I do to fix it?

@FermentationAdventure 6 месяцев назад

Interesting! Did you ever figure out what was going on with this? Was it out of direct sunlight to make sure it doesn't get sterilized? Also maybe try using different kinds of bottles that hold pressure to make sure they're not leaking. We've had tester bottles that got rock solid but then when we opened it they didn't seem to have any carbonation, probably because they leaked a little bit. It sounds like you're doing everything right though! 🍺😊

I have a ginger bug for every gallon fermenter I have. I now make 2 gallons of Ginger bug ferments per week and 1/2 gallon of tepache as well. I use 1cup per 1 gallon so I feed it 1 table spoon of ginger and abut 1 table spoon of sugar and more water . I let it stand out for a couple of days to make it real active again. I then put the jars of bug back in the fridge for next week. This method has worked perfect for months now. I ordered another 1 gallon carboy so I will be making 3 gallons per week. That should keep me in fermented drinks with out running out. I drink 1 or 2 bottles of ferment per day. It has improved my gut health. Thanks.

@FermentationAdventure 4 года назад

@@creativemission1003 Hello, thanks for the question! No technically it shouldn't affect the fermentation if you found sugar ants floating on top. Whether or not you throw it out and start again is mostly your cringe-level with having bugs in your food. If it was us, we'd probably start over, but hey, people in some countries regularly eat bugs. It's really up to you. Good luck on your ferments!

@NBryanBlack 2 года назад

Thanks for these videos on the ginger bug and kombucha brewing! I do wonder about the prohibition about using metal for stirring, considering that you use a metal knife to cut the ginger, and in your case, a metal measuring spoon to add the ginger and sugar! Nevertheless, I just started my ginger bug a couple of days ago, so thanks for the inspiration and for showing how to do it!

@FermentationAdventure 2 года назад

Thanks for writing in! Definitely we'd recommend using caution around metal, although in all our years of fermenting, we have never had an issue with it. We only occasionally use metal, and when we do it's for short periods of time and also a higher quality, like stainless steel. We're excited about your ginger bug! You'll be able to make so many things with it!

I want to try the ginger bug too. I usually make a water kefir with ½cup of sugar in 1,5l water and bottle the batch with the juice of one small lemon to feed and flavor it. Then I grate fresh ginger into my glass before I drink it. I use the "lemonade" to carbonate any fruit juice I feel like.
