How to make a Ginger Bug (Ginger Beer Starter)

[RDubs]

Ooo, I love ginger beer and seeing how you made your ginger bug may have inspired me to make my own!

If you use white sugar you need molasses to go with it. Unprocessed sugar still has most of the natural nutrients still with it. Refined sugar has had it all striped. Demerara sugar is what you want.

You should also probably recommend distilled or RO water over tap because chlorine and chloramine can kill or inhibit yeast

Does anyone know if this is safe to make or drink during pregnancy? I was told mixed things about kombucha and kimchi bc of their live bacteria, but I have been craving them. I'm wondering if it's the same deal with making fresh gingerale

[jackhemm]

did you use filtered water or plain tap? i heard the chlorine can kill the yeast and the bug won’t work?

I made a cheong with some rookie mistakes but I’m going to do this next!

What about making vinegar, keep the ginger under water with sugar and salt once, stir everyday for 21 days, vinegar?

Actually this is a ginger beer plant. A ginger bug is when you introduce yeast to start a fermentation process. Still awesome you did this. What makes a ginger beer plant special is that it's a rare healthy bacteria and yeast symbiosis. The bacteria is a type of lactobacillus and is quite good for you.

For how long can you keep the ginger bug?

[jorgemccullough]

Ginger has a growth stunting hormone added to the skins.

Am from BHAARAT / INDIA.

Special variety MANGO GINGER
is available in some of Sothern parts, mainly used as a pickle.

If you are luckly enough, pick them UP.

Why have I gotten a video that starts with “this is a ginger bug” over the same clip of spoon dipping into a jar of ginger bug like 5 times in the past 12 hours?

I tried making a ginger bug but after a week it’s turned into a slimy snotty slurry with very few bubbles. Should I just start again?
