I would start another batch, feeding it dates from the beginning, or split your culture and keep feeding one sugar in case the dates don't work out.

    hello, i jumped on the comment to thank you for the video, i found it very interesting. i would like to add few things, if you have a bottle or a batch of ginger beer or aby drink fermented with ginger bug, you should bring the bottle to a temperature of 3 C or slightly under and you will be able to open the bottle without problem. the co2 reduce its dimension at that temperature and make it safe to open a highly carbonated bottle.once the fluid gets warmer the co2 will get back dimension and the drink will fell nicely carbonated

      @AutumnleafMind darn! Sorry to hear that! I frequently have one in most batches that never gets carbonated. I do everything I can to ensure they're all the same. When I taste it, it's defibrillator l definitely fermenting, just not building pressure. This is a mystery to me. Especially if you're getting bubbles in your bug,I don't understand why you're not getting pressure in the ginger beer. I wish I knew more and had something helpful to say! Perhaps toss it and start over, maybe there's a weird yeast or bacteria that's just not giving you the results...? You're not in Washington state are you?

    I have a question for you when I made my ginger bug for the first time about four days later it got the fermenting bubbles but then it quit bubbling after about two days even though I was feeding it every day and then I never saw the fermentation bubbles in it again. Is that normal? Is it still active and usable?

    • @jacobmacleod4054
      @jacobmacleod4054 9 місяців тому

      Hi Donna, I thought I touched on this in the video, but I found a video or site (I've forgotten now) that explained a particular type of yeast can rapidly take over when starting a bug, but then it dies off, and the other, long-term species gradually colonize it. I believe that's what happened with me and sounds like what's happening with you. I just kept feeding it, and made sure it never got nasty. After a few weeks, it started to get slowly bubbly again, and then has worked perfectly for years. Make sure your water isn't chlorinated, or anything else that might be inhibiting microbial growth. You could try making a small batch with the bug, but my guess is that if it's not bubbly at all in the bug, it won't make a soda bubbly. Good luck!

  • @justrandomfootage23
    @justrandomfootage23 Рік тому

    Need some of your advice, I made 2 ginger bugs both failed at day 5-6. Setting: sanitized jar, with kitchen cloth on top and elastic, over that i put a loose glass lid that came with the jar, gas can escape but not easily get in. I use organic ginger and white sugar. My house is 22 degrees Celsius (mild summer), and the jar is not in direct sunlight. - First ginger bug was: 500ml water, 25 g ginger, 25 g sugar daily Day 1,2,3 and 4 went great bubbling quite a bit. then evening of day 4 it bubbled away and fed it. Morning of day 5 it was flat and no bubbles. I left it for a few days but molded and never started bubbling again. I read it might have been too much sugar so then attempt number 2. Same setting This time 500 ml water, 25 g ginger, 25 g sugar on Day 1 Day 2,3,4,5 i added 10 g ginger and 10 g sugar (so more then half of before) It bubbled great on all days then in the morning of day 6 again it was flat and dead. I put it in the fridge, took it out 4 days later but no life. Any clues whats wrong ?

  • @juzekkt
    @juzekkt Рік тому

    You're absolutely right about shaking it, it dissolves oxygen into it which helps the bug to ferment. Its common to aerate the must before pitching yeast when homebrewing and so it applies here too.

  • @415sf2
    @415sf2 Рік тому

    Do you have to put the ginger bug in the refrigerator at some point? Like if you are just going crazy making sodas, constantly feeding it and taking from it does it ever need to go in the refrigerator because of spoilage issues? Would you say maybe having multiple bugs would better to allow the bugs to some time chill out in the refrigerator?

    • @jacobmacleod4054
      @jacobmacleod4054 Рік тому

      The only time you need to put it in the fridge is if you want to slow the metabolism/functioning of the bug. Otherwise, it's happy to make as much soda as you can get out of it. If you're making lots of soda, you'll need a bigger bug to draw from, and feed it more accordingly. My friend keeps his bug in a gallon jar and feeds it a cup at a time. But he makes batches of soda 5 gallons at a time. Hope that helps!

    The stuff at the bottom of your bug jar is ginger starch. i make ginger compresses by steeping ginger and this starch will build up at the bottom of the pot. It's super spicy. I've often thought of drying it out for medicinal purposes.

But now I’m getting ready to make more fermented juices/sodas and I am wondering about when I bring my bug out of the fridge, can I just immediately use the bug or should I let it sit out and feed it and get it all bubbly again?

      Hi Renee, glad it helped! If you're bug is alive, but dormant from being in the refrigerator, you can use it right away, I frequently do. The biology will wake up just fine whether in the bug jar, or your new soda. I just make sure to shake it up well if it's been sitting for a while. Good luck!
