Thankyou. One of THE best videos on this subject. Love this guys approach and laid back, no hype attitude . Total honesty, including the fact that one may not get around to feeding it every day or even every week. Addressed all the main important points . Many thanks.
@@julietberry5578 so glad you appreciated it!! 😊
My ginger starter stopped bubbling after the 3d day. Is it still alive? Can it be still good without apparent activity?
@Tucum0 that's exactly what I experienced. Kept feeding and it slowly resumed activity. I forgot how long it took now, a week or two. I think I mention it in the video. Don't give up!
@@jacobmacleod4054 thank you. I might wanna start a small batch just in case. The first one that stopped activity, i guess it was because i closed the jar tightly and didn’t let it breath the second day. Everything else was done according to the rules.
@@jacobmacleod4054 also, since I have plenty of dates in Saudi Arabia. Do you think if i add chopped up date would be a good idea to replace regular sugar when feeding the bug?
@Tucum0 you should just mail me all your extra dates!😂 That's an interesting idea! 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. The general rule is that once a culture is established, you don't want to alter its diet. Please let me know how it goes!
@@jacobmacleod4054 i will. Thanks for the advice!
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
@d4rkst3rIII thank you! Excellent tip, and I appreciate you sharing the physics behind it. Happy brewing!
The bug works great but making the actual soda using the bug never works. The bug is bubbly and alive then the soda is dead…. No fizz no nothing
@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?
Thanks Jacob for the information on maintaining ginger bug, very helpful.
Really nice explanation, thank you!
Hey, thanks!!! I turned into a fermenting fairy and started a ginger bug, water kefir, and a sourdough starter. My bug went flat too and I read an article that told me I probably overfed it (especially if it tastes really sweet). After 3 days not feeding it bubbled again! The loose top in fridge was a piece of info I couldn't find until you! Tks again!
I'm so glad it was helpful, happy fermenting!
"Twice" I felt that! 😅😂
Just started making my own sodas and this has helped me very much with a lot of the missing details!
I'm so glad! It's really fun to concoct your own recipes. Happy brewing!
Thanks Jacob. Bout teady to do the ginger beer but the fellow in another video didn't address the maintenance, so appreciate it! Have done kombucha but ready to change gears--thanks much!
Most welcome! I was in the exact same boat. Best of luck!
Same here with kombucha. Scoby keeps acting up so I’m going to try the bug.
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?
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!
PS: that's a heckuva salmon!!
@@jacobmacleod4054 thank you for the information and the compliment on the salmon. I caught it at point no point on the Kitsap Peninsula 2015 it was a 17 pounder.
My ginger bug got slimy on day 5. First time. I disinfected the jar, but not the cloth 🤔 What does slime mean?
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 ?
Thank God for you and this video!
Thanks Ginger! I tried to make what I couldn't find before I started my ginger beer journey. Happy brewing!!
After you add the bug to the tea how long do we feed the remaining bug before we can use it again
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.
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?
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!
Thank you for the great video. Yesterday I saw someone mention that white stuf on the bottom is the remnants of the bug's ingested food. Maybe so?
Gross!!! I hope not!!😅 someone said it is the starch from the ginger, so I'm going with that. Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Thanks for solving the mystery!
Hello! This video was super helpful and answered several questions I’ve had. I finally had my first successful ginger bug recently, realized I didn’t need it for a while and put it in the fridge. 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!
@@jacobmacleod4054 perfect! Thank you!
Hi, did you succeed making the soda? Did you feed them again or just use it straight away from the fridge? Would like to know your experience 😊
I think that it is starch at the bottom, because it is a root. Roots have lots of starch.
Do you capped the ginger bug? Does it under pressure? Should I keep it with a lose lid? Thank you
Ive been trying to find the answer to my question everywhere. And I know it applies to beet brewing. But does like damage the fermentation process using wild yeast or making a ginger bug??
Did you mean to ask about "light"? I know the conventional wisdom is you have to keep the fermentation out of the light, but I and others have had kombucha and ginger beer in the light and I've never noticed any adverse effects 🤷♂️
I'm just getting started and LOVE what you said about low maintenance. I live alone and if I have to fuss with it regularly, it ain't happening!
I know how you feel! Glad it helped :)
Thanks Jacob. Perfect video. Kids and I made a ginger bug but wanted to know how to look after the bug for future brews. We are looking forward to our first batch of ginger beer!
I'm so glad! Enjoy your brew :)
Very cool. I've made ginger beer before too. Mead also. 😉
Thx for the video. I`m new to fermenting, and you answered several things I was wondering about. with regards, Tor Bjarne
So glad to hear it! Good luck :)
Good info, wasn't sure if when refrigerating if the lid should be tight or loose... Thanks
I'd been on the hunt for how to maintain my ginger bug....and FINALLY...found your video with all the information I needed. Thank You!
I know how you feel! So glad it helped 🤠

Don't think so...??
I want to do this not to secure my pouches in one spot, but to raise the pouches.
Thor e Valquíria amoooo esse casal Thor and Valkyrie love this couple
I dont know if I’ll get drunk or sick it tastes a little bit alcoholic tnh
My understanding is that the longer you let it go, the more it can develop alcohol, but does so at a slower rate than with brewers yeast.
@@jacobmacleod4054 yeah for context I was speaking about the bug itself, took a shot of it and it tasted like alcohol. The booze it produced from what I can remember worked great. Got me pretty drunk with no diarrhea, which is what somebody told me would happen if i home brewed
@@harrypottersucks12 it doesnt really make more than 4% abv tho
I added yeast to my gingger bug at the beginning and sugared and added ginger (even pineapple skin on one of the days) and i made a batch of ginger beeer and now the rest im drinking just straight ginger bug
Thor is suppose to be the god of thunder and lightening but a simple taser takes him down. The entire story arc is plague with Inconsistent writing. Do these people even bother to look at the past movies they made?
