I made two ginger bugs about a month ago. In one I used white processed sugar and for the other I used sugar in the raw. I then made two batches of soda using the different bugs. For batch 1 I fermented store bought 100% mango juice. For batch 2 I used 3:1 pomegranate juice to sweet tea. The sugar in the raw bug fermented about twice as fast with a significant amount of fizz. Took about 24 hours from bottling to drinkable. The processed sugar ferments took about 45 ish hours but had less fizz overall. The taste was delicious for both though.
The sugar in the raw bug has been thriving and has happily been making numerous sodas for me over the last few weeks. I add about 1-2 ounces per bottle of juice and then top up the bug with sugar and water to keep it going.
So far the only failure has been trying to ferment 100% organic lemonade. After 50 hours of zero carbonation produced I tossed it. Probably too much acid for the yeasts to handle :/
Imagine a grown man’s reason to be kidnapped or held against his will was making a business and suddenly someone telling him all he had to do was become a farmer and make beer.🐥 Everyone gets baited.🐥
That method of using wild yeast to create a ginger bug is a bit of a lottery. You might end up with a very tasty ginger beer, you might get some off flavors. I personally like to start with commercial yeast and start a culture with low levels of ginger as the amount I’d use in ginger beer can kill or stunt normal yeast. Give it few days to ferment then add some more grated ginger and sugar and repeat. You are essentially doing some selective breeding of the yeast to get a strain that can handle the ginger’s antimicrobial properties. After a few repetitions you should have a good ginger bug that is a fairly clean yeast that can ferment ginger beer well. You can maintain the ginger bug separately like this or put your ginger beer in the fridge before drinking which causes the yeast to drop down to the bottom which you can use for the next batch. I find adding a few cloves to the mix improves the flavor.
This is a negative pranic food .
Does it contain alcohol?

No direct ingredient and measurements means a dislike button.

Thank you for that! I love it. Theres only one question that came up: after 4 days my ginger bug comes out a little bit slimey, is that normal?
That’s a lot of sugar 😬
What is the alcohol content of this mixture when it is completely finished?
This is a great vid. Thanks for sharing the process
❤❤ EXCELLENT 👌🥰
pretty cool but these tattoos belong in prison not on youtube
Instead of sugar it could be honey
Does this process produce any alcohol

That polytunnel looks so cosy, I’d just live inside it like some big weirdo.
My only problem is I’ll forget to burp em, wonder if using swing top bottles will help do it automatically if I don’t tighten em enough.. 😂
Fam your a game changer ty ✊️
I sell my pure urine wine
What about all that sugar? Not healthy
That’s a lot of sugar for a beer
Sugar free version please
Useless waste of time. No measurements. Typical crap video of the times…..

Will this become slightly alcoholic??

Can I wash the ginger first with water only to remove some dirt or dust or is that gonna badly affect my bug?
Yeah, but im trying to know what the alcohol volume is.
Add yeast let it sit for 8 days
