Fermented Ginger Bug! 🫚
Rescue recipe Fermented Ginger Bug! 🫚 A ginger bug is a fantastic starter ferment as it’s so easy to make, it’s just ginger, unrefined sugar and filtered water and I’ll be using this as a probiotic starter to inoculate ginger beer and other wild sodas to guarantee they ferment well. The skin of the ginger is important as it has beneficial bacteria and wild yeasts. Mixing the root with water and sugar as a food source for the yeast and bacteria will create a bubbly, probiotic rich starter culture that will carry out the fermentation process. They eat the food source, then emit carbon dioxide, which creates the bubbles for those wild sodas, which I’ll be making and sharing soon. I only use organic or home grown ginger if possible, as conventional types are often irradiated and treated,
