A Ginger Bug is a fermentation starter for making homemade carbonated beverages. It's easy to make and only takes a few minutes a day of preparation over the course of 5 days to ferment. Once it's fermented, you will add a 1/4 cup of the ginger bug liquid to a quart of a sweetened beverage that you'll decant into a sealed bottle. Left undisturbed, the sweetened liquid ferments and becomes a carbonated drink that is gut healthy and probiotic rich and much better for you than commercially made sodas.

Hey Mary. Can I use honey instead of sugar?
@@cesarchamorroromero actually, Honey is a natural antibiotic and shouldn’t be used with fermentation as it kills the “good bugs”
I just started a Ginger bug but the recipe called for 2 cups of water??? Oh boy, I'll have to t restart.
Someone gifted me a 20 pound box of ginger. After giving away 16 pounds of it, I started looking for things to do. Mary’s ginger bug to the rescue! It’s day 5 now, not sure it’s fermented enough. But I’m excited to check out your videos of what to do with this!
Try doing candied ginger also! Wow that was a blessing!! I'm growing organic ginger this year!! In containers can't wait to see my results!
Can I use sugar beet sugar?
I use a lot of ginger in my daily juice (I have a Breville juicer, highly recommend!)
Wow! 20 pounds of pure gold! I hope you took some and began growing your own, I have and it’s fun watching the shoots sprout. 😊
You can freeze ginger too, not sure if it will ferment after it's frozen but, cook with it, always have it on hand
Obrigada pela dica maravilhosa! Thanks you for the wonderful tip.
Sweet.
Thank you Mary
I need this... and what a beautiful kitchen.
Thank you. Just making my first ginger bug and you explained the next part perfectly
I love learning these new processes that you teach us. I would love to try making this ginger for an ale. I can’t wait to see the next video on this in 5 days. Have a great weekend. 💖😊
Catherine's Plate - Hi Catherine! So glad you enjoy this sort of stuff! We’re going to have a lot of fun making homemade sodas! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I'm on day two of my ginger bug and pineapple vinegar. I'm so thankful for you and sharing your wisdom. God bless you.
Yum! I'll be picking up some ginger root this weekend 😁 Thsnk you for sharing! God bless
Beulah Land Homestead Farm - Wonderful!! We’re going to have a lot of fun making carbonated beverages! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Hello Mary. About a year ago, TH-cam suggested watching a video on making my own unfermented ginger ale. But I have recently discovered fermentation. I had no idea ginger ale could be fermented until TH-cam suggested your ale video. In another video, I think it was the strawberry soda video, you mention root beer as a possibility. Mind Blown. Next I plan to watch your beet kvass and Kiefer videos. I've subscribed. And hope to learn as much as I can..
Thanks for the video Mary.. I am a ginger bugger too :) I just cut my ginger into small pieces..for the starter... And after it has been in the starter for a while.. I strain it out.. I put it in the food dryer and it is so delicious.. your very own dried candied ginger. ..
(you know.. can't throw out anything :)
On a low setting it keeps the good bacteria in it.. so super good for you too.
After I boil the ginger for the ginger beer.. I strain that out and dry that too.. Keeps you in a lifetime supply of ground ginger.. And for some reason-after all that.. The ginger is hotter then ever.. Go figure.. When i search for my ginger pieces to bring home.. I look for the nub starts on the ginger and then if I find some I will break them off and plant them.. a win/win.. :)
IMO about the honey use someone asked about.. I agree with you... tho I LOVE my bees, and my raw honey... Honey can kill bacteria, that is some of it's amazing qualities, but not what you want in a fermented starter. (Store honey might be different-IDK) But they can give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks Mary.. fun video again :)
Thanks so much for all the great info!! I always look forward to reading your comments!! And you know that I love hearing all the ways you use your ginger!! About how long does it take you to grow your own crop? I have found that it can take a good years to get a really nice supply going! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest~ I don't grow a crop as much as I have big pots of them... and they have to come in the greenhouse in the fall.. very sensitive to cold temps. I am sure in Tx. you are able to keep it going year round, except for the snafu of the certain - at least one dip to low. They are very much the same as turmeric. But you have to know that your own-freshly dug, is better then anything else you can get. ;) Thanks again Mary :)
Green Rage - How true!! Our own home grown is better. It takes a good while to get ginger going, even here in Texas. I think I am going to try it in pots and then bring it inside when we have a cold snap. Thanks for the tip!!❤️😘❤️
Lovely suggestions. ..thanks a ton!
I know people who use honey for their ginger bug without any problems. I plan to use honey for mine.
Thank you nice lady.
How interesting, I'll try it! Thank you!
Will certainly try this Mary. Thank you for the recipe Mary. Xxx
Hi Patricia, So happy you will give this a try. It will be fun to make "fizzy" drinks with this!! Love, Mary
Grapefruit spoons are a must have in my kitchen. One time when I couldn't find my micro-grater, (my late husband had taken it out on the patio to use and left it) I actually used the grapefruit spoon to scrape the ginger for a recipe in which slices or chunks weren't really an option. Not as quick but it worked!
Love this backsplash tile
I cannot get enough ginger. This sounds wonderful!
Thank you Mary 😊
So excited starting this soon
Hi Mary ! Great video- thank you !!! Exciting !!
Hi Linda, Please forgive my delay. I just saw this comment. Thank you so much for visiting and glad you liked the video. Hope you'll give a ginger bug a try. Love, Mary
Love all your videos !!!
Hi Mary, this was very interesting. Thank you🦋💜
Tammy Hanson - Hi Tammy, So happy to hear that you liked it! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thank you Mary! Wonderful information and another beautiful presentation 💕 A ginger bug has been on my to do list to try. I've made lacto fermented blueberry soda a couple times & would like to make that & other sodas using a ginger bug. So easy, tasty & actually good for us, unlike store bought sodas which wreak havoc on our bodies. Great advice about keeping different ferments separated. I have sourdough, kefir & fermented fruits/veggies going all the time & keep each in its own area to avoid contamination 😊
Hi Cami, I just love your enthusiasm for making traditional nutrient dense foods!! And your blueberry soda sounds wonderful!! Sounds like you have a lot of wonderful things going in your kitchen!! So glad you're here - We are kindred spirits!! Love, Mary
I used to make kumbucha but I didn't know we can make probiotic drink like this. I certainly going to try this because I loved ginger.

Hello again, just adding my applause for another vid well done! 👍💞
Shandar ...👍👍👍👍
Thanks dear
Mary I've never heard of this before watching the video but it sounds delicious - I love Kombucha and the like, and the idea of a ginger-type fermenter drink sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing :)
Hannah Small - Hi Hannah, so glad you like the sound of this! We will have some fun “together“ here making some fermented probiotic sodas!! 😋😋😋 They’ll be delightful to have on hand for this summer! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
@@MarysNest haha that sounds wonderful! I cannot wait 😋 it sounds like a very tasty way to get more probiotic foods in!
Hannah Small - I think SO too!! 😋😋😋
Love your smile and the info!
wow you've got a wonderful smile. always makes my day!
just noticed something, you should keep the ginger skin on as that's the most active part of ginger.
I love ginger....can't wait to make this!!! Thank Mary!! k :)
I am so happy to hear this!! I love the ginger bug, not only for making homemade ginger ale but for also simply adding a little bit to other beverages. Love, Mary
Excellent
I enjoy your channel so much.
I trust your recipes. Great to have you as a friend.
Thank you so much 😊
Lovely. My ginger will be ready soon.
Thanks so much for visiting!! Wonderful!! So glad to hear that you are growing ginger. Have you found that it can take 9 months or more to get a really good crop?

@@MarysNest watched your bone broth video yesterday and I'm hooked for life. Liked, subscribed and notified. My ginger has been in the ground 7 months or so now. We did a test harvest on the weekend they have been drying all week. Used some in my ginger garlic paste yesterday and the flavor was nice and strong. We will harvest week after next when classes are on break.
I actually live on the Caribbean island of Antigua and cooking foods from all over the world. I look forward to all of the things I will learn from you.
I made my ginger bug today! It’s hot this week and a cold ginger soda sounds so good!
So how did you get enough liquid after the 5 days to get 1/4C out then how did you re-feed? Im on day 3 and is bubbling but not much liquid, should I up the liquid?
@@judypeterson9952 yeah you can up the liquid. 1/4 cup is only 4 tablespoons. Also fermenting is dynamic. If you have a little more or less than a 1/4 cup it will still work. As long as there’s yeast and sugar it will ferment!
Very cool! I fed tonight, added 1/4 (day 3) 2tbl ginger, 1tbl sugar will keep this up for the next 2 days, now to watch more videos to see whats next?
Very nice
This worked PERFECTLY! I made strawbeey soda, blueberry soda and ginger ale. Thank you! Next spring I'm making elderberry soda.
some elderberry has to be cooked.
Great idea!!! ❤
I'm going to be sitting on pins and needles now for the next FIVE DAYS. I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to make my own ginger ale!!! Here in MI, ginger ale is called: *Vernor's*, because the factory is located here. I have always used it for medicinal purposes, ie: Vernor's, lemon & honey, heated and stir all the fizz out equals hot tottie. There's always the option of adding a little whiskey in there for adults. ;) CAN'T WAIT!!! :-D
Love & prayers
Back when I drank commercial-Verner's was the best :)
Hi Kathleen, I came out with the video today! Love, Mary
Vernor's still in business? I thought the grandkids sold out to a big corporation like, back in the '80s.
looking forward to seeing how to make a fizzy drink :-)
Hi Andrea, Yes - it will be fun!! Love, Mary

Today I am sharing 5 Ways to Use Bone Broth. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/G-lF1ayQ85k/w-d-xo.html
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm so happy to help!
Well, i have a ginger bug started several yrs. ago. I checked it today, still fizzy, i decided to feed it. Gave it 1 tb sucanat sugar. It fizzed up got a bit excited. I havent fed it for over a year, kept in a half gallon jar. Its about a half full of giner, rest is liquid. Not a bad flavor. Smells beerish. Im going experiment this week with some fruit or lemons. Great strong recipe. Take care.
Lee and Daniel love to drink soda. I drink ginger ale sometimes if I am feeling nausea since I sometimes have motion sickness. I used medicine and Healing-Scents Motion Sickness/Nausea inhaler during my trip to visit my relatives since you can't bring drinks on planes. Looking forward to learning how to make them.
Hi Jean, So sorry for the delay! Just saw this comment!! Came out with the video for homemade ginger ale today! Love, Mary
Ever tried a real ginger sweet? I think it's helpful!
That's a cute kitchen
Mary dear I just love your video's and when I can I will join, bless you and all
Hi Mary, I love your videos. I started a ginger bug yesterday. I ground my ginger with a Ninja. I ground too much so I pu
Hi Mary! I love your videos, you always make me smile when you say "hello, sweet friends!"! It never fails! Anyway, I'm making this Ginger Bug and have followed the directions to a 'T'. There is some mild activity but nothing like I'd expect to see and it still smells very much like ginger. It's April in Toronto, Canada and I'm wondering if I could set this on a heating pad or somehow provide it with some heat to help it get going... Any thoughts? Also, I made the sauerkraut... Delicious! 😋
Hi Emily...my sweet fried!! Thank you for the kind words. Your idea sounds like a good one. It might need a bit of warmth. Keep me posted. ❤️🤗❤️
Hello. Lovely to watch, as always. May I ask, can honey work in place of sugar?
Love your videos. Trying again to make ginger bug. Pealing carefully and grating ginger. Plain white sugar and spring water daily. Coffee filter and elastic. Day six and No fizz!,, We are having a cool spring, should I put in oven with oven light on?
Good tip on the no crossing bacteria when fermenting two or more things. Mary, I have been terrified to start these types of things. I LOVE ginger ale and such and ginger in tea...this will be the first ferment I try when I move! (Which I hope will be soon!) ❤️
Hi Susan! I'll be here to help you every step of the way!! Oh my goodness!!...Will you be moving soon!! Did you sell your house!! Love, Mary
Mary's Nest need to-realtor showing Monday afternoon. Please pray it sells! Thanks so much! Life has been a good kind of crazy but a normal routine of sorts would be great, too! Excited to start our first real life adventure!!
@@myrevival4325 - Oh Susan!! I will be storming heaven with prayers. I am SO excited for you!! Keep me posted!! Love, Mary
I have jars of dehydrated ginger slices with the peel on. Can I use this instead of freshly grated? And if so approximately how much. Thank you Mary! Your videos are so informative
I like your video 📹♥
Hi Mary, I like the way you explain in your videos. I appreciate it. I tried ginger bug for the first time and it turned out to be slimy. Is it good to use for ginger ale recipe? Your videos has inspired me to go traditional way. Thank you
I don’t think it’s supposed to be slimy. I would dump that batch and try again using organic sugar and don’t peel the ginger as the skin is important in the fermentation process.
I love Your show. My ginger bug has been quite active. Can I just keep it going indefinitely? Or is there a time to throw it all out and start over.. Its just so handy as it ferments my sodas quickly. Thanks Mary.
Wonderful!! You can keep it going indefinitely. 🤗 ,
Thanks for the tip about ensuring fermented foods aren't neighbors!!!
Hi Mary, I just started watching you're videos and you are awesome! Quick question, we are supposed to do the starter for 5 days, what happens if you miss a day, do you have to start over😅
How did it turn out? Im wondering how after 5 days there's enough liquid to get 1/4 cup? I see so e videos use much more water?
Another great video! I have no white sugar (the store is not close by) can I use honey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to do all this reading you do and answers. I so enjoy reading comments and your answers are so wonderful to see. It shows me you do appreciate your viewers. God Bless
Hi Denise, that’s a great question. I need to be a little unpredictable since it contains antibacterial agents that may work against the fermentation process. However, that said I have heard from others that in some cases they have had success. Use a pourable liquid honey and preferably one that has been pasteurized as opposed to being raw. That might work. Keep me posted. If you enjoy making Traditional Foods, be sure to head over to my TH-cam channel’s home page where I share lots of playlists of videos that I think you will enjoy.

@@MarysNest thank you I was wondering about that I think maybe I'll just wait and get the white sugar. God Bless
Hi Lovely lady. Thank you for being my favourite youtuber. And for educating me.
May I ask, does this work for anything other than ginger?
Hi Jay, Thank you for the kind words. That’s a great question. Yes, you can also ferment fruit to use to make different types of soda but it isn’t as “perpetual” in nature as the ginger, since fruit ferments quickly turn to alcohol (think wine) and then vinegar. Hope this helps. 🤗
@@MarysNest You are very welcome. I find the UK doesn't seem to have many people demonstrating the skill and expertise you do. Thank you. I shall investigate further. Unless of course you already covered this. In which case, I shall find it! Keep up your brilliant work. 💕💕
This is wonderful I was just wondering can I add a probiotic to this?
2T microplaned ginger
1T sugar
2T CHLORINE free water
Add & stir to quart jar with breathable cover.
Repeat each day for 5 days.
Start using, feeding as above 1/ week in frig.
I didn't see a recipe link so this is for future reference.
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much!
Thanks
Hi Mary! Ty for wonderful details, I started a ginger bug a bit different recipe: 1 tabl ginger, 1 tabl sugar to 1.5 oz clean water, feed for 5 days. Then used a quart jar and a pickle pipe. Today is my last day to feed and I have no bubbles or yeasty smell, my kitchen is cool during winter months, do you think I might need a few more days out of fridge and daily feeding? Thank you so kindly for responding!!
Hi thank you for this! I've never heard of ginger bug before so I want to give this a try. And its a must because its a good probiotic drink. Can I double up the ratio instead of 2T of ginger will make it 4T. I want to make more😊
Definitely :-)
Thanks for all your great videos! This is the second time I have tried making Ginger Bug, and after 5 days it's not fizzy. Could it be because I used puréed ginger which I keep in the freezer but add it to the jar at room temperature? Tia
Wonderful! Thank you for making this video. Cheers to health 💕

Do you happen to know any breweries that make fermented but non-alcoholic beverages that are good for our gut? My fiancé and I tried making some of these healthy drinks at home but we both work and never had enough time and attention to be successful... I was hoping that I could maybe find a brewery that we can order them from in Dallas.

Mary's Nest Hi Mary! I never eat out and it’s just me and my old man. He’ll be 14 next month and has 4 legs and his name is Andy. Lol. He’s blind but gets around really well even at night. He’s a wire haired dachshund. 90% of my diet is fresh produce the other 10 is dairy. I’m 53 and just found out that I’m going to be a grandma for the first time. I always cooked healthy meals for my children. I’ve learned so much from you, Heidi and Stacy. So I am looking forward to learning more skills from your videos. I’ve never made bread or bone broth. I’m growing potatoes garlic and ginger in cardboard boxes in my backyard and have bought containers to grow some tomatoes peppers onions beets radishes and herbs this year. Oh and spinach and lettuce 🥬. Thanks for the videos and taking your precious time to reply. Love, Wendy
Wendy C. - Oh Wendy, Thank you SO much for sharing your life with me!! Love that you have a dog!! I do too!! I love dogs!! Congratulations on becoming a grandmother soon… How exciting! Glad to hear you’re growing lots of wonderful things. You have a great diet of fresh vegetables! So glad you’re here! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Mary's Nest I just love dogs too! And horses! I wish I could have them all😉
Wendy C. - oh my goodness me too! I’d have 10 dogs if my husband would put up with it! LOL!😂😂😂
Mary you are so sweet easy to understand you
Hi Mary, I am definitely going to try this this Summer. You mention putting sugar in this, I just wonder, would it be advisable to use sugar with a sourdough? Just a thought. And also on the chlorine, I think maybe setting chlorinated water out for a hour might be enough to eliminate the chlorine. You might check on that but IDK that sitting out all night is required to evaporate chlorine. Have fun!
Hi Bill, Thanks for the tip about the water! Great info!! You raise and interesting question about sourdough. Yes, you can add sugar if things seem very slow to get going however, you need to be careful so as to not give the good bacteria too much to eat and not the yeast. The bacteria gobbles up the sugar quickly and when it releases that CO2, the starter can begin to take on that vinegary smell as opposed to a yeasty smell but you can combat this by feeding your starter - along with a bit of sugar - and then putting it in the fridge. The cold slows down the bacteria. Yes, it slows down the yeast too but yeast does better in the cold than the bacteria so the bacteria doesn't get out of control. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
Hi Mary, how do we maintain the ginger bug? I have ginger but leftover after making the soda. Thank you so much!!
As far as I understand you store it in the refrigerator similar to a sourdough starter and feed it every week to keep it alive and take as much you need for one soda.
She talks about storing the ginger bug in the other video.
th-cam.com/video/pdtQpBT4PIM/w-d-xo.html
Mary, so excited to try this. Question: can you start with frozen ginger? As I don’t go to grocery every day, I keep supply of ginger in my freezer.
Hi Joy, Hmmm...that is an interesting question. I am not 100% sure but I would give it a try. What I would do is bring it up to room temperature first, then chop it all up - I wouldn't worry about grating it as that might be a mess. And then just proceed with the sugar water mixture. I think it may just work! Keep me posted! Love, Mary
My mum used to pop her ginger in a flowerpot of earth....she always seemed to have some available!
Mary!
Where do you get those beautiful aprons? I am a full figured woman like you and the aprons in most stores are not big enough. I appreciate your channel so much.
Hello Mary! your videos are so helpful! Thank you. Is it necessary for the ginger bug to be bubbly before I actually make it into ginger ale? I have done all the steps as you described but maybe my house wasn't warm enough with our air conditioning on.
Yes, you will want it to be somewhat bubbly. And it does need some warmth. Try wrapping it in a dish towel and putting it on top of your refrigerator to keep it warm and cozy. Keep me posted.

I did move it out to my warm garage and put it on top of the refrigerator but I never got bubbles.
Could you do a video about making root beer from the ginger bug.
Will do!!🤗
2 quick questions: how do I know when it's safe to refrigerate my bug, and does it remain covered by the coffee filter or do I use the lid?
Hello Mary,
Can I use a larger jar then the quarter jar you used?
Hi Ms. Mary,
Does any of these two fermentation process (Ginger Bug and Ginger Ale) make any alcohol?
Actually, if your area uses chloramine to purify water, an old brewer’s trick to eliminate it is to stir in vitamin c powder. Apparently 1/4 teaspoon will eliminate the chloramine from about 5 gallons of water.
I am looking forwards to making my own sodas and fruit drinks. Thank you for the video today on gingerbug. I have made a few ferments before and I have to ask, the gingerbud does not mold? My biggest fear. Thanks.
Karen Tidwell - Hi Karen, Ginger by its nature is great at preventing mold. And also, since you will be adding fresh ginger, sugar, and water every day - and stirring it daily - that will help tremendously to prevent the mold. At that point you can refrigerate it and just feed it once a week which is what I like to do - as opposed to keeping it out on the counter and feeding it daily. Hope this helps! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
@@MarysNest It really does, thanks so much.
Karen Tidwell - so happy to help!❤️😘❤️
this is amazing, thank you))) please tell, could I use some fruit to feed the bug (like lemon or such)? I am not using sugar and try to avoid it.
I understand that fructose is sugar as well, but if I need to feed the bug with smth, I'd rather replace sugar with lemons, if it'll work....
That's a great question. You can try using lemons but not sure if they will provide enough food for the good bacteria. But it's certainly work experimenting with. Can you use molasses? You could try that and see if it would work. So glad you like this video. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest thank you Mary. Unfortunately I cannot use molasses, but I will let you know what the result be with lemons☺️😉
hey Mary! I managed to make some amazing ginger ale/beer from my ginger bug, however I run into an issue. after bottling up and storing it for some days the gas accumulation will get so high that upon opening the bottles a good amount of the innards come bursting out, this is not an issue for my own consumption, but I plan on selling to friends and family. what can I do to prevent my friends from this messy surprise?
ok, can you clarify for me, please? when you make the very first two tsps of ginger and water, do you leave it for 5 days and then add daily for 5 days, or do you add daily from day one through to day 5?. I absolutely love ginger
Great question. You add it daily for the first five days. Hope this helps. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Hello Mary, thanks so much for all your informative tutorials! I really enjoy not only the learning, but your sweet presence as well. Question: I have read elsewhere that it is beneficial to leave the skin on the ginger when making the ginger bug, for more yeast activity to help make the beneficial bacteria/probiotics. Have you heard this, or does the skin not matter? Thanks for your help!
Thank you SO much for visiting. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos - and thank you SO much for the kind words!! Yes, that is true about the skin. The skin always contains lots of natural yeasts and bacteria. That is why I like to use organic ginger. However, that said, if you can't find organic ginger, you can decide whether or not to peel it. Maybe what the ginger has been exposed to in the soil isn't too bad - and given that it is a small amount compared to the water and sugar - it might be OK. What do you think?

I left just a few bits of my last ginger bug and it reactivated 5 hours after I did a double ginger/sugar/water recipe. Super fizzy. I wonder if it was ready to go or not. I let it go overnight, but man it was fizzy!
Hi. I found you by shear good luck. My question is, can I use distilled water? Thank you for your time.
Great question. I think it should be OK but some believe that the minerals in water help the process. But if all you have is distilled water, I would give it a try. Glad you're here! Love, Mary
We are on a strict sugar-free diet. Does all of the sugar get eaten by the bacteria? I have seen Ginger beers with stevia in the supermarkets which we have purchased and are delicious. However, they are quite expensive. Is there a way to make this sugar free or is there no sugar leftover by the time it is fermented? Many thanks
Thank you for ginger bug recipe. Tomorrow I make the gingerale from it, but notice that you only use 1/4 cup of the ginger bug. Is the rest of the ginger bug to be stored in fridge? How long will it store before I need to use it up, please?
You can store it in the fridge and feed it once per week or you can leave it on the counter and feed it daily. It will last indefinitely x like a sourdough starter - if you maintain it.

August 2023, going to try this with freeze dried ginger today and see how it works
I just started with ground ginger. I hope 1 teaspoon is ok I'm a little low for a tablespoon right now. I also bought a rhizome at the market. I'm waiting for roots and stems to come out, it's in water. I'll have all kinds of ginger. :) I'm getting white "flecks" on the water. And the ginger is dark. I might use 1 teaspoon of water. Later anyway. There's some extra water in there.
Hum this ground ginger isn't working out too well. I might even have to try chopping up a piece of ginger from the store. I would really enjoy this working. Something must be wrong. I started with 1/4 cup distilled water and 2 teaspoons of white sugar and ground ginger. And fed it every day 1 teaspoon of sugar and ginger. maybe I should wait more than everyday.
I tried this three times and could never get it to ferment.I concluded that my air-conditioned house was too cool to allow it to ferment. Now I have three jars of sugary Ginger water in my refrigerator and I'm not sure what to do with them.
Kusheen was here...

I am making some of your fermented sauerkraut. Could I have put a coffee filter with the elastic(instead of a clean towel) on the top of each quart jar of the sauerkraut like you are doing here with the ginger bug?
Hi Linda, Thanks for visiting. No, that won't work. A ginger bug is an aerobic fermentation - it needs air. And sauerkraut is an anaerobic fermentation - no air.

Thank you Mary!
This is my day 5.... again. This time I just realized I've been adding 2 TBS instead of 1 of sugar... Can it be saved?
I have, however grately (ha ha) improved my finger handling skills. And proactively purchased 2lbs of organic ginger...
Good morning America, how are ya?
I definitely think it can be saved. Stir it a lot and let it take in some good bacteria from the air. Love, Mary

This is the 5th day. This ginger has one heck of a bite. And a bit sweet. I guess I can stir everyday. not bubbling for sure.
Hi Bill, Yes, it does have a bite!🤗 are you keeping it in a warm place? Love, Mary
@@MarysNest No not really. If it ever warms up around here, I thought it might, I will take it outside on the porch and let the sun light shine on it for an hour or two a day for a couple of days. Maybe that will help. I have been having to turn the heat on around here. Just when I thought it was going to get warmer. There's enough sugar in there, it should start right off. I'll let you know how it goes. :) It's in a good place sunny but not direct sunlight, when there is sunlight. It's been raining all day for two straight days.
Bill C - Wow!! It’s amazing how different climates can be. It’s sunny here and in the 90s (Fahrenheit). We could use a little of your cooler rainy weather. ❤️🤗❤️
@@MarysNest Yes Indeed. The entire state of WV is covered by rain I believe. There is a dry heat here. In the 90s and you walk a block you'll be soaked in sweat. I did check that salt bread recipe, do you happen to have the cornmeal method of doing that salt bread? You talked about the starter but used the potato starter, there wasn't a cornmeal version of baking salt bread. I will let you know how the ginger bug goes. I really need to try it. I drink too much processed soda pop.
Where can I find rootbeer flavoring? Love your video's
Leatha Butts - Hi Leatha, That is a good question! Natural root beer is made from sassafras bark. But if you are looking for an extract/flavoring, I think you might find it at the grocery store and/or online at places like Amazon. As you search for it, keep me posted. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️ PS... so glad you like my videos! BTW... Do you enjoy making other traditional foods? I have a playlist of my videos titled "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Real Foods Cooking".

I make kombucha and am going to get water keifer grains on the 3rd I learning so much from you.
@@leathabutts1405 - Oh Leatha! I am SO happy to hear that!! Love your enthusiasm for traditional foods!! So glad you are here!! Love, Mary
Mary, I bought a high price microplane to grate ginger. It is so frustrating to use. The ginger gets caught in the gates and then I have trouble scraping it out. Please do a video on microplaning herbs. Help!
