- Learn to make the essential ingredient for homemade ginger beer, the ginger bug.
This video is the first of a series of 4 that take you through the process of making your very own ginger beer/ale using all natural yeast and carbonation.
Recipe:
Thumb sized piece of ginger, about 2 tbsp
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups water
Grate the ginger into small pieces and add into a container that will hold at least 3-4 cups of water.
Add 2 cups of water into the container, and then add the sugar.
Stir to mix the sugar into the water and cover the jar with either a tightly woven cloth or it's lid.
Be sure to check out the video on how to feed your ginger bug to keep it healthy and strong. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Can I ask, should the smell change from pure ginger to ginger plus a slightly sharper scent as the bug ferments? I have had mine going for several days, bubbling, now about to make my first beer, just making sure I’m not about to poison myself.
The smell will definitely change as yeast builds up and eats the sugars so you have nothing to worry about there. If you see green mould however, toss it and start over.
White yeast will be seen on the bottom over time and that's completely normal :)
I want to avoid alcohol. If this process produces it, what should I do to minimize or entirely avoid it? Thanks!

Do you find it better to have the lid closed or open with a cloth over it while the ginger bug ferments?
as it's fermenting and gas is escaping you would want to have it open and cover with a cloth. If you do want to close it, you will have to 'burp' the container by opening and closing it to release the buildup of gasses so the pressure doesn't get too big and possibly break the container.
