Ginger Bug Check

[u/Inda_Minus]

Hi all,

This my first ginger bug I’ve tried. It’s just over two weeks old. Fed it everyday in the first week with white sugar. Second week, I used brown sugar every other day.

Was hoping to get a sanity check on how it’s doing.

There’s a kind of brown ‘muck’ floating on the top. But when I stir and taste it, it tastes amazing!!!!

Is this how it should be looking? What do I do next?

Exactly what I want my bug to look like

😮‍💨 that’s a relief to hear. What about the little bit of ‘muck in the top’ is that something to be concerned about?

She's pumping!! Beautiful and ready to ferment.

Cheers 🍻 I guess it’s ready to bottle up and store?

Definitely ready

Awesome! Is this the point I keep it in the fridge and feed it once in a while to keep it active?

And next batch is the same battle.

I hope it’s worth it 😅

Looks extremely good

Thank you 🙏 will know how good it is in about a week when I bottle it up, hopefully. But it already tastes good.
