  • Gingerbug

    From n2qfd@21:1/154 to All on Sun May 19 13:50:58 2024

    Hello All,

    I've just started a gingerbug here, (19MAY24). I'm used to making kvas but never my own starter culture. Typical for kvas I use a bread or when I get it beer yeast.

    So, today I'm trying to get a culture going from ginger root.

    (350ml) 1-1/2c water
    (14g) 1 tbsp grated whole ginger root
    (14g) 1 tbsp sugar

    I've read to repeat adding and stirring the ginger and sugar 5 days and see what I get.

    I'd be more apt to just keep making kvas but I can't seem to get the bread I want. Folks out here are as wonder-bread as they come. If you want darker it's a specialty loaf with the price tag to be expected and doesn't end up on the old racks with the other near stale goods.

    So, gingerbug as a fermenter and going to try a store bought juice to carbonate.

    Anyone else doing this?
