    Just a note, I'm on day 7 of feeding my ginger bug and just realised I added too much yeast as the recipe states 2 different quantities in ingredients & method - ingredients says TSP, method says tbsp. You might want to amend...I'm not too bothered as enjoying the process ...just hope it works ...if it's more alcoholic that's great too 😄

    Hi! I'm in the process of making this. Thanks for sharing. Any other pointers I should be aware of? What sort of percentage do you think it has after 2-3 weeks? Also how long can you use the same 'starter'? Do you advise re-starting the ginger bug from scratch at some point. Thanks again for posting this.
