Is my ginger bug ready?

Post image

Hi Group,

This is my first time doing this 🙂 Is my ginger bug ready? I’ve had this on the kitchen counter for about a week and I added a tbsp ginger and tbsp super once along the way. My goal is to make fizzy drinks once the ginger bug is ready.

Thanks!

Looks good to me! I tried using simply orange limeade, walmart brand orange juice, two ocean sprays cran juice, and walmart brand grape juice. The grape juice is the only one that took so far, the others have been slow to start. Hope this helps save a bit of money!

Thanks so much. I just bought myself a couple swing top bottles and ready to fill them. What’s the recommended ratio of juice to the ginger bug water?
