    Leaving the skin on the ginger is an important part of transforming this into a great probiotic
  • @120id9
    Pro tip: the easiest way to peel ginger without wastage is by scraping the skin off with a normal stainless steel spoon. Works perfectly as long as the gingerā€™s not too dried up and shriveled
  • @CringeOMusic
    Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much time, money, and effort Paul and Sarah put into their videos? Thank you so much, Paul and Sarah, for helping me make my ginger bug for my sassafras root beer and my kvass! ā¤
  • @leahc4743
    Very informative & love both your personalities & enthusiasm! New viewer & subscriber here: Iā€™m looking forward to following your journey & learning to ferment for myself at home! As a formal educator of 9 years: I can say your teaching skills are top notch: easily accessible: clear: concise: & fun! Iā€™m lucky to have you two as guides in the fermenting world!
  • @jeanninej224
    Thank you for this video! Iā€™ve watched about a dozen others on making ginger beer/ginger bug and your video is by far the easiest to understand for someone like me whose never fermented anything!
  • @PhatBoyiee
    Great video! I agree with everything you said except distilled water. I have experimented with filtered, filtered then boiled, distilled and spring water. Spring water worked the best. Also grated ginger gave me the fastest results as the ginger once grated seemed to have released more if its enzymes.
  • @jomama5212
    you guys are the cutest fermentation nerds ever! love yalls energy
  • My fermenting journey started about two years ago and I just found your channel today. Thanks, YT suggestions!! šŸ˜ I canā€™t believe as much as I love ginger ale, that Iā€™ve never made a ginger bug, and homemade ginger ale. I started my ginger bug today. You both are fun to watch and I look forward to binge-watching your videos!
  • @dustytrayl
    Been watching for a while now. Love the content. That being said, the best tip you gave me has kept me from throwing away a cutting board! It would spin and slide, but now it works great! Thanks!!
  • @itsok7314
    Seeing this video 3 years after its been uploaded, Thank you for the perfect explanation that even me, a teenager understood everything very well and now im starting my fermentation journey. I hope it works and thanks again!
  • @TheNlopez91
    Thank you so much for all of your videos. Iā€™ve always wanted to make a ginger bug and your videos gave me confidence. I have a passion for fermentation specially milk kefir and kombucha wish I have been making for over 6 years now. Your videos and explanations are the best. I never had a testing bottle before but Iā€™m ready to try it out, that sounds like a super smart thing to do. Thanks again.
  • Hey guys! Thank you so much for your ginger bug recipe video! I love your style and chilled vibe! You two are awesome! Thanks again!
  • @clojp7842
    I've seen so many videos explaining the whole process and I was not able to fully understand untill I saw the whole process from the day to day that you did, great for those visual learners šŸ˜…
  • Thank you so much for these great videos! I wanted to let you know that I followed all your instructions here for making a bug, as well as your video on making ginger ale and your 'easy soda' and they all turned out great! the only change I made was substituting Raw honey for sugar - it worked beautifully!
  • @Mrjnascar11
    Iā€™m very intrigued. Looks pretty straightforward. Iā€™m totally in-love with Ginger!
  • @pananetta9911
    you guys have the most amazing energy!! much love and health!
  • @AJazzyLadyPlays
    You guys are wonderful! You take the time to answer every question! It happened again! This time I tried to make a ginger bug and it got slimy! I made a video of it, but I don't know how to get it in here to show you.
  • @Enzo-fc5lw
    I just started my first ginger bug today! I used honey instead of sugar, so we'll see how it goes. I can't wait! Thanks for your great videos!
  • Most clear and simple explaination ever. Thank you! I'm going to start my ginger bug. šŸ¾
