In this first episode of the Bush Edge Homesteading Australia Fermented Soda Series, I share with you how to start your own Ginger Bug at home.

I also share what to do if your ginger bug isn't bubbling or active. And how to kick start an inactive Ginger Bug.

Ginger bugs are used as the starter for fermented sodas. They are a lacto-ferment so help produce healthy sodas with good beneficial bacteria for your gut. Of course they do still have some sugar, so watch for that if you require a low-sugar diet.

They are delicious alternative to store bought soda. And great fun to make at home.
