  • 💪 Rich in Beneficial Enzymes & Gut-Friendly Microbes

  • ♻️ Reusable Bug – Maintain and Brew Indefinitely

  • 🍹 Perfect for Homemade Sodas, Mixers, and Health Tonics


🔬 The Science Behind the Ginger Bug

Ginger beer bugs contain wild yeasts (Saccharomyces spp.) and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus spp.), which:

  • Naturally ferment sugars into carbon dioxide (for fizz) and trace alcohol

  • Produce beneficial enzymes and organic acids

  • Support digestive health and microbial diversity
    (Hutkins, 2006, Tamang et al., 2016)

Many people find fermented drinks like ginger beer helpful for easing bloating, boosting digestion, and satisfying fizzy drink cravings—naturally.


💡 Ideal For:

  • Home brewers seeking authentic, natural soft drinks

  • Fans of probiotic-rich, low-alcohol fermented beverages

  • People reducing sugar and artificial ingredients

  • Those exploring DIY fermentation and gut health


📦 What You Get:

  • 1 portion of Live Organic Ginger Beer Starter Bug

  • Simple brewing and maintenance instructions

  • Enough to make your first 1L+ batch — grow and reuse indefinitely with regular feeding


🥄 How to Use:

  1. Feed your ginger bug daily with organic ginger and sugar

  2. After 5–7 days, use it to ferment sweetened ginger tea

  3. Bottle, ferment a second time (2–4 days), then chill and enjoy

  4. Save a portion of the bug to continue brewing forever!

(Always burp bottles daily during second fermentation to avoid pressure build-up.)
