On day 5 of my culture I forgot to feed and stir. The morning of day six I went to feed and stir and found white mold growing. I don't think that is good, but I wanted to ask before I threw it out.

Thank you

A trick from homebrewing beer - If you want de-chlorinated water and don't have a filter system (and don't want to buy bottled water) just boil a pot of water on the stove and let it sit until "cool enough". The boil will drive off the chlorine.

You can also leave a pot of water sitting out in a wide mouthed container overnight and most of the chlorine will evaporate out.

@24158009698000 That's what mine smells like... A fermented smell! That's Good.

@TRAVIS2012HUNTER Yes, mine worked swimmingly, I even used a potato!

@TRAVIS2012HUNTER You may have a problem with chorine in your water or antibacterial residue (from soap) on your jar. You can try using bottled water if you haven't (don't use distilled water though... the bacteria and yeast need some minerals). Have some patience if the schedule in the video is not met. This is a living process and can be unpredictable. You might add a tablespoon or so of whey (from yogurt) to help things along. Lastly, any fermentation will generate a small amount of alcohol.

Ok I'm starting to wonder whether this is fake, despite believing it initially.

As soon as I first saw this video I went off and got the ingredients needed. I used bottled water, fresh ginger root from the supermarket and castor sugar. I have followed this recipe TWICE now and both times I followed it TO THE LETTER yet no fermentation. First time in a dark place, second on the counter-top. I googled it and all the others say to use yeast etc but I don't want alcohol. Why doesn't this work??????

I used honey to make some ginger beer. HerbMentor says it takes longer, and recommends not using it, but it worked for me. I opened the bottles after 2 weeks and it had great effervescence and taste.

You say you can feed the left over culture and keep it alive indefinitely after taking out the cup needed to make the soda. Can you tell me the steps needed to feed the starter to keep it alive and well?

Thank you

or break the dissacharide bond by boiling the sugar in a small amount of water.

HerbMentor:

any plans on the root beer video you mention might be made?

[bowow0807]

if you can get pure fructose syrup it would be better because fructose is a simpler sugar than sucrose and thus much easier to start a culture then move on to table sugar after the culture is started

i think im doing something wrong. this is the 3rd time i start a culture and it doesnt seem to to work after a week. possible questions. do i wash the ginger before use? where to store the ginger root? how to sanitize or wash the bottles for fermentation. i usually see bubble after day 2 but then they dissapear and the ginger sinks to the bottom and the solution is very cloudy.

[fgortalu]

everything was good until day 7 when my regular fizzy culture didnt have any bubbles. i fed it with ginger and sugar for the past week and also added a little of water on day 6, and suddenly nothing. could it be the temp? it was a little cold last night. the mixture is cloudy but i doubt it should be transparent. please give your input. i will wait and feed another couple of days just to make sure
