Ginger Bug Culture (probiotic paste)
Ginger Bug Culture (probiotic paste)
Brew your own probiotic ginger beer at home
A ginger bug is a live probiotic culture — a wild-fermented paste of ginger, sugar, and water, teeming with the natural yeasts and bacteria that give traditional ginger beer its fiery fizz and gut-friendly goodness.
This is the real thing: a living culture that you feed, grow, and brew with — not a powder, not a kit, just a genuine probiotic starter that will last indefinitely when cared for.
What you'll receive
- Enough live ginger bug paste to start brewing litres of probiotic ginger soda straight away
- Full brewing instructions included
What you can make
- Naturally carbonated, probiotic ginger beer
- Fiery ginger wine
- Any fermented soda using the bug as a starter
About the culture
Unlike water kefir grains, the ginger bug remains as a paste rather than forming grains — it behaves similarly to water kefir but stays smooth. With each use it doubles, meaning you'll always have plenty to share with friends and family or to dehydrate for long-term storage.
It's a great project for the whole family — kids love feeding and watching it come to life just as much as drinking the results.
