A Ginger Bug is a powerful living probiotic culture made from a combination of ginger, sugar, and water which is allowed to ferment over time. Ginger Bugs add a unique and authentic taste to the soda, as well as probiotic benefits that can help with digestion and overall gut health.
Today, the vast majority of sodas are made via forced-carbonation. Ginger Bug sodas are naturally carbonated via fermentation, which imparts a creamy texture to the soda and a more complex and full-bodied flavor than sodas made with other methods.
Our Ginger Bug Starter Kit & Soda Spices make it fun & easy for anyone to brew their own soda using the traditional Ginger Bug method!

A fiver all around! It arrived quickly, love the variety of delicious recipes, and I saw bubbles after just one feeding. Who knew that sodas could be both healthy and delicious?! Total game changer!

Clear and detailed instructions make it very easy to get the “bug” started. The finished product was so tasty, it all disappeared very quickly! Looking forward to trying more flavors!

Very easy to get started! This new way of homebrewing drinks has created an addict. I’ll be planting ginger in my garden next month, just to keep this starter alive indefinitely!

The ginger bug starter worked perfectly! Having made one from scratch once before, I really appreciated how much easier this was. Once going, it’s worked just as described. I’m very happy with it. I have also appreciated the recipe cards and soda mix packs, which have given me enough guidance that I can now improvise my own soda recipes.

Easy to follow directions, started making soda within 2 weeks, although I’m now the #1 buyer of organic ginger at the grocery store. Ginger bug still going strong after 2-3 months. I love the flexibility to create my own recipes for ginger beer. Recently made a blackberry jalapeno ginger beer and a strawberry watermelon ginger beer waiting to be bottled. Would recommend!

I was super nervous and hesitant when I got this, knowing that I would have to feed it everyday and keep it alive, ontop of all the other daily life tasks and 3 kids under 5 years old but its 100% do-able! Its so much easier than anticipated and by day 4 we could see and hear the bubbles! Which was super exciting and encouraging as I’ve never done something quite like this before! This has made me want to venture out to do more! And I LOVE the smell of the fermenting ginger 🧡 overall all really low maintenance that only takes away 3 minutes or less of ones time.

My son received the Ginger Bug Kit as a gift so he could make soda. The instructions are easy to follow and his bug has thrived and he has now gifted two other people baby ginger bugs from his. We have used it to make root beer and strawberry soda.

I’ve a few minor hiccups while rehydrating my bug, and Diane has been AMAZING with answering questions and concerns. I would recommend Sandpoint Soda just because of her help!
