If you are traveling and cannot feed your Ginger Bug everyday, you can store your Ginger Bug in the refrigerator and feed it once per week instead of every day.
Here's how to store your Ginger Bug in the refrigerator:
Step 1: Feed your Ginger Bug.
Step 2: Pour your Ginger Bug into a glass container with an airtight lid.
Step 3: Place your Ginger Bug in your refrigerator in a spot that does not get too cold. For example, avoid the very back of the refrigerator or other locations that may drop below freezing.
Step 4: Feed your Ginger Bug once per week.
To use your Ginger Bug after refrigeration, remove it from the fridge and place it back at room temperature. Remove the airtight lid and replace it with your muslin cloth. Feed your Ginger Bug ginger, sugar, and water for a few days until bubbles return before making soda.
