Questions
Good to know
I've never fermented anything. Can I really do this?
Yes. Our kits are made for first timers. Each one comes with a ginger bug culture, easy picture instructions, and our Soda School email class. If you can stir a jar once a day, you can make your own soda.
How long does it take to make a batch?
Your kit comes with a dehydrated ginger bug culture. First you wake it up, which takes about 5 to 7 days. Once your ginger bug is awake, a batch of soda takes less than 48 hours from start to finish.
Can I choose my own flavors?
Yes. You pick your flavors when you check out. Mix and match, or load up on a favorite. Your ginger bug works with all of them.
Is homemade ginger bug soda alcoholic?
No. Like kombucha, the natural fermentation makes only a tiny trace of alcohol, usually well under 0.5%. The result is a fizzy, probiotic soda the whole family can enjoy.
When will my order ship?
Orders ship from Sandpoint, Idaho within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping is free on orders over $40.
What if something isn't right?
We stand behind every order. If anything arrives damaged, just reach out and we will make it right.
