From Ginger Bug to Gut Health: the Art of Homemade Probiotic Sodas

Utkarsh Dubey

My presentation is about wild fermentation with a focus on the ginger bug. I’ll be covering how to make and maintain a ginger bug, its feeding schedule, the best ways to store it, and how to use it for creating probiotic sodas at home. Instead of buying sodas from outside, we can easily brew our own with the added benefit of good bacteria. I’ll also be demonstrating a Chamomile Tea Tonic as an example of a refreshing homemade probiotic drink.

Utkarsh Dubey
💖 Favorite Ferments: Sourdough starter – my daily baking buddy, jar of seasonal lacto-fermented veggies (usually carrots or cucumbers), wild soda culture (ginger bug or turmeric bug) for fizzy drinks.
💡 Fermentation Tip: Always taste as you go. Fermentation is alive—your ferment might be ready in 2 days or 2 weeks depending on the season, ingredients, and your environment. Trust your senses more than the calendar.
🏝️ Desert Island Tools: Sturdy fermentation jar with an airlock (or at least a lid), sharp knife for prep, wooden spoon for mixing and stirring.
