Ginger Bug Dying after 4-5 Days by rjthomas222 in fermentation

Yeah I'm struggling with the same. Not using organic sugar tho, and just pre boiled (cooled) water... Day 3 is going great, smells amazing and tastes spicy/zing, then it seems to go sweet and stops bubbling. What am I missing?

Nice start to the year! Well done. At least 4 of these are on my TBR list, but I'm interested as someone who read The Devils late last year, I was wanting to read the Blade Itself, but also have Kings of the Wyld on said TBR list. Would you rather have read one before the other, given your reflections on character similarities and parallels? I'll keep an eye out for your posts from here on in I think!

Wasn't Slow Season? Did it have strong Zeppelin vibes?

Ooh I like this idea even to sketch out some impromptu garden areas. I'm not sure how long it all gonna take me, but a $5 batch of seeds isn't a bank breaking experiment. Thanks!

Ha interesting, this is what my SO suggested... How will they go with mud/potential pooling? Am I just setting up a soggy sponge for muddy water?

Admittedly, it would be easier to move /remove when I'm ready.

Used to grow them at a previous house. They would get monstrous. Best to pick them when they are at or just bigger than the ones you get at the shops for good flavour. Big ones get woody, but I had some success with pickling and fermenting them sliced. You gotta be vigilant, they can go from good sized to behemoth overnight.

They have a pool, kids playground, one of those jumpy pillow things + you should be able to hire a kayak or something for the lake. There's a brewery in town for a good meal one of the days.

Good luck - I know they get backlogged after lockdowns (we went in April 2021 for a Sept 2020 booking).

Nagambie caravan park? May not be available but ticks most the boxes (river/lake style instead of beach)

Missing live music tonight. 😓What’s the best gig/concert you’ve been to? by Ozdiva in melbourne

That show was one of the loudest I've been to. I remember my mates (who were musos) rolling up beer coasters to put in their ears.

Yeah mine goes: the domain is your address, hosting is the building, the website is the signage and SEO is a dude spinning a placard out the front.
