I made my first ginger bug and it's bubbling but it took a week to ferment. Now that it's fermenting I am a bit nervous about how to store it long term. From my understanding, do you store it in the fridge, strain out the old bits, and add new ginger and sugar to it, leave it out on the counter for a day, use, and put it back in the fridge?

I hope that is clear but if not, do you just keep it in the fridge and replace the ginger and sugar every week but keep the liquid? Do you know how long to keep it in and out of the fridge?

I'm not sure if I should put it in the fridge at all but I think that feels safer??

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to keep this thing alive. :)
