I’ve been interested in making a ginger bug. Seems easy enough and can carbonate soda. Went to buy some this weekend and it was $4/lb. That seems like a lot! For reference, I usually buy fruits for the family or fermentation when they’re $1/lb and never go above $2/lb.
I plan on growing my own, prelim researching says it’s easy enough, but until then, where do you get yours and how much is it?
