Ginger bug
Does anyone know why my ginger bug has gone completely dormant like there is no carbonation at all on the top, a couple days ago it was thriving and carbonated. The only thing I've done differently is feed it sugar and ginger on separate days since I had cut up and used all the ginger I had over the last 2-3 weeks, today I put both in and shook the jar which did cause some bubbles to form but when I took off the lid it went back to how it was before. The smell from the ginger bug is also not as strong as it was before. I should also add I forgot to wash the ginger before cutting it up so if that could've affected it let me know I'm new to fermentation
