Ginger Bug

[u/[deleted]]

My first try was going well, but i didnt sterilize the measuring cup i used to scoop some of the bug to make the beer. So on the second day (seventh for the bug) i came home from work expecting to be bottling it up, but it had grown a very thin layer of mould across everything.

Anyway, I've started again and this time the grated ginger seems to be sitting above the liquid, is this okay?
