Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Just a note, I'm on day 7 of feeding my ginger bug and just realised I added too much yeast as the recipe states 2 different quantities in ingredients & method - ingredients says TSP, method says tbsp. You might want to amend...I'm not too bothered as enjoying the process ...just hope it works ...if it's more alcoholic that's great too 😄

Hi! I'm in the process of making this. Thanks for sharing. Any other pointers I should be aware of? What sort of percentage do you think it has after 2-3 weeks? Also how long can you use the same 'starter'? Do you advise re-starting the ginger bug from scratch at some point. Thanks again for posting this.
