I'm interested in this too, but not too fond of using google for recipes, I'd rather have tried and true ones.Which is why I use this forum!

I had a recipe years ago that used a bug,from memory start the bug in a large agee preserving jar with:
2 tsp dried yeast 2 tsp ginger 2 tsp sugar top up with tepid water cover with muslin cloth and alternate 1 tsp sugar or 1 tsp ginger each day for a week.You can tell that the yeast has activated by little bubbles rising to the top.After 7 days split the bug in 1/2, reserving one half for the bug and the other 1/2 to make your brew.This is where my memory fades unfortunately, as I can't remember the quantities to make up the brew.I do know that it made 1 doz old style beer bottles.And I also remember that you need to squeeze a lot of lemons!I hope this is helpful.
1. Put in container (not metal) 1/2 cup sugar 1 dessertspoon ground ginger juice of 1 lemon 480 ml water Stand 3 days 2. Pour off half water and feed for 10 days 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 teaspoon sugar 3. BEER Dissolve 4 cups sugar in 3 cups boiling water 4. Strain bug through cloth (I used 2 thicknesses of muslin) and squeeze well. 5. Add juice from plant to sugar mixture. 6. Add juice 2 lemons, 25 cups cold water and bottle 7. RENEW PLANT Keep 1/2 plant left in the cloth (give the other half to a friend) Put it back into the jar and add 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons ginger 8. Feed with 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ginger for 1 week
