So I have a ginger bug in the fridge. What would happen if I brewed a simple blonde ale, fermented with basic ale yeast and very low IBU. Say 5 IBU. Then racked to secondary and pitched the ginger bug. Let it sit for several months, then added fruit. ??? I.e. Ginger Cranberry Sour Blonde? Would this work out like I think it might?
 
it would bet that it will work, but it is a bet. there should be lacto in your ginger bug so that will sour, but there may also be other critters too and who knows what they might do.

i would go for it, sounds like a great idea. please let us know how it turns out!
