Nah, I left it out. I'm degasing three times a day today as I wouldn't like the bottles to go pop :) I also got myself a plastic container and keep the bottles in it to contain eruptions if any happen. The thing is very active and gradually getting less and less sweet (I'm degasing and testing). I used plastic bottles from juice as they appear to be good size, but the juice was still so there is some risk involved with them. I simply didn't want to get glass bottles or to buy normal sodas just to have the bottles. They have been doing well so far.
I am also wondering how alcoholic the final result is. Wouldn't like to serve alcohol to kids, but I don't have a meter for that.
The ginger bug works absolutely fine. Yoy can always add turmeric powder when making your soda mix if you want the flavor.

Should be fine. Thanks for the tip of putting it in plastic containers for safety. Great idea. Have a lovely day.
It's more active then I thought it would be:
