Ginger bug no longer bubbling, normal? (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been feeding my ginger bug for four days now, and the first two days it was bubbling nicely, then slowed down.

Is this normal? Does it mean its ready to make ginger beer with?

Update: if anyone stumbles across this, I just kept stirring it and fed it like normal, and today its bubbling a lot! So seems to be okay.

Put your ear to the jar. Is it hissing? Then it is alive and ready. If no sound and no bubbles but it still smells good, keep feeding it until it starts bubbling again. If it's a new starter, usually better to feed it for a week at least do it gets stable.
