Actually I'm wondering if it might be that raisins or ginger already
have yeasts on their surface that might speed things up. After all, the
yeast is really attracted to sugar, so sugar alone should do the trick
but if there are yeasts present on the raisins or ginger or other fruit,
that's what would speed it up. Could it be something like that?

I think its like using raisins when you make a wine with no added
yeast-- the wild yeast is attracted to the raisins or in this case,
ginger.

Why the ginger with the yeast starter?
