    I love my milk kefir but wanted another alternative to use in smoothies that is not as tart as milk kefir. I personally love it, but my kids are still not willing to drink it. Will get there.

    So far I've only made one batch. It's going very well. I'll have to see if I can find a way to get the grains to multiply like milk kafir.

    I was really nervous, I've not made either Water Kefir or Milk Kefir before, although I have purchased Milk Kefir. I was HOPING it would turn out successfully and that my three grandchildren would enjoy the 'sodas'. Their mother is very health conscious but even she had not been exposed to Water Kefir. It was AMAZING!! Despite nerves and fears, my first soda (Pomegranate) turned out spectacularly and all three grandkids AND my daughter (her husband is going to be a harder sell) absolutely loved the soda and we are all impatiently waiting for the next batch. I have to get the rhythm so the batches overlap enough to always have some. Thank you SO much, the product is outstanding and we are all ecstatic about starting on milk Kefir once I get this system down a little better!!

    The dried grains re-hydrated easily and produce a nice beverage. They didn't really start bubbling until the third batch but the first two were still good, though wouldn't carbonate. The taste is vaguely coconut but not enough to put of someone (me) who doesn't like coconut. I would definitely recommend water kefir to anyone.

  • From Sekka at 5/10/2014 8:29 PM
    • I continue to observe the same reference of 3-4 tablespoons of W(ater) K(efir) grains for every 1-2 quarts. If I can use 3 tablespoons of WK grains for 2 quarts, does that mean I can use as little as 1.5 tablespoons of WK grains for 1 quart?
    • The grains work best in a community of at least 3-4 Tablespoons. That would be the minimum. 1 1/2 Tablespoons may not be enough to support a healthy brew, even though it appears mathematically the ratio would work.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Kelly at 4/27/2014 7:29 AM
    • After the fermentation process, is it okay to store my water kefir (without the grains) in a plastic container?
    • Finished water kefir may be stored in a food-grade plastic container.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No

    • When making coconut water kefir, do you have to heat the coconut water up while making the kefir water?
    • There is no need to heat your coconut water.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Bee at 2/6/2014 8:04 PM
    • How do I make water kefir with coconut water? How much coconut water is needed and how many grains?

      How long to ferment, and how long will it last in the fridge when done?
    • Follow this recipe to make coconut water kefir:

      http://www.culturesforhealth.com/coconut-water-kefir-recipe/

      Finished water kefir lasts in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. The kefir will continue to ferment slowly, and the flavor will continue to develop and get stronger over time.

      Remember you will need to culture your water kefir grains in sugar water every other batch of coconut water, in order to keep the grains healthy!

  • From Kim at 1/11/2014 11:01 AM
    • After you rehydrate the grains, what do you do with the liquid that was used to rehydrate? Is it drinkable or should it be disposed of or what?
    • The liquid (sugar water) from the activation batch should be discarded as it is not cultured.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From C at 1/8/2014 7:45 PM
    • How long will the grains last if I don't rehydrate them right away after purchase?

      In the freezer (0° to 25°F): not recommended

    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Daniela at 11/13/2013 2:05 PM
    • Can I use milk kefir grains to make water kefir and eventually try with coconut water if I make sure to rehydrate in milk? Would it be just as beneficial as a probiotic as if I was using the milk kefir grains for this?
    • Milk kefir grains can be converted to water kefir once they have been rehydrated in milk. We cannot comment on the probiotic content of them in sugar water because we do not have that information. There would be some probiotics if the grains turned the water to kefir (that would be your best indicator).

      Even if you do convert the milk kefir grains to water kefir grains, you will need to still feed it sugar water in alternate batches of coconut water.
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Andrea at 10/30/2013 10:44 AM
    • Is there any way to convert a culture to coconut milk? We cannot have even traces of dairy milk and I would very much like to culture coconut milk. I just read that it cannot be done with water kefir grains. Could it be done with a kombucha scoby or some other beneficial culture?
    • Finished water kefir can be used to culture coconut milk. Please see the "dairy-free option" for making Coconut Milk Kefir on this page: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/coconut-milk-kefir-recipe
