How I started making water kefir | Naturally carbonated soda 

What are you spraying in your bottles? People have asked for your bottle solution spray and you avoid those.

You store it in the a cool dark place

You just put the grains into a jar with water and 1 or 2 spoons of sugar and put into the fridge

I have used molasses and brown sugars and other than the flavor I dont think it has a noticeable impact, I like to use white sugar because it has a neutral flavor compared to molasses.

He feeds white sugar

Is white sugar safe to consume?? Its not safe ​@@travisbrewer9049

Drinking kefir water can help maintain your blood sugar (glucose) levels. Avoiding high and low glucose levels is essential for patients with diabetes - it helps prevent cardiovascular, vision, and kidney problems. Bacteria strains in kefir may help muscle cells increase glucose absorption.18 Nov 2022

The kefir culture consume about the 80 percent of the initial sugar and also the sugar in the kefir is fructuose kind, with is metabolized in liver, and for those reasons don't raise the blood sugar levels, the same reason because fruits aren't forbide to diabetic pp.

Milk will ferment on its own at room temperature. You can also buy some store bought kefir or yogurt and add it to milk and it's done let it ferment. As you drink it you add fresh milk and the bacteria eat up the lactose. Think of it like you are farming these bacteria. They need food too. The lactose sugars

Milk kefir grains are different. This is water kefir. Can buy both tipe

I'm pretty sure they are the same.

​@akbananachucker2441 - Not even Close.. I make Both types of Kefir, Water/ Milk.. if You research where they Both Originate from you'll Understand and Know.. WK Grains came off a type of Cactus in the SW- USA, MK Grains Origins are from the Northern Caucasus Mountains of Russia where they evolved into being over a very long time of fermenting milk...

Checked out the song, pretty good.

Lots of sugar and about a month's time to ferment

If kefir has a similar makeup to a SCOBY with kombucha, then your alcohol caps pretty low because the alcohol is a byproduct of the yeast, but many of the bacteria in the solution consume alcohol and break it into different acids, which gives kombucha (and presumably kefir) a low pH. High alcohol kombucha requires you to ferment the drink a second time without the Scoby, and with wine or champagne yeast added.

why?

Just try and stop me

​@@mfmr200 because it reacts with the metal I think and oxidizes it

its not a matter.. its just a myth... read at google

​@@thl205 ok tough guy

I’m guessing it’s a way to differentiate between this and milk kefir since the two typically use different types of grains, use different mediums and taste very different

That’s a bit nit picky 🤨it would have to be far less than coke ,mountain dew or any of that crap and it doesn’t have all the chemicals etc in it.

@@shortbean1886 I think you don't even know how much sugar there is in a coke can. The chemicals are for the Light coke.

@@youtuber-452 I know all about it and I know about Diet Coke as I was addicted to it and it has taken me a long time to get rid of it because if I didn’t have some within 12hrs I couldn’t function and a headache I couldn’t get rid of so I had to slowly reduce the amount I had and I have been cooking food from scratch for a long time and make fermented foods and am learning to make yogurt and cheese from home I also have a garden with as much food and medicinal plants as I can grow and make Oregano oil etc I even make my own hair spray. My point was a little treat every now and than is ok

Well nice to hear that, I'm trying to use less sugar in my kefir so that it almost eats the entire amount of sugar. Probably around 25 grams (6 table spoons for you) and a 3 days ferment. Good luck 🤞 with your health.

​@@shortbean1886coke tastes nice though

Why did you say ‘literally’? Are there any rules at all for using this word anymore?

Which part, if I may ask? It's essentially a naturally carbonated soda water. Cool, sure, but I wouldn't say it's nuts or anything. A lot of asain cultures use fermentation and pickling, but that's something completely different, as a way for preparing food and drinks. It can take flavors to a whole new level, on top of things like carbonating beverages.
