Preparing Water Kefir to make Soda (VIDEO) Buy Water Kefir Grain NZ.



Very quick video on feeding Kefir Grain, preparing the Water kefir liquid for making Soda. At the bottling stage add the organic fruit juice of your choice for flavour or go with the kefir flavour on it's own. Just add a fruit juice to the collected Kefir water from your current brews. Collect your grain, strain it and start a new brew. http://water-kefir-new-zealand.blogspot.co.nz/

Kefir First Ferment Day One and Two. Fermentation NZ. Water Kefir Blog N...


Water Kefir Grain in New Zealand. Here is a quick video showing the Kefir grain in action. Notice the natural bubbles forming on the fruit and lifting from the Kefir grains / Kefir crystals. The Kefir water is at this stage perfectly fine to drink, it has a fruity, fresh, lightly effervescent and mild flavour. Most of the sugars have been used up by the Kefir grain at this stage. If you do a second fermentation there will be even less sugar in the probiotic drink. Video on preparing for a second fermentation will be added soon.
