I know kefir is the perfect alternative for probiotic supplements so I guess this healthy soda alternative is even more healthier than you think

[…] I can’t remember exactly when I discovered Girl Heroes, or how, but Jenn’s blog quickly became one of my must-reads. I’ve been inspired by her awesome profiles of fit women (the “girl heroes” to which her blog title refers), motivated and moved by the tale of her RKC certification weekend, and inspired to make my own water kefir after first reading about it from Jenn.

Ooh, thank you for this. I am planning on trying some water grains soon. I’ve had milk grains before but as I don’t really like the idea of eating dairy (but yet I find myself addicted to cheese … it’s complicated) I much prefer the idea of water kefir. To think that it could taste something like creamy soda is kinda cool … as is the no-taste of the grains. I used to occasionally eat my milk kefir grains (and I ate one of my friend’s the other day) and while they’re sour I kind of enjoyed it. But tasteless is even better.

What does it taste like with dried fruit? That sounds rather cool. The whole vanilla extract thing sounds even better – wow, that’d get it really cream soda-ey!

Hmmmm…. I’m really not sure. Usually putting it the fridge stops or at least slows fermentation. Perhaps you can try putting it in the fridge a day earlier? I would try that and see what happens. Sounds like you are brewing some strong kefir! 😉

I’m having issues with the Kefir after I put it in the Fridge, even after just Overnight. I prepare the Kefir similar to you. Though I have Grains in 24h, Strain out Grains, Flavor with Juice and or Dried Fruit, Leave towel on New Jar for 24 Hrs. then Seal Jar on counter for another 2 days. So now I like the taste, I filter it and place in a new Jar and I pop it in the Fridge. So What tasted pretty good last night I take it out in the morning and it really seems like some other fermentation happened and tastes and smells more like a hard cider. The Longer it sits in the Fridge the more it seems alcoholic. One batch I’m sure I should not be driving… Although that’s Fun and all when I’m at home. I want to Bring the kefir to work and Drink it there. Not really the place to be getting a buzz.

Is there something I’m missing?

Yay!!! I’m sure it is fine with all the grains. Sometimes I use way more than a 1/4 cup and it turns out fine. I prefer the 48 hour ferment bc it is still sweet but a bit more fizzy. If I’ve learned anything I’ve learned that I don’t have to do anything “exactly” with the kefir grains. xo

I rehydrated my water kefir grains over the weekend and started my first batch of kefir last night! Can’t wait to try it. I used organic Trader Joe’s sugar, no molasses in this batch, but I’ll have to try that next time. I bought the wire lid bottles from Ikea to store the finished kefir in. My husband is actually interested in trying this and I’ll probably do a “cream soda” thing for him with vanilla extract.

I can’t decide whether to go 24 or 48 hours. The instructions that came with my grains said that 24 will yield a sweeter kefir (which makes sense).

The grains are really fat! I didn’t expect that. After I rehydrated them, they looked plumper than those in your pics. Also, I used all of them in the water kefir batch. Now that I re-read your instructions, I’m wondering if I put too many in. I’ll have to play around with that. And with trying some in a smoothie… I just noticed that you said you do that sometimes. I don’t know if anyone I know will want any (although I do plan to offer them up on FB if I have enough to do so). Do you ever end up discarding some of them?

Thanks for this idea and all the great info, Jenn!

[…] I didn’t get a chance to try – and blog about – two of my intended adventures, making water kefir (watch for this in coming weeks!) and trying out a new workout program, The Physique 57 Solution […]
