Water Kefir Fermentation Starter Kit

Love water kefir but kit can need improving

I love the taste of water kefir compared to kombucha and once I got the hang of the procedure it’s quite easy. Just a few suggestions for the glass bottles. I found the glass brewing jar in the starter kit quite unwieldy to use. I recommend just using a 1 L mason jar and buy the Masontops kefir lids. Also the glass swivel bottle in the starter kit is not very tight and lets the carbonation out. I got the IKEA swivel bottle and it works great. I have a lot more carbonation. The instructions could be a bit more simplified and detailed. When they say boil your water first and let it get to room temperature this takes several hours so plan accordingly and make sure it’s less than 29 degrees C. I may have killed some of my grains by putting too hot of water at one point. Otherwise I think the concept is a great way to get probiotics!

Its Good!

This is the first time I ever made water kefir, I don't have anything to compare it to. I will be reaching out to ask questions on fizz level. I find my flavoured water kefir becomes flat. The dried fruit infusions don't work well in the swivel bottle, I have been grinding the infusions down to a powder in my magic bullet. It works better that way, I do have to strain when drinking the flavoured fruit infusion. The root beer one tastes medicinal, I won't purchase again, the blueberry one tastes similar to wine cooler. I'm enjoying the apple infusion. Thanks!

Delicious!

I’m enjoying my first glass using the turmeric spice blend. Love it! The instructions were easy to follow and my first bottle turned out great! Looking forward to making many more batches. Thank you, Happy Gut team!
