1st Batch...

of Water Kefir decanted today. Not bad, a bit like diluted Amakaze; slightly sweet and a bit yeasty. It's supposed to improve as the dehydrated colonies reconstitute and adapt to your local water.
I'm trying a 2ndary Fermentation with 50/50 fruit juice and WK and refrigerate tonight.
It's not as "healthy" as Milk Kefir(fewer kinds of probiotic bacteria) but a hellovalot easier to make, culture and with only one person interested, consume.
Cheers,
Pat

Not a problem;>! I "did" Kombucha back in the 90's and have made Milk Kefir as well as yogurt at home before so these "probiotic" foods aren't new in general but this one is totally. The idea of something good for you that all you have to do is mix a bit of Sugar and a qt of water and let sit for 48 hrs without all the sterilizing of containers and materials OR having so much that you can never personally imbibe it all is kind of nice;>
