Water kefir flavor :)........?

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

Ummmm. Is water kefir supposed to taste like wine or am I just having

too much fun? I have made some that came out sweet, but here lately,

it is very wine like (and enjoyable ).

Oh yes. It is making alcohol now. That's because they are growing and could use a doubled recipe by now.MarilynOn 10/2/06, threejsmom31 <

I divided them into 2 jelly jars (smuckers large size) and they are

both making a similar ferment out of different juices. I finally let

them run 2 days... I was overfilling the jars at first but if i fill

3/4th, I can let it ferment without expansion trouble. Will it hurt

the grains to let them ferment like this or do I need to trim them

down and encourage a sweeter product? Thank you for all the help and

I hope you are well,

You can always tell if the water grains like the way you are treating them by their growth rate and size. I start to worry if they start getting too small.MarilynOn 10/2/06, threejsmom31 <threejsmom31@...> wrote:
