Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Turns out that my kefir grains did survive the tangerine juice and came back to life after about 5 days. I've got a nice ferment going now with excellent fizz. Thanks again for your help. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it just takes awhile, I guess. > After I got the first responses to my question I put some active milk kefir grains in a fresh peach mash and stuck the bottle right next to my seemingly dead orange kefir. By the next morning the peach pulp was _alive_. Took me about 10 minutes to allow enough off gassing so that my ceiling didn't end up looking like yours. The orange was just beginning to grow after 5 days and the peach was hot after less than 24 hours. The peach smells delicious, too.

So far the molasses is the fastest for me, grape and honey are the slowest. Peach sounds delish though. I guess it's good to remember that fruits have all kinds of defense mechanisms built in. Peaches go bad really fast: tangerines take awhile. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
