Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi everyone, I have been using wkg's to brew a probiotic drink--at least I hope it's probiotic. I've been adding raisins, dates, lemon, ginger and most recently rapadura sugar to water and fermenting about 48 hours, pouring most of the liquid into another jar (reserving about 1 cup as starter) and refilling my original brewing jar with same ingredients named above, not rinsing the grains off at all. I am beginning to get a slimey sort of yeast on the bottom, but otherwise I don't notice anything off. Two questions: should I be rinsing the wkg's? and should I be swirling the jar as we do with milk kefir grains? Many thanks, Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Vona, WKGs = Water Kefir Grains = Sugary Kefir Grains = SKG [the same grains but with many names]. The specific variety of kefir grains are used to prepare a traditional water kefir, from sugar/water, lemon and a dry fruit of personal choice.
