water kefir cabinet? covers?

[Guest guest]

Anyone keep their water kefir in a cabinet? We were having too many knats

problems and the smell wasn't exactly desirable in small living quarters. I

moved it to a cabinet, and the gnats have started clearing up and the smell is

less offensive. I don't think the grains are as happy now...don't seem to be

multiplying like they were. Any ideas?

Also, any ideas on covers? I tried a hankerchief but without a washer, washing

things is always a chore and expense. My favorite is the paper towel, but I

think that is not supposed to be good for it?
