Waterkefir is a fermented drink, full of probiotics and other healthy ingredients. Kefir is made by having special reusable living cultures, called kefir granules, fermented in water and sugar solution for approximately 48 hours. Kefir helps to strengthen your immune system, improve your digestion, helps your cholesterol regulate, and has other numerous beneficial effects How do you make water kefir? Step 1 Put the waterkefir granules in the pot and fill them with fresh, non-checked and non-filtered water. Add sugar and dried fruit (optional). Step 2 Open the upper lid of the pot somewhat to allow the air flow that is required for the fermentation. Leave it at room temperature for about 1-2 days. Step 3 when the process of primary fermentation is ready (after about 1-2 days). Remove the upper lid and sieve the kefir in a glass jar/bottle. The grains remain in the Kefirko pot. Step 4 After the kefir has been sifted, you can add some fruit juice or squeeze fresh citrus juice in the Waterkefir. You can close the bottles and leave it in the fridge for another day for the second fermentation. How to activate waterkefir granules 30 g of sugar in 300 ml of water and add kefir granules + a pinch of baking soda. Let for 2 days ferment. Sieve and throw away the water. Repeat step 1-3 a few times until your activity notices. Sieve and use the grains for Waterkefir. When you try to activate kefir granules, it is important to stimulate their growth. Therefore, add some unrefined brown sugar during these first steps. You can use 25 g of white and 5 g of brown sugar during activation. It is important to use at least a part of sugar that is rich in minerals during the activation process of the granules. Later you may have to reduce the amount of minerals by using white sugar, especially if your grains become mushy. That points to overminerization when and how should I add more minerals to my waterkefir? Kefir granules need minerals to thrive. Sometimes there are enough minerals in the water you use, other times it is necessary to add them. When you have to add minerals: during the activation of the kefir granules, when the grains do not grow, if the kefir does not ferment within 48 hours. Which minerals can I add? Baking soda - less than a teaspoon. Melasse - less than a teaspoon. Unrefined sugar - to replace part of the white sugar. Mineral drops - a few drops per liter. Make waterkefir with organic waterkefir granules: no bubbles, what should I do? First you have to figure out why Kefir does not have bubbles, then you will see if you can do something to increase the amount of bubbles in your drink. Why are there no bells in my kefir? Maybe your grains are not active yet. Sometimes, especially if we have just started preparing Kefir, the grains need some time to become fully active. This is done by regularly feeding the grains with the correct ratio of sugar: water. Too much water for the amount of waterkefir granules. It is best to use around 30 g kefir granules for 300 ml of water and sugar solution. Low ambient temperature, too short fermentation time. These are both reasons that your kefir does not produce enough bells. In the winter it can take up to 4 days to ferment Waterkefir. How can I increase the bubble formation in my waterkefir? If you have considered all the reasons why you are not buzzing kefir, there are some other things you can do: feed your grains regularly. A good routine makes granules more active. This also means that they produce more bells. Close the lid. This prevents air flow, so that no gas can come out during fermentation. Look after For flasis explosion if you yeast for more than 48 hours. Longer fermentation. If you like a more sour, less sweet taste of kefir, you can let it ferment for longer. This will also promote the formation of bells. Second fermentation. This is the part of the process where you can still increase the bubble formation. Usually by adding fresh juices and/or fruit to the sifted kefir. Keep the lid closed during the second fermentation.   Product specifications Starter Waterkefir Korrels - 5gr. Article description Starter Waterkefir Korrels - 5gr. Article number 3830063020403 Land of origin Bulgaria German-Kefir-user-manual.pdf Fermentation is a process that takes place when you leave kefir granules in water or milk. Fermentation is a metabolic process in which living cultures consume sugar and produce organic acids, gases and alcohol. Traditionally we use fermentation to produce wine and beer, to preserve food (pickled vegetables, kimchi) and for lacto-fermentation (kefir, yogurt). Living cultures are essential We need living cultures for fermentation - kefir granules are a combination of yeasts and bacteria. Lactobacilli, for example, are the bacteria that convert lactose into milk (milk sugars) into lactic acid in yogurt and kefir, giving it its sour taste.
