>>20621818>water kefirNot kefir. Kefir is, by definition, a drink made from fermented cow's milk.>but water kefir is a thing tooOnly among retards who don't know what kefir is. You may as well call it "water yoghurt"
>>20621818You mean fermented beverage?
>>20621847Yes, water kefir is fermented
>>20621851There is no such thing as water kefir. What's next, water yoghurt, water butter, water cheese?
>>20621851>20621851>Kefir is a type of fermented dairy product. People make it by adding bacteria and yeast cultures to milk. The cultures feed on natural sugars in the milk. This allows them to multiply, creating a fermented drink. Kefir has a tart and tangy flavor and a consistency similar to drinkable yogurt.Then where is the milk?
>>20621867fatty?
>>20621818what does it taste like? never had water kefir
>>20621828sameplain water is fine in any civilized country
>>20621818This is called 'infused water', not 'water kefir' you stupid ai.
>>20621842
>>20621867>butter>a pale yellow edible fatty substance made by churning cream and used as a spread or in cooking.then where is the peanut?
>>20621909Oh you don't want Americans to misuse your language and your culture? You must definitely be a neckbeard.
>>20621818So what is this, exactly? Kefir diluted in water or... what?
>>20621876Acidic sparkling water basically with some fruity notes if you use fruits for the sugar source. Similar profile to kombucha honestly, but I think kombucha has more bite.
>>20621818I make two fermentations. First one aerobic second one anaerobic.First 32g sugar and 32g kefir per 500ml, one or two lemon slices, and 1 dried fig.Leave ferment until the fig rises to the surface usually around 24h.Remove water kefir grains, fig and lemon and transfer liquid into bottle with a lightning-type closure.Second ferment i add fruit like banana, peach, mango whatever floats your boat in the bottle. Ferment same time as the first fermentation.Then into the fridge to stop the fermentation.>>20622525Water kefir is a mix of microbes bacteria and yeasts, that's fermented with sugar and water instead of milk.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibicos
>>20623149How fast is it? I do kombucha and it takes a solid 3 weeks sometimes to develop the flavor. I had to get more jugs to make enough.
>>20623349Depends on temp, activity of the grains, and how carbonated/fermented you wa t it. I'd say a 3-5 day ferment is fine.
>>20623349F1 is around 24h until the figs rise. The water kefir is done and could be drink as is but F2 anaerobic makes it bubbly and you can flavor it. So another 24h.I prefer kombucha's taste but it takes much more time instead of ready in two days.
>>20623450>I'd say a 3-5 day ferment is fineWhat sugar/kefir/water ratio are you using?
>>20621842>>20621847>>20621858>>20621867>>20621896>>20622525i googled it, its kefir grains in water.I thought it was stupid before, but now i realize something. are you really gonna let the towelheads that are too busy throwing rocks at cutouts of Neil Patrick Harris from leftover IEDs made out of How I Met Your Mother promotional material? we should just call it fagwater or something.so glad costco started selling kefir near me.
>>20624305>are you really gonna let the towelheads that are too busy throwing rocks at cutouts of Neil Patrick Harris from leftover IEDs made out of How I Met Your Mother promotional material?This sentence doesn't make any sense
>>20624382i forgot to finish the sentence. the idea is there, dont let the towelheads control our language, they want us to turn against each other
>>20624391>the towelheadsI think the traditional head garb of the group in question is a lot smaller than a common towel.
>>20623450>>20624257Whoa. This stuff must be fast.
>>20624305>i googled it, its kefir grains in water.>trusting go*gle search Milk kefir and water kefir grains are totally different creatures. Both are scobys, but they contain different communities of bacteria and yeast, that enjoy different "food."Milk kefir grains look like caulifower, kind of, and vary in size. Water kefir grains are transparent and small, kind of crystalline-looking guys.
>>20624495then what do you suppose we call it? faggotywater? waterfaggot? fagwater? fag2oh?we need to call it something else? lamebucha? fagbucha?

>>20628955Healthier too
>>20621818I have no idea. I leave it to some old man sitting at some cart with ice and flavor bottles, he's better at this than I am.
>>20621818A friend from South Africa told me what keffir really is, everyone should know that it's nigger.
>>20621818not sharing a recipe but water kefir is fucking based, it permanently cured the eczema of one of my mates.Health benefits from water kefir: Balancing the intestinal flora Counteracting constipation naturally It energizes the body Strengthens the body's immune system Fight cancer Positive effect on tuberculosis Positive effect on Crohn's disease Fight various forms of rheumatism Positive effect on inflammation of the respiratory tract, kidneys and bladder Regulation of blood pressure Positive effect on eczema and other skin diseases Positive effect on chronic fatigue syndrome Positive effect on ADHD Positive effect on concentration Regulation of body weight Provides general resistance Combats gallbladder and cystitis
>>20630280Any health benefits I don't get by drinking kombucha and milk kefir regularly?
>>20630280i have a friend who had Crohn's and IBS so bad he was suicidal and he cured it/made it go into remission using Kefir and a poop transplant where he got poop from a health person put up his butthttps://crohnsandcolitis.ca/About-Crohn-s-Colitis/IBD-Journey/Treatment-and-Medications/Emerging-Therapiesmore info here. make sure you are eating when you read it, preferably some food that is very sloppy and brown
>>20630280A friend of mine felt unwell and went to the doctor. Turned out she had 500x too many good gut bacteria in her stomach (caused by kefir). For the next 5 years she was on a diet of leafy greens and water.I'm all for kefir bit you got to understand what you're doing. Anecdotal evidence won't cut it either way.
>>20630816>For the next 5 years she was on a diet of leafy greens and water.why not nuke it with 10 days antibiotics and restart fresh?
launched 2.5L batch
>>20630280miracle drink ngl
>>20630998bubbles
>>20630816Food-fermenting bacteria don't colonize the gut, she could just wait a few days until she pooped them out. I don't believe this story.They can still be useful but mostly by killing or supporting other bacteria along the way

>>20624305You sir, are a gentleman & a scholar.
>>20621818>>20631693How to make bubly water kefir without the bottles exploding from the pressure?
>>20635442take a chance
>>20626253Reminds me of that fucking "ah, it appears to have done something" webm
>>20635442the bubble pic is aerobic fermentation. there is just a towel on top of the jar so no pressure buildup. when you bottle you remove the grains, still there is anaerobic fermentation and you should not let it ferment too long.then put in the fridge to cool down the co2 before opening the bottles otherwise this happens >>20626253
