Looks brilliant. Have been using to much sugar and mostly making lemon ginger flavor with the ingredients mixed in while starting a new batch of water kifer. Could this be why my grains do not seem to grow?
Hi Vickie,
I can’t say for certain why your grains are not growing but from reading, it seems like some water kefir grains just no longer mulitply.
I have noticed this issue most often when rehydrating grains that have been dried. While the grains are able to ferment the sugar water, they never seem to grow new grains again.
You may want to look into getting some more grains that are multiplying and mix those in with the ones you currently have.
Happy kefiring!
