On my various kitchen counters, thanks to recently finding Donna’s podcasts: sourdough starter, kefir and second ferment kefir, her soda fermenting, yummy cucumber kimchi, tomato ferment, l reuteri and l gasseri, and what else? I think that’s it. 😜
As someone predisposed to forming calcium carbonate kidney stones, and someone trying to get the most benefit from kefir soda, I am going to go this route with your kefir soda culture that I ordered and received. Many thanks for this helpful info.
If I was to add coconut water to kefir whey - would that work? I'd be missing the Boulardii without the starter, but looking to use up some whey left over from kefir cheese, and the starter culture is out of my budget right now. Currently this is raw milk kefir, but switching to coconut kefir in the next week... I love the detail in your podcasts - have learned so much, so thank you!
If the starter is not an option right now, which I understand as a recently restarted fermenter and doing EVERYthing at once, I’ve seen you can use the kefir whey to make soda. Some day maybe you’ll be able to get the starter culture, or to split the package of four sachets with someone in your area.
Hi Donna, I have a grandson (3 years old) who has multiple allergies but will not eat yogurt or drink kefir. I'm thinking that he might like kefir soda if it tastes good. How do you add flavor to the coconut water kefir soda? Pretty sure he won't drink it straight up without some yummy flavors added.
I'm going to forget to burp the bottle for sure. A bottle explosion sounds horrible. Is there a lid that will release gasses as they build up? Maybe a loose screw on cap?
Put some in a plastic soda bottle. It can help to know when it is ready as the bottle gets hard when the gases build. This will Guage if your jars are ready for burping, hence avoiding explosions.
Today, I said, my chicken two kefir grains after I couldn’t get her to drink the Kiefer thinking this might help her. She’s acting weak and silly. I will keep you posted now that I have those greens inside of her. I’m thinking she’s going to do well. We’ll see?

How long dies your soda stay viable to create more? Is it an every day chore?
Can you use regular young coconut to make it? Where I live we they are so hard to find.

@@Saladmama57 Thank you for confirming that - so many little bits on the go and it's good to check!

Donna mentions squeezing some fruit into it(lime is her example)
Just add some fruit juice to it.

It gets fizzy because the gas is kept in, if the gas is allowed to escape it won't get fizzy,
