🌟Water Kefir Tip of the Week🌟
We recommend doing a second ferment even if you are unsure if fermentation worked during the first ferment, as it likely did! Often, the first ferment will be quite sweet, have little fermented taste and only a few slight bubbles.
For the second ferment, ensure you are using a swivel top bottle that seals tightly.
Keep in mind that the amount of fizz depends on sugar content, second ferments with less sugar will naturally be less bubbly. If you want a fizzy drink use a high sugar juice like pineapple or mango. 🫧

Water Kefir Tip of the Week: Where’d the fizz go? 🫧
Did your second ferment go from great, consistent fizz… to just a few bubbles?
Cold winter temps are often the culprit.
For bubbly water kefir, keep your ferments consistently around 68°F to 73°F (20°C to 25°C).
Tips on how to keep your ferments warm can be found on our website.

Water kefir has the potential to help anyone with gut problems caused by imbalance and the stresses of modern life. I believe it should be available and accessible to everyone. At Happy Gut, we are on a mission to make this happen.
Several years ago, my sister-in-law Ursula shared some water kefir grains with me. I was intrigued that she and her medical co-workers were making and drinking water kefir to boost their immunity. As a teacher, I thought that if this could work amongst hospital staff, it could also work in schools. With great enthusiasm I decided I needed to brew this for myself, my family and friends.
But, it just wasn’t that easy. I struggled to find all the right water kefir brewing supplies in my local region then started my first batch, but I had no idea what I was doing and I was overwhelmed. I didn’t want to be fermenting something harmful, so I did some research and found a lot of mixed information.
Through trial and error, I got better at making water kefir. My kefir grains multiplied profusely—it seemed I had struck the perfect combination of fresh, mineral rich water and mixed organic sugars to achieve an explosion of beautiful, plump, water kefir grains. I believed there were other people like me who wanted to make water kefir and would appreciate a simpler way to start.
At the same time, people started telling me that I was looking great and I didn’t get sick at all that year, yet the only thing that I had changed in my life was drinking water kefir on a daily basis. There had to be something about this drink that was boosting my immunity and improving the health of my gut.
Since those first days, I’ve learned a lot about water kefir and its benefits and know that this drink has changed my life and it has the potential to change yours, too. A Home Brewing Supply Company providing the finest supplies to handcraft probiotic rich Water Kefir.
