Very nice post man, exemplary, i miss this kind of quality in my feed lately.

On this topic and with your knowledge, would you consider a simple straight (commercial) soda a bad thing?

Thanks for the kind words. 
And yes, for certain! We do not need all that sugar you find in straight commercial soda, not to mention the other chemical ingredients. But then there is the whole aspect of industrial manufacturing, transporting all the stuff around the world, hahaha and of course building all the bottling facilities that go with it. Putting all that together, I can't even stress how bad I think industrial soft drinks are!

ok, now i see, soda is not what i thought it was.  what i apparently meant is just plain carbonated water (which doesn't contain sugar apparently)
Transporting and bottling arguments are probably the leftover arguments then..

Wow, well done and informative! This belongs on the #stemgeeks trending page. Germany, as you already know, love soda. I never touched the stuff in the states and here sometimes it’s the only thing offered and I have drank more then I ever wanted. Thanks for this post I will stop again! Wish I had time to make something like this.

It seems to be fairly universal... The nice thing about Germany (although this may be only true about Bavaria) is that they don't charge taxes on beer or wine, being cultural drinks and all. As a result, they are always cheaper than soda, or even mineral water! And since the age limit is 16 (or at least it was when I was 16), I don't remember drinking any soda-pop anywhere. ;-)

I used to do water kefir but could not keep up with it. 24-48 hrs is way too fast for me when I’m already doing Kombucha and Milk Kefir. 

I found that it’s safer for the grains to add the fruits in a secondary fermentation keeping the first fermentation with just water and sugar.

Okay, so do you suppose that it could be the fruit that may have something on it that kills the culture? That would make sense. I usually used the secondary fermentation primarily to get it nice and bubbly, meaning I bottled it and let it sit for a few days.

The same goes for Kombucha. The second ferment is for making it fizzy but also for adding flavour. I found that adding fruits to the water kefir during first fermentation also stains the grain. Some stuff such as ginger might definitely kill or weaken the culture. I only wanted to expose the grains to what they live/feed on which is water and sugar. And it makes it easier to filter the grain out too.

Amazing. This is an awesome post!! 

> ginger bees, eternity grains

I didn't know those alternative names, but they are very cute. When I tried doing it, I really liked it, but I couldn't keep up - I ended up with too much of it that I couldn't drink. 

Such a good alternative to store bought, and cheaper - let alone the fact that it doesn't kill you. Coke has a lot to answer for in this regard I believe.

Wonderful post and very timely for me! I bought some dehydrated water kefir that I was going to try to get going and your recipe and this post gave me the inspiration to get to it. Can't wait to try the ginger variation!

Awesome! I can't help feel honored to inspire you. Looking forward to hear how it worked out. A long time ago I tried some dehydrated kefir myself, though it was the milk kefir type. It worked beautifully for the first ten times or so... and then it wouldn't. I hope that won't be the case for you.

you've been visited by @agiftoflove on behalf of Natural Medicine!

**Absolutely amazing post filled to the brim with great info!  You are so right on about how each particular batch will taste different!  I thought I didn't like it until I tried some from a "seasoned" cultivator. I am excited to look for and try some of the flavors you mentioned, especially Ginger!**

I've used to make yogurt, got inspired with your post and just ordered kefir grains! 
I often buy polish (milk) kefir in shops, seems easier to make than yogurt, I will see. So a pack of water plus a pack of milk kefir grains should arrive in a week or so. Keep on brewing!

Well, for the milk kefir you don't need a yogurt maker which provides the perfect temperature, though at one point I used to make yogurt without all that. I had the yogurt frozen into ice-cubes, and I simply dropped one into a carton of milk, left it sitting for a day at regular room temperature, and it bam! It always worked... well, until winter came, and room temperature stopped being what it used to be. With kefir, however, I never had that issue. It would turn even if I left it in an apartment that remained mostly unheated until I came back in the evening.
