Oh, right. The other kefir.

Water kefir.  It has been sitting a bit long.  I was worried I might have killed it.  Not so.  Two half gallon jugs had to be rotated.  Further, this time I put the flat but non-sweet soda, after adding some sugar to feed the smaller bacteria and yeasts something to eat to create fizz, into flip-top sealed bottles.  After accounting for grains, I got three bottles per half gallon.  The grains seem to be doing well.

Two days, then they need to be chilled so the don't pop as champagne, even to destroying the bottle.  Uhrm, again, if it works.  It may simply not be warm enough.  I added vanilla extract and ginger.  The last attempts at this produced no fizz, if the jars weren't airtight.  Quite a bit more work than it seems, or at least it sure eats the time.

I have cleaned up from that.  It is bedtime.  The bathroom and shower just have to wait. This was overdue a bit.  Gotta keep the cultures alive.  Good night.
