"I was useing purified water and putting a mineral supplement in.I now switched to fresh spring water.Was useing sucanat ,now raw sugar.I let it brew 48 hrs at 68-70 degrees.Never added molassas.I do add egg shells though."
"What type of water and sugar are you using? Do you add any unsulphured molasses? How long do you let it brew? How cool/warm is your house?
Pat, loves a kefir puzzle. :-)"
"I had the same ??? Mine have never grown but it is VERY bubbly.It almost tastes wisky like when its done?"
"Are they bubbling? Smell sour/tart/slightly vinegary? With the cooler weather, consider leaving them to brew longer, like 72 hours.
