Is anybody out there making water kefir anymore? I searched and couldn't find the subject but I think it's related to fungus. I love making it and I thought I would give this suggestion to anyone already making it. The kefir grains thrive on minerals so when I'm brewing it, no matter what flavor, I add an inch or two of dried seaweed (kombu). It doesn't affect the flavor and I'm sure it adds a lot of valuable minerals and vitamins to an already wonderful probiotic drink.

I was making water kefir often... but have temporarily stopped due to my many fermentation projects (kombucha, milk kefir, pickles, hot sauce, banana vinegar, and more)
I never heard of adding seaweed... great tip! I had been using sugar cane juice, dried fruit, and ginger tea as my base... when I start making it again I will try adding some seaweed.
