Another great video thank you (and some more things to add to my ever growing order 😂)

[@GutHealthGurus]

Thanks!

I thought you needed to boil the water anyway? I'm using filtered water, BUT, with rapadura sugar, loaded with minerals etc.

[@jlondon158]

.. tip-- FYI on "chlorination " .. they're( public utilities ) using chloramine .. which does not evaporate & must be filtered out .. it staying active in the water supply indefinitely .. ( and in your body .. )

[@GutHealthGurus]

good point..water supply in your region matters

[@samwell8943]

Is the mineral water needs to boil also or the mineral water from grocery can use directly?

[@GutHealthGurus]

no need to boil bottled water

[@snowyowl6892]

Cd we use filtered water if we add a pinch of sea salt for the minerals. …

[@GutHealthGurus]

Yes this is possible for someone with experience making water kefir

[@denisebrand8536]

Hi, I noticed you used a metal spoon to stir the kefir, I had the understanding that the metal is not liked by the grains so to use a wooden or silica spoon

[@AlexRawlings]

If its non-reactive like stainless steel its fine. The same taboo is spread by some sourdough makers but not by real bakers who have worked with it for a long time. Its amazing how some myths spread.

[@GutHealthGurus]

@@AlexRawlings absolutely agree

[@simo-dv5xk]

Is this process the exact same for coconut water.

[@GutHealthGurus]

absolutely

[@AlexSmith-fs6ro]

What about distilled water?

[@GutHealthGurus]

doesn't work

[@acquabalance4115]

How about coconut water?

[@GutHealthGurus]

yes perfect to use

[@valentinamunoz1867]

using metal to touch the grains?

[@Mrs-Emcee]

Stainless steel is okay. No aluminium or irons that rust.

[@MindfulSapient]

How much is the alcohol content in water kefir? Is it suitable for kids to drink it?

[@kgov]

The first ferment would be less that 0.5%. My kids drink

[@curlyhairdudeify]

Almost none.

[@TheGoddessSeries]

But I thought you couldn’t ferment in lab?

[@GutHealthGurus]

That's right...kefir grains are from nature

[@agnesre]

Can i drink water kefir when i im pregnancy?

[@GutHealthGurus]

It is best to consult with your health practitioner

[@agnesre]

@@GutHealthGurus thank you

[@auntpurl5325]

Fussy approach to a simple thing.

[@GutHealthGurus]

Water Kefir can be challenging for some
