Wonder if milk Kefir grains will survive continuous batches in coconut water. I tried my milk kefir grains and they seem okay for 1 batch. They work with milk again. I'm not sure I should keep on cycling them in coconut water. How do I know if they are dying in my coconut water?

Another question.

I've also tried coconut water with water kefir grains also. In the 2nd batch, my water kefir grains turn cloudy. They were clear from the first batch. Any ideas what's going on.

I would put the milk kefir grains in the coconut water once.. Then use some of your coconut water, maybe 1/4 cup as a starter for another batch since its rich in bacteria. You can do a few generations like that before you need to reintroduce the milk grains again. That's usually what I do.

Water kefir grains I've found to be abit more needy and can get cloudy and slimy if you use them in different ways.. I've had them go bad before. Its not such a bad thing to rinse water kefir grains in filtered water to make sure they are clean for a new batch.

Hello,

Thanks for the video response.. that's a great way to get into the coconut.. seems there's no completely easy way. A friend of mine uses a standard power drill.. just gotta make sure the drill bit is nice and clean :-)

When I lived in west palm beach.. I would go by peoples houses and ask if I could take their coconuts.. they were so plentiful. I cut 60 of them one day

coconuts are readily available in d tropics

[culturedprobiotics]

Yes they are.. when I lived in Florida I would pick them but now live in New England and get them at a Thai Supermarket. Whole foods carries them but they are more than twice the cost for the same thing. Since they are used in Thai Cooking and thought to be healthy for pregnant mothers, they seem to move faster in the Thai Supermarket I've found

HE IS RIGHT!!!! metal strainer is NOT good , plastic or wood tools. The metal ions can KILL the kefir.

[showmevidsbiatch]

Dude... invest in a cheap 2 liter pitcher; Then you can just strain directly into that AND use it to cleanly pour the liquid. No bowl or funnel or baking dish to clean up afterward, just the pitcher.

@sergiomarcen Solubility of metal ions is so incredibly low that you would not see any difference. Solid metal is not the same as metal ions

hmm why did you chop all three coconuts if you only gonna put it in the one little jar. Shoulda just done one for the demo to avoid the mess and poured it from those glass measuring cups.

My bf just uses one big chopping knife to chop it open. A couple of chops and it normally opens and I like to eat the coconut meat with the juice. Yummy. Didn't know it had a lot of sugar though. Good to know.

How to fix a pickled water kefir? My kefir has white spots on them and lately their making the water so thick. I used 4 cups spring water, 4-6tbsp of white granulated sugar, and 2 dates.

Can i use packaged coconut water? it's organic and its seems high quality

[tty23]

I noticed you used a metallic spoon and strainer, isn't that bad for the kefir?

I read where people with hiv are using coconut water to help kill their virus. Apparently something about its chemistry breaks down the coating on the virus , allowing the body to defeat it.

The way to open the coconut is to hit it with a heavy knife on the top four times so that you cut out a square. No need to cut off the flesh on the top. That way you can also take out the meat easily.

@phishead07 you are right ! so many vids on tube and I have to find a vid with a correct pronunciation yet

[witchdoctorguru]

Why did you put in the square pan before spilling it? Am I confused?
