Give them more time if you don't want the sugar yourself. I sometimes put some cut up fresh fruit the last hours of fermentation to give it a fruity flavor. If you have more questions call me 801-765-4645 as I am having trouble answering questions on my own blog. I am such an amataur.Joanne Sealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270586181804410446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116389368354697658.post-51247709834695961082011-09-04T16:26:52.689-07:002011-09-04T16:26:52.689-07:00yesyesJoanne Sealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270586181804410446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116389368354697658.post-16754195623206762932011-08-27T10:58:33.305-07:002011-08-27T10:58:33.305-07:00Oh, and on the prill instructions it says to wait ...Oh, and on the prill instructions it says to wait 24 hours.

Why do you strain 3 qts off after 2 hours and leave the other quart with the prills? What if I left the prills in a gallon + container overnight and then we drink off/use the water for the rest of the day? I guess... I just don't know why you transfer it to the other container and not leave it and use it regularly from the original.<br /><br />If water kefir is suppose to taste slightly sweet, does that mean some of the sugars are still present or does the kefir eat all of it? I am on an anti-candida diet and can't consume sugar. What if I left the kefir a little longer so it was slightly sour and then used the flavored sweetleaf stevia to flavor the beverages... would it still taste like soda pop?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />WendyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768827528670090751noreply@blogger.com
