Fermentation

I've been making water kefir. A friend gave me a starter in Oakland a month or so ago, and ta da! 

also found this cool blog that describes the goodness of water kefir.....

They write:
Water Kefir Grains, also known as Sugar Kefir Grains, Tibicos, Tibi, Japanese Water Crystals, Ginger Beer Plant or California Bees, are a culture of bacteria and yeast held in a polysaccharide matrix created by the bacteria. The microbes present in Water Kefir Grains exist in a symbiotic relationship thus maintaining an incredibly stable culture. The friendly microbes feed off the sugar in the sugar water solution, producing lactic acid, alcohol (ethanol), and carbon dioxide gas which carbonates the drink.Water kefir is a fantastic non-dairy alternative to milk kefir with PROBIOTICS and ENZYMES !!
