hello,
you can buy a Refractometer on ebay for about 30$, and test a few drops. it will give you a percentage of sugar. the more expensive the model of refractometer will have a larger range and higher accuracy.
i have looked into this but have not purchased one myself yet.
good luck
ciao

I recently tried making coconut kefir with packets kefir. I stirred in the kefir into coconut water,however I didn’t get it to dissolve/mixed up completely.

So now there it like undissolved particles in the bottom of the jar. It is fermenting and I’m just wondering if it is still good to consume like this?
And yes, the liquid has the cloudy white look to it.
Please help.

Hi! I was looking to see if you can make kefir out of canned coconut milk too and I found this site that gives a recipe.
http://just-making-noise.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-make-coconut-kefir.html
I am going to try it with powder starter, as this is what I have. Also, she says it turns out very thick, so I think I will try it with water added (and without the other ingredients listed below).
“Eat Fat Lose Fat” has many coconut milk recipe’s and one is for
Coconut Milk Tonic (calories and calcium equal to Milk)
* 1 can whole coconut milk *1 3/4 cups water * 2 Tbsp maple syrup * 1 tsp pure vanilla extract * 1 tsp Dolomite Powder (calcium, found at vitaminshoppe.com).
Here’s hoping!
Kim

hi Kimi,
I’m rather confused, what’s the difference between kefir packets and kefir grains? I live in Singapore and am intending to buy some starters off the internet…are those the water kefir grains you are talking about? do you buy the kefir packets from a health food shop or?

many thanks!! i’ve been a lurker on your site and i’m so delighted with all i’m learning from you!

p/s coconut milk and juice is abundant here because we are in the tropics. the canned variety here has additives in it so i’m thinking of making my own – our markets here sell grated coconut, fresh.

I have live Water Kefir grains/SKG/Tibicos, if anyone wants to buy some. They’re very healthy cultures, & make great fermented fruit drinks (even plain lemon is fantastic!!), & perfect for Young Coconut Juice kefir. They last a lifetime, as long as they’re looked after. The packets are too expensive!

**Australia only, thanks**

Kombucha caused Candida in me. The sugar did not get eaten off enough.
