About 2 years ago I started brewing water keifer for the probiotic effects. It is a great way to water down juice and get some good health benefits. Eventually i found a website that said I could make fizzy water by allowing keifer to ferment an additional day or too in an airtight bottle. Bought a 1 quart grolsch bottle from Amazon and started making various fizzy drinks. The funny thing is i would forget about the bottle and one and sometimes 2 weeks later i would remember about the bottle on top of my fridge. Eventually I started to realize I was getting a buzz from these drinks. Flash forward to today, I have evolved considerably, I now own a bunch of 16-oz grolsch bottles, several gallon carboys, a bunch of airlocks etc.
This journey came with ups and downs. I was using cheep flip top bottles and one exploded in my cabinet resulting in hours of clean up. There was the time I made vinegar and drank about half a quart before i realized it.
I really can not find any good material out there about fermenting keifer for alchololic drinks. So I decided to start a blog to document my journey for other aspiring home brewers.
