It was hard to tell from the video. I'm sure the instructions with the grains will help but I am perplexed as to how to reuse the grains right now :) Thanks!

I am LOVING it! I make mine with sucanat so it almost tastes like tea. But a couple of days ago I dropped some fresh ginger slices in it after I removed the grains. YUM! I also shared grains with a friend who is allergic to tea and she's VERY pleased to have an alternative. :) I started with water kefir about a month ago. I am LOVING it!

You'd want to consult more of an expert like Julie from Cultures for Health, or just buy water kefir grains to be sure. good luck! :) Katie Lorie,

Also, if I'm on a casein (dairy)-free diet, do you think my grains are always going to have casein in them now?

It actually tends to take over, so I would plant it in a pot or something that won't let it spread. I believe apple mint is similar. I get my plants at an herb festival usually, but any good greenhouse should have these in spring. Brenda,

Chloramine doesn't evaporate when you let the water stand. I use a reverse osmosis filter to get rid of the chloramine, though there are drops that neutralize chloramine. They keep the water from killing fish, but adding more chemicals to my drinking/cooking water doesn't sound good to me.
