Second fermentation is an additional fermentation step to add excitement to your brew. Sugars are converted to acids, trace levels of alcohol and carbon dioxide gas which generates a huge amount of pressure, that's enough to cause cheap, low quality bottles to explode. This is why we launched these high quality bottles.
You can experiment with a range of different juices, whole fruit pieces, honey, herbs, spices and superfoods to create an endless range of different flavour and nutritional combinations. The fermentation helps to unlock nutritional compounds in your foods, making them more bioavailable but most appealing is it creates the most delicious probiotic fizzy drinks and milk kefir, low in sugar and much more economical and probiotic rich than store bought products.
There are lots of recipes ideas in our free NourishmeOrganics VIP Group here
2) Pour Mixture into Second Ferment Bottle, leaving 3 to 5 cm headspace and cap tightly.
3) Leave at room temperature for 2 to 7 days depending on the weather at the time i.e a warmer temperature will result in a faster second ferment ( the longer you leave the less sugar will be left but your brew will be more sour and potentially higher in alcohol**). We recommend tasting your brew daily to establish the taste that you like, and at this point you can end the ferment. Tasting is a good way to remind you to open and release any excess pressure in the bottle.
4) Transfer brew to a refrigerator to chill.
5) Open and Serve*
How to Second Ferment Milk Kefir?
1) Once you've fermented yourmilk kefir, mix in a jug, milk kefir + honey + fruit pieces + any spices and superfood like turmeric, acai, spirulina, maca, matcha, chia seeds etc + any herbs like mint, basil, nuts etc. We recommend starting with a small piece of lemon or orange peel or a couple of fresh berries. You can even make a savoury version using garlic, pepper and herbs. The flavour combinations are endless. So have a play.

Hi kriben, my first attempts at making kombucha using the scoby purchased from you have gone very well, I have second fermented using ginger and lemon and this is just fantastic 😀.Thanks Steve
Received a very fast delivery of 5gm of Kefir grains 2 weeks ago from NourishMe Organics. Immediately started the procedure to make following instructions. Now, 2 weeks later grains have increased to 50gm and I am enjoying the deliciousness of homemade milk kefir daily. Usually do a second ferment of around 2 hours. Experimented with blueberries, vanilla bean pod, cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick in the second ferments. Initially 1st ferment took up to 36-48hrs and now it’s reduced to 24hrs. Loving Milk Kefir, highly recommend NourishMe Organics🤩
Hi kriben, all is going well I have made several kefir batches so far and have got the hang of it now and l am very happy with how it's going. I have also bottled my first kombucha and made a second fermente with some mango in the bottle 👍😊
Have purchased this product regularly over a period of time always love the consistency of my thick Greek style yogurt and delivery is always prompt so have never worried about deteriorating quality. Very happy with all products purchased from Nourishme Organics
I have bought Coconut water Kefir grains a few time over the years, the grains are consistently at great quality, easy to grow, ferment the coconut water.
This is my first time using kefir grains and working with this ancient SCOBY is absolutely delightful! I have made some excellent kefir and also drained the whey to make some delicious kefir cheese. It did take me a little bit to get used to the sour flavour but now it is so refreshing and a great fermented food to add to the diet. I find myself even craving kefir now! The grains are beautiful and after feeding them, have increased in size. I didn't use any colostrum or feeding formula to start off with and just used milk and that was enough to keep them happy and feeding nicely. I don't particularly use the recipe book as I find that adding anything else just dilutes the original taste of kefir and I prefer the original taste now. Would recommend to anyone who would like to add a fermented food to their diet and also learn a new skill and work with LIVE cultures. When you have respect and reverence for your food, it translates into your health so using kefir grains has allowed me to further develop my relationship with food like I didn't have before.
