Water kefir is sugar water with dried fruit, fermented by grains made of dextran that hold lactic bacteria and yeasts. In two to four days at room temperature it turns fruity, sour, fizzy and slightly alcoholic. The grains are sieved out and start the next batch. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 7 days. The longest step, ferment at room temperature, takes 2–7 days (Laureys D 2022) and runs at 17–29 °C (Laureys D 2022). Liquorilactobacillus nagelii and Lentilactobacillus hilgardii do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceHousehold-style laboratory recipe from Laureys et al. 2022, made in 250-mL bottles. Grains kept in Uruguayan households were fed 500 mL of 100 g/L unrefined cane sugar per 50 g of grains (Garmendia et al. 2025).
Total time across the recorded steps: 2 days – 7 days

What makes this one different
Water kefir grains are a different community from milk kefir grains. They are dextran, not kefiran, and they ferment sucrose and fruit in water rather than lactose in milk. Kombucha ferments sweet tea under a floating cellulose mat instead.
Unrinsed grainsGrains not rinsed between batches give more acid and alcohol in the drink and more Dekkera bruxellensis and Liquorilactobacillus nagelii.
Long cyclesLonger gaps between feeds (up to 4 days were tested) favour Oenococcus sicerae and Dekkera bruxellensis; short gaps favour Liquorilactobacillus nagelii and S. cerevisiae.
Safety
Water kefir is not always alcohol-free. Household drinks held 0.94–1.32 % ethanol after 7 days, and 8 retail drinks held 0.14–1.70 % ABV, above the US limit of 0.5 % ABV for non-alcoholic drinks in some cases (Canada allows 1.1 %). The finished drink reaches about pH 3.5.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium DNA in some household grains; not detected in the finished drinks.
Water kefir is kept going in households by passing grains from batch to batch. Grains studied in Uruguay had been shared and propagated that way for years (Garmendia et al. 2025).
