Family Size Water Kefir Fermentation Starter Kit

very happy with my kefir and looking forward to making it for a long time!

Very refreshing drink, instructions are clear and easy to make.

Ordered the starter kit and it is so easy. Started the ferment for 2 days, then 2nd ferment with the rootbeer kit. Hubby thought it was crabapple gingerale, I wasn't sure. 2nd and now 3rd batch I made Raspberry Lemonade. It is so good that I don't get a chance to even taste it and he has it all drank. Now it is an every 2 day job. Like I said why oh why? Will have to order some just for me and hide it way.

Working on the first couple of batches and just getting to know our water kefir grains and their particular character. We have to work with reverse osmosis water so making them happy is taking some detective work but we're figuring it out I think.

I am loving my water kefir. Have tried a few recipes and am happy with everything. Things seem to be going well. I’m a beginner and am loving this experience.

I received the kit and it had some broken glass. The company replaced the whole kit, which was a bonus to me because I have one extra bottle and a few other things. Thank you so much. I look forward to using it. I’ll let you know how my comforter turns out.

I love the taste of water kefir compared to kombucha and once I got the hang of the procedure it’s quite easy. Just a few suggestions for the glass bottles. I found the glass brewing jar in the starter kit quite unwieldy to use. I recommend just using a 1 L mason jar and buy the Masontops kefir lids. Also the glass swivel bottle in the starter kit is not very tight and lets the carbonation out. I got the IKEA swivel bottle and it works great. I have a lot more carbonation. The instructions could be a bit more simplified and detailed. When they say boil your water first and let it get to room temperature this takes several hours so plan accordingly and make sure it’s less than 29 degrees C. I may have killed some of my grains by putting too hot of water at one point. Otherwise I think the concept is a great way to get probiotics!

Kit arrived perfectly intact. I ordered the live grains - the fermentation process was fast and the kefir is delicious!

I like what I see but bought the kit ASAP bday gift for a friend who wanted to try it....thank you

I learned about this product from a friend. The Q&As have been helpful. I haven’t experimented with the flavouring yet. I am on my third batch and still no carbonation. I am trying to see if this helps me with my IBS. Jury is still out and I will keep using the product. My only complaint is that I wish I had known how much of the sugar mixture was in the starter kit and how many bottles it would make. I live in Calgary and I hate having to pay for shipping. I would have ordered more with my first order. I believe in the process and health benefits.

This is the first time I ever made water kefir, I don't have anything to compare it to. I will be reaching out to ask questions on fizz level. I find my flavoured water kefir becomes flat. The dried fruit infusions don't work well in the swivel bottle, I have been grinding the infusions down to a powder in my magic bullet. It works better that way, I do have to strain when drinking the flavoured fruit infusion. The root beer one tastes medicinal, I won't purchase again, the blueberry one tastes similar to wine cooler. I'm enjoying the apple infusion. Thanks!

I’m enjoying my first glass using the turmeric spice blend. Love it! The instructions were easy to follow and my first bottle turned out great! Looking forward to making many more batches. Thank you, Happy Gut team!

I was talking to my son one day about healthy eating and he mentioned water kefir. I never heard of it before.
I looked online and found happygutpro.com. I was looking for a Canadian supplier and was pleased when I found the site.
I purchased the starter kit so I would have everything I needed up front.
My husband and I are enjoying the different blends of kefir that I’ve made. Shared with one of my other sons and he and his wife enjoy the pineapple juice & ginger blend.
Love the website- when I asked a question online, they were prompt and thorough in answering me.
I’ve made kumbacha before but found it over powering for me. When I read that water kefir was milder, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did.
Worth the purchase and you won’t be disappointed.

Love the fact that I could brew at home and try this kit. I am addicted now! Definitely recommend. I did get confused with the instructions for the second batch however after coming to the website I was able to find an easier explanation for the instructions.

3 Stars until I can set up in my new home in a few months; I cannot give a higher rating YET. However, I am verrrrrrrry impressed with the equipment and LIFETIME support which I have received for such a low price!

I wanted to leave a review after using the kit for about a week and after being treated so well by the HappyGutPro staff. We had a small issue with the courier as our delivered family sized kefir starter kit was smashed up and only about 1/3 of the order was intact. This had nothing to do with the way it was packaged but just total neglect on the courier's end. Upon receiving the package I contacted them and received a response almost immediately directly from Leeza herself! She was very understanding and immediately shipped out a replacement package free of charge (including shipping). The staff at HappyGutPro is highly recommended and their customer service is second to none. We really appreciate your integrity and value your tips and helpfulness through email. From our first attempt we have been making water kefir successfully without issue. The supplied candied ginger and sugar allowed us to flirt with water kefir and understand the process. We did use pineapple juice as recommended and have had a ton of fizz very quickly. Thank you Leeza and your amazing staff - we will be back very shortly for flavorings and extra accessories. You are highly recommended by us and we will continue to let everyone know how well we were treated even though our issue was not your fault in any way. We will be placing orders throughout the year but also during the holidays for gifts. Thank you again! Justin

I bought the kit June 2021. I had tried making Kombucha before, (found it took a lot of time, messy) and was nervous of making milk kefir. I also had been having some issues with diverticulitis, and was hoping the probiotics would help. I am so happy I decided to give this a try. I love this fizzy water and trying all different flavourings. I’ve experimented with coconut water and I look forward to trying it with nut milks. Water kefir taste great, better then Kombucha in my opinion and I feel like I’m doing something positive for my gut health. I haven’t had an attack since I started drinking this on a regular basis. Could be a coincidence but I don’t think so.

Absolutely perfect. The weather has been so warm that I already have 5x the grains as I started with! It is a hit in our house with candied ginger and I can't keep up with the batches lol the star system seemed off on my phone, if it is less than 5 stars it is a mistake because this kit deserves 5 stars. Everything you need to get started.

I ordered the live grains on the website, quick delivery, grains were healthy, the packaging was nice/clean/tamper proof. the continous support is a blessing for beginners in this new beverage trial:) a BC comapny is a big bonus, luv to support our local businesses. keep up the great service Happygut!!!

I started my water kefir brewing journey in January 2021 and I am loving this product the starter kit comes with every thing you need and the flavour infusions are delicious. I have been making one bottle a day and loving every one. My gut issues have improved as well.

This starter kit is totally fail proof and worth it (plus recipes on their website and everything you need to know.) I earned my money back on the starter kit in just a few days with how quickly my grains reproduced and was able to start making double and triple batches, saving me TONS if I had been buying the equivalent pre-made kefir from the store!! I would highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for healthy ways to enjoy a drink with less sugars, amazing flavours and healthy probiotics!

These happy little grains worked well right away. It was my first time fermenting kefir, and by my second batch it was nice and bubbly. I'm a few weeks in and they seem foolproof so far! My favourite second ferment recipe is 1/2 cup chopped frozen peaches and a few slices of fresh ginger. But I use cheap apple juice when I'm in a hurry and it works great too! I never liked kombucha, so I'm happy to have this as an alternative.

my 2 sister n laws and my sister have purchased your kits since I introduced your kefir to them! I just want to say thanks for your exceptional costumer service and believing in your customers. I was very intimidated at first and now kefir is part of my family's healthy living! Im so proud to be using it! You are truly making a difference! Thank you and cheers from my house to yours!

Terrific product with excellent service and support! My grains-only order arrived two days after ordering and I started brewing the end of that week. Awesome turnaround! Directions are clear and instructional videos super helpful. Key tips: no metal, and mineralize tap water to achieve fizz of 2nd in-bottle ferment. (A pinch of black salt worked for me, available in health food stores or south-asian groceries.) Delicious and refreshing results. Shared with foodie friends who said they'd order at a restaurant if available. It's that good!

Great product. I have had great success cause it is so easy! Not time consuming at all. Kids and hubby love the drinks. Happy that it is a Canadian supplier! ?What Canada makes, makes Canada!?

I received my order quickly and have been really pleased with the products I'm making. Water kefir has a gentle flavour compared to kombucha and everyone in my family is loving it. I did have a few questions about brewing that were quickly answered. I love that there are recipes and tips coming to my inbox regularly. Overall a great company with excellent customer service. I highly reccomend!

I just bought the grains because I'm used to ferment and had all the equipment. I was really impressed with the super quick delivery! I received them the next day I ordered them and I could start fermenting straight away! Thank you!
