Kefirko – Second Fermentation Bottle Second Ferment Your Kefir with Ease Elevate your homemade kefir experience with the Kefirko Second Fermentation Bottle. This innovative glass jar, complete with a specialised lid, simplifies the process of second fermentation, allowing for easy monitoring, pouring, and drinking of your deliciously enhanced kefir. Why Second Ferment Your Kefir? Many home kefir makers choose to second ferment their kefir for several compelling reasons. Not only does it significantly improve the taste, reducing the sourness of regular kefir, but it also enhances its nutritional profile. During second fermentation, the levels of certain B vitamins, such as folic acid, increase. This process also makes minerals like calcium and magnesium more bio-available, meaning your body can absorb and utilise them more effectively . Essentially, second fermentation kefir is pre-digested and rich in enzymes, making it a powerhouse of nutrients. Product Features Drinkable Spout: Open the top cover to pour or drink kefir directly from the jar. Take it With You: The airtight seal allows you to carry Kefirko with you, ensuring you never miss your daily dose of kefir. Storage: Need a break from kefir? Store your grains in the Kefirko jar, covered with the lid. Size Options: Available in regular (848 ml/28 oz) and large (1.4 l/50 oz) sizes. Compatibility: The second fermentation lid fits with Kefirko glass from the Kefirko Kefir Maker or Kefirko Cheese Maker, accommodating both small (0.6 l/20 oz) and large (1.4 l/50 oz) jars. Durable Materials: Crafted from quality glass and BPA-free, food-safe plastic materials for the lid. Maintenance Tips Before the first use, wash the bottle and lid thoroughly. For deep cleaning, occasionally remove the silicone rubber under the lid and clean it with warm, soapy water. Always attach the lid firmly to the glass jar to prevent spills and keep the bottle upright while in use. When storing kefir, remember to ‘burp’ the jar occasionally to avoid pressure build-up and potential explosion. Easy Fermentation Tracking Preparing a fresh batch of kefir or any other fermented drink has never been easier. The start time is marked on the lid, divided into quarters representing 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM, and 12 AM. This fermentation clock indicates the 24-hour primary fermentation at room temperature and the subsequent 24-hour secondary fermentation in a refrigerator. This feature ensures you are always aware of the fermentation duration, optimising the process for the best results. Every Kefirko Second Fermentation Bottle includes a fermentation clock to help you keep track of your fermenting time. With the Kefirko Second Fermentation Bottle, enhancing your kefir is straightforward, ensuring a more nutritious and flavourful beverage every time.
