My water kefir keeps getting a bit yeasty - foam on the top, and smelling a bit more beery than usual. It's not that much of an issue but I think it reduces the time I can store the kefir water, as the yeast converts the remaining sugars to alcohol and it starts to taste unpleasantly boozy after a few days.
I've moved it to a new super clean jar with a new muslin, but there's inevitably some yeast residue transferred with the grains. I'm sure it's just down to the weather, but I wonder if there's anything I can do to encourage the scoby to defeat the yeast?
