Any Home Bakers Here?

I did think about adding honey but its antibiotic properties kill some of the probiotics in kefir I’ve read.

Yeah, that's why I'd take the starter/grains out before I added honey.

It's the same thing with kombucha. I'm S-L-O-W-L-Y changing my kombucha SCOBY from sugar to honey. The bacteria in the two of them don't play well together right away.

I read the honey just takes out some of the benefits of kefir (without the grains in) but I might flavour with honey sometimes but I think fruit is better.

Ah, thank you, I hadn't heard that honey negates the benefits of kefir. Interesting, good to know. The fruit flavored stuff I bought to see if I liked it well enough to make my own was good. But I don't always have the fruit on hand, and I do have honey.
