Product Info
Water Kefir Growth Premix – Nourish & Strengthen Your Grains
A nourishing blend of Organic Rapadura Sugar, Organic Molasses, Himalayan Salt, and Bicarb Soda to help your water kefir grains stay active and strong.
Sometimes your grains just need a little extra care — especially if they’re newly activated, recovering from postage, or fermenting slowly in cooler weather. This gentle growth premix is designed to feed and revitalise your grains, encouraging consistent bubbling and healthy fermentation.
What’s in it?
- Organic Rapadura Sugar – provides a clean, mineral-rich energy source for your grains
- Organic Molasses – packed with calcium, magnesium, and iron to support grain vitality
- Himalayan Salt – adds essential trace minerals that promote balanced fermentation
- Bicarb Soda – helps maintain optimal pH and mineral balance during fermentation
How to Use
Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon to your sugar-water solution 1–2 times per week when your grains need a boost.
Avoid daily use – this is a supplement, not a replacement for your usual sugar mix.
Perfect For
- Slow or struggling grains
- Cooler months when fermentation slows down
- Strengthening grains before travel or storage
Ingredients: Organic rapadura sugar, organic molasses, Himalayan salt, bicarb soda.
Packaged in a 150g pouch.
Hand-blended in small batches here at The Fermentation Station.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Water Kefir Growth Premix?
Add ¼–½ teaspoon to your regular sugar-water mix once or twice a week. Stir until dissolved before adding your grains. It’s best used as an occasional supplement, not every batch.
Can I use this instead of my usual sugar?
No — this mix is designed to supplement your usual sugar, not replace it. Continue using your regular sugar base (e.g. organic cane sugar or rapadura) for daily ferments.
When should I use it?
Use during cooler months, when your grains are sluggish, or after travel or storage. It’s also ideal if your kefir is taking longer to ferment or has lost its fizz.
How should I store the premix?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture. The minerals can clump slightly over time — just stir before use if needed.
Is it safe for continuous use?
It’s best to use occasionally, about once or twice per week. Overuse can alter the mineral balance of your water kefir, so moderation gives the best results.
Where is it made?
Each batch is hand-blended in small quantities here in Australia at The Fermentation Station.
Let customers speak for us
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf. I'll probably get another, which says it all.

Banneton
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit. Gets right down to the bottom of the starter jar. It gets a lot of use, and is something I'd gladly buy again when it wears out. Or get's eaten by the starter - sometimes it's a real wrestle with the darn beast hanging on to it, spitting and snarling.

Dough spatula
Great jar for sourdough starter
Great jar for sourdough starter. Does what it needs to do, which is, a) be a jar, b) stop your starter from escaping the lab and taking over the world. Good wooden lid for when the creature is napping in the fridge, and a cloth lid for when you Feed the Beast and let it do it's work

Fermenting Jar
Active Dough-eating beast
Great starter - active and making sourdough very quickly. I've been using Bake With Jack's sourdough starter scrapings method to minimise waste and it works perfectly: https://youtu.be/LddGEfOs-_M?si=grPzxrmwc6WPd37-

Hungry Critters
Amazing that you can send live critters in a bag in the post. Took the little fellas a day or two to wake up, but now they're munching through milk at a rate I can barely keep up with. The creature production line has rapidly expanded to two jars which produce kefir as fast as we can glug it. Our bowels rejoice.

White plastic dough scraper thingamabob.
It's a white plastic wotsit that scrapes dough. Probably the one item in the sourdough kits that I use most. This, along with the banneton, jar and dough spatula are all you need to make sourdough. The rest of the kit is just clutter.
I'd recommend https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/7/5/sourdough-loaf-for-beginners for a super-simple no fuss method.

Best gift I have purchased
I purchased the French Sourdough Starter Kit as a gift for my daughter Felicity, and she has absolutely mastered it! The kit was beautifully presented and came with everything she needed to get started. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and within no time she was baking delicious, crusty sourdough loaves that taste amazing.
It’s been such a joy watching her enthusiasm grow and seeing the wonderful results each week. This kit has truly sparked her love for sourdough baking — a perfect gift for anyone wanting to try something new and rewarding. Highly recommend!
