Keffir making a scoby

[Listen_Up_Sonny]

I'm hoping some of the booch people here have some experience with Keffir.

I've started brewing water keffir. What I've noticed is that the keffir forms a scoby like kombucha. I was under the impression that as you brew, your grains multiply. Instead, my grains have began to shrink in individual size and total volume, and I get a scoby on the top.

Is this normal? If not, can I fix it?

 

[snarf]

Odd. Yes, the water kefir grains are supposed to multiply. Could it be that your brew is 'infected' by your kombucha culture?

 

[legbuh]

I brewed water kefir for a year and never got a scoby. Grains just multiplied like mad!

Something is wrong.
