Actually, you can ferment kefir either way, covered or not covered.

This is true of both water kefir (AKA SKG) *and* dairy kefir.

Some folks ferment kefir covered in attempt to increase carbonation. (or in the

case of dairy kefir, to keep smell at bay, when some in household are sensitive

to that odor.)
