Freshly Fermented – Organic Certified Milk Kefir Grains Starter Culture

Amazing stuff. Ordered 5g but grew rapidly to 30g in around a week or so, including the activation period. As the other comments have mentioned, they're quite aggressive lol, which js a good thing of course.Taste wise, it's pretty good. Was kind of tangy sour first couple days, but, a week on, the grains have settled in nicely and kefir is a nice single cream (maybe thicker) consistency. Much better than the biotiful kefir I was buying before.

These grains are pricey but work very well and I would recommend them. I have been using them for a few weeks. They grow like mad and have stored surplus in milk in the freezer. Trying a milk and coconut milk mix (coconut milk ~25%) fermented well and tastes good. All kafirs benefit from a second fermentation - makes it taste better. For the second fermentation , after sieving out the grains, I add a teaspoon of inulin to 500 ml of kafir to give the kafir something to work with. I also leave the filtered kafir on the kitchen work top for a few hours to get the fermentation started before putting in the fridge for a few days. I double filter the kafir, bit of a faff but worth the effort second sieve is a fine one.

The grains woke up and grew -good video tutorial. Kiefer has worked well !

Very good but not very much content.

This kefir' taste was bad and hardly grew... I threw it away just 4 days after purchasing it.I have been growing my own Kefir at home for years. I decided to grow it again after a short break, and I couldn't be more disappointed. The taste was bad, the milk was never as thick as expected, and the grains grew almost nothing. Very disappointing.I bought a different brand just after throwing away this one, and just two days later, my new kefir was obviously growing, and fermented milk was thick and tasty.

I have been making milk kefir successfully for 20 years but stopped during the upheaval of having a new kitchen fitted. Followed the instructions with these grains but when I started full production I never managed to get the creamy yoghurt like results of old. The milk separated and the grains formed a cauliflower like solid lump floating on the top of the whey. I did push it through a sieve and the flavour was lovely but it immediately separated again. Perhaps it was the weather as it has been very hot. The grains were much larger than the ones I used in the past.

Great start to making my own kefir

I've been using these kefir grains for about two months now, carefully following all the instructions provided. Unfortunately, the experience has been very disappointing. The grains have not grown at all since I received them, and the kefir they produce is extremely weak — more watery than creamy, with very little tang or fermentation activity.Worse still, I'm getting smaller and smaller yields each time, which tells me the grains are not healthy or viable. I've made kefir before with other grains, so I know what to expect, and this is not it. I'm really unhappy with this purchase and don't believe these grains were healthy from the start.I would appreciate a refund, as the product did not perform as described. I was excited to incorporate homemade kefir into my routine, but this has been frustrating and disappointing. Please let me know how to proceed with the return/refund process.
