    Healthy Grains

    Posted by D. on 8th Feb 2018

    Our family is new to drinking healthy probiotic-rich kefir. After checking out several websites for kefir grains, I decided to go with this kefir making kit with fresh Wisconsin grains and I was not disappointed. As the instructions indicate, after several days, I had made my own fresh kefir with terrific results. We now have fresh kefir daily. I'm doing the double fermentation method and can get excellent curds & whey. The grains are multiplying nicely. Very pleased.

    Great Product

    Posted by Judith Schwartz on 27th Mar 2017

    I have never made Kefir before and after advice from The Cheesemaker, I ordered the kit and having the right equipment really made a difference. The instructions are great and I am about to use my first batch.

    Kefir grains worked great.

    Posted by Susan Bentley on 16th Jan 2017

    I love my kefir grains! It took a while but I finally figured out the ratio so I don't end up with too much whey. They have multiplied like crazy, guess they really love the organic milk I use, and I have frozen several backups. I even resorted to letting some cultivate in the fridge. I have a quart jar with grains and milk in the fridge that is ready just about every 3 days. It is creamy, thick, fizzy, and perfectly sour. I can't tell the difference between the 3 day fridge kefir and my 1 day countertop kefir. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks. My question for you is, can I expect the fridge grains to survive happily same as the countertop grains or will they eventually succumb to the cold? Should I switch them out every now and then with the countertop grains so they have some warmth or keep them going as they are? I also converted a batch to water kefir and now have delicious, very fizzy water kefir every 2 days. Your grains have been amazing ! Thank you. Susan Bentley, Montgomery, Alabama. Note from thecheesemaker: Kefir grains propagate best at 70f(slower growth)-85f(faster growth). Fermentation will slow down in the refrigerator and colder temps can stress the grains.-Steve

    Basically good but confusing directions

    Posted by Michael Cleveland on 19th Aug 2016

    The initial email about how to use the product indicated one could drink the first batch, but the booklet instructions indicate no. I'm still confused. Which is it? And when you end up with a multitude of grains, do you then divide them into two or more batches? Confusing. Note from Steve/thecheesemaker.com: Thanks Michael for your input. We've tweaked the recipe/protocol and added additional information which will help even more to make fresh Kefir using the Fresh Kefir Grains.
