Video

I second the idea that this video needs a timer overlaid on the black back background. It would also be really useful if you had a percentage of 36 overlaid as well.

Can we do this with coconut milk or is this for animal milk only?

Thank you fusion teas! I ordered and received your grains and they are multiplying!

does anyone know what to do if you waited over 36 hours (I went to like 41 hours because I was too busy to strain it and sort of lost track of time)? My kefir separated with thick on top half and liquid on the bottom. after straining and mixing, it's too thin. Is it good to use or should I dump it? It's in the 70s/60s here where I am right now. I used 2 cups of milk. I am now on a new batch (1 cup) and will check back after 24 hours. I think I used too much milk on this batch or just waited too long...

Just got my grains from you. Psyched. Read your book. "Particular set of skills..." 😂 love it.

Does fat free milk work to keeps saturated fat low

how can they be stored for an extended time , like weeks if traveling. the video said in milk in fridge but what is max time?

I purchased my grains from you. True to form, they are very hearty. My gains have almost doubled in size in a week! I guess they're happy grains. I threw out the first two offerings and the third is in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow morning while the gains are on the counter for my next batch. I missed the part about not stirring during the process. I'll refrain from doing that...

Hi! I ordered my Kefir grains from Fusion Teas about a week ago. I've let it ferment over and over again and this is what the culture looks like after 36 hours. It never gets the pocket on the bottom nor does it get thick. What do i need to do?

i like to siphon off the whey which results in a really thick kefir. i also use a kefir cage so i can bypass the straining step and just move the cage, with grains, into another jar and and add milk. extremely quick and easy if you have trouble standing up for long, etc. thanks for the video.

This video is helpful. Thank you. I bought kefir grains from you, and they are currently being revived in 2 cups of milk. I am hoping for lovely kefir after the two or three rounds.Thank you for this live person video! It is more helpful than the non person instructional one. Your grains sre the hest!

So, do I need to repeat 3 times the process? And the 3 is the good?

Thanks you

Can’t wait to get started !!

Hello, I live in Dominican Republic. Temperature at home 25-27C. I have 1 tbs of kefir grains and I use 30oz of milk. I let it for 24 hours. And then I put kefir in the fridge. And a day after, kefir in the fridge has kind of bitter aftertaste. Can you tell me why does it happen. And it is not thick. However, I have it for 10 days.Maybe it is too early.

Hi, can a pregnant woman drink it ?

I am so glad I watched this!! I was stirring my grains here and there ….. 😢

Hello, How many grains should I use for 1/2 gallon and how many grains should I use for a gallon?

I am keep failing even 36hours

I kept mine for upto 7 days...is it still goodpls?😮

I received my grains yesterday and they are currently in the reactivate phase. They are beautiful, healthy grains and I don’t think it’s going to take long to completely reactivate! I am SO excited to add milk kefir to my new, healthy lifestyle!

Just purchased your grains and am waiting on 2nd jar to be completed and hopefully be able to consume batch #3. We are rather remote and struggle to find milk that is not ultra processed but did find organic so I am going with that for now. Thank you!

I’m seeing a lot of separation and whey at the bottom first, I got my grains two weeks ago from you. Can anyone tell me why?

After 36 h kefir is more healthy?

This is incredibly useful, I just started this week and have been steadily accumulating questions, leading with when I know it's done. The only way this could be improved is if you had an hour counter to go along with it. 36 hour seems quite long, I'm only going 24 hours but I noticed my grains have really started to become active starting with my last batch. First few rounds there was little more then somewhat thick milk. But the most recent batch is smooth and creamy, and only too 20 hour to reach a point that I understood it to be done.

Hello! Bought your grains and they did a wonderful job at giving me thick consistency with whole milk! After reviving them I used almond milk but the consistency was not thick. Does it work with almond milk? Don’t do well with animal milk. Thank you.

You need 24 hours for the probiotics to be sufficient to bother making it. Either dilute it a little bit with some cream once it’s chilled or second ferment it with the length of an orange peel, or maybe 2-3 blueberries.

Which one is the kefir?

Thomas I bought keifir grains from you and love it I have tried a recipe for keifir yogurt I found on CZcams several times only one was successful do you have any keifir yogurt recipes thank you

Do you ship to Canada?

Does anybody know if adding a pieces of lemon to finished Kefir and leaving it overnight in the fridge could hurt the probiotics in the kefir? I like the lemon taste but don't want to hurt the probiotics.

I recently began making kefir with organic High Temp Pasteurized whole milk from Costco and it is thick and delicious. There seems to be no problem whatsoever with it fermenting or getting lots of curds (and whey if I leave it too long). And it comes out at least 50% thicker than when I use regular pasteurized whole milk. Why do people say not to use organic HTP milk to make Kefir? It appears to work fine to me.

If you use cream you get very thick kefir like cream fraice.

I got my keifer grains you i may have messed up. I used store bought milk 😢. Did i mess it up? Its been years since I done this. I thought i used store bought then! Im freaking out

I got my keifir grains from your company & have had great success with I have so many grains I don't know what to do with them I can't even give them away hate to put them on compost but don't know what else to do with them. Great product & info on keifir was very thorough recommend to anyone wanting to make keifir. Also made keifir yogurt very easy & very good.

I was able to buy some grains from you and i received the ebook with the grains! I have been amazed at the benefits of this drink that i can make at home with milk! I have noticed a real difference in my digestion and other bodily functions...i have not been this healthy in years, i'm not making this up, or imagining the changes. Thank you so much for sharing something GOOD for us!

What size is that Mason jar?BTW I purchased your grains some weeks ago and they are wonderful. I got tired of buying expensive kefir in the supermarket. Since I have my grains my daughter and I are now enjoying beautiful kefir.❤

I ordered two of your generous tablespoons of grains and I'm in the beginning (2nd batch) phase of "reviving" them but one batch of grains is very vigorous (with less grains too) than the other batch and my question is, CAN I MIX THEM or should I just let the grains alone. THANK YOU!!!

Is kefir a precursor to cheese? I once left some milk sitting in my parent's car for too long. Whatever the milk had transformed into tasted like cheese but kinda looked like that. Unfortunately my stomach didn't like it and I threw up in the driveway. 😂 It's not like I'm lactose intolerant either, I've never had problems with non expired milk.

Your grains are Awesome! Plus, all the information you send with the grains is over and beyond helpful 👍 Thank you

Just got my grains in the mail today. I have two questions. How do you suggest we store or grains once we’ve made our first (or second) batch until we’re ready to make our next batch? Or does it need to be continuous. How many times can I keep using the same grains? Also… we drink raw dairy and would like to transition our grains to thrive with raw milk. I need advice and directions on that please.

Thank you!

If you call that thick got news for you mine is so thick I can spread it with a knife! Maybe by now he has figured out how to do it LOL so easy and fun is kefir.

I pour into my strainer about 1 cups worth at a time and giggle the strainer. Then use a rubber spatula to gently move everything around. Cup by cup till all is strained.

I also make weeks worth t a time and keep it in the back top area of the fridge. I make several jars and the one we are currently using is out front easy to grab. Kefir is so easy to use, make and mess around with. From cooking, drinking pouring over granola and making smoothies.

u didn't tell us what temperature this was done at

Got my grains, seem to be reviving nicely. My question is if I should clean the jar after straining them or do I just throw back the grains and add milk without washing it?

My kitchen is at a steady 69 degrees. If I use the 6 cups of whole milk to the tablespoon of grains ratio, should I expect to go a little over 36 hours, and will the longer timeframe have negative effects on the kefir?

I purchased 1 TBSP of the grains from you and it arrived 5 days early then expected. I put it in the mason jar with 2 cups of milk. Left it on the counter top. We’ll see how the first round turn out after 36 hrs.
