Thanxs for showing elusive kefir grains of homesteading vry critical tip to wash wid distill water not wid chlorinated tap water which kills kefir live cultures
Add more milk, shorten ferment. The fresh addition of milk will refresh and sweeten the sour kefir. Set on counter 12 hrs, then put in frig. I've also added MAPLE SYRUP at times.
Try doing a second ferment. After you strain out the grains, add a bit of fruit to the jar and let it sit on the counter again for a few hours, before putting it in the fridge. I’ve used different berries, orange or lemon slices , dates. You only need a couple pieces. The microbes eat on the sugar in the fruit and the flavour of the kefir mellows and gets a little fizzy. PIt also boosts the vitamin content even more. You can reuse the fruit or peel for several batches.
Great tutorial !!! I'm new to Kefir making and I love it! I'm pleased to learn how to wash the grains. Thank you for sharing. All the best.
I love homemade kefir blended with frozen fruit and a little stevia and honey to sweeten. It comes out like ice cream.

Yes , that is true. I use distilled for everything!
Finally the video I wanted, thanks so much
Awesome! I hope it was helpful!
Thank you for a very informative video. I love kefir!!
You are welcome! Hope it helps!
How much do you sell your grains for ? Thx
15.00 when I have them. I usually just sell them locally
its easier to add milk to the kefir with grains and shake and strain.
I will also give that a try!
What to do if the kefir turns out to be too sour
You can test it as you go. Usually 1 day will not make it too sour. I will say that over time, I have developed a taste for the more sour flavor!
