Organic milk kefir grains – Fresh/Live (2 teaspoons). Makes approximately 0.5 litres.
Our grains are fully active and will produce milk kefir from the day they arrive. All live grains, are harvested directly from our working batch just before posting and as such active, fresh grains require little time to acclimate to their new home. When you follow the enclosed step-by-step instructions, the grains should produce milk kefir as soon as you have moved them into their new home and are provided with the nutrients and environment they need to thrive.
All our kefir grains (fresh & dehydrated) are shipped in zip-sealed, food grade bags which are then heat sealed to avoid any possible leakage during transit. We then carefully package them in a hard plastic case to protect them from any possible damage such as being squashed during shipping. You also receive our detailed step-by-step, easy to follow instructions on how to care for these amazing health-giving organisms.

Uta helped me beyond the call of duty to rescue my water kefir after months of neglect, then over feeding with molasses! Uta explained the overgrowth of brown scum I discovered with shock was actually yeast from the molasses and has guided me diligently every step. Today I have sparking yummy water kefir again!
Uta is passionate about what she does and responds immediately. Best service ever!

Hi Grania,
I am delighted I was able to guide you through the process of getting your unwell water kefir grains to make a recovery. It was great to see that you were keen to give them the required attention and care and follow my recommendations all the way.
Water kefir grains are quite hardy and providing you do what is required chances are they will recover with the right process.
People often forget that they are little living organisms. If they are neglected their health will decline. But they are a great example that life will do its darnedest to hang on. When nutrition and environmental conditions are improved so can health, which should give anyone with health challenges eternal hope that things can always get better as long as we have the right focus and take the actions required.
The nutritional balance is what will keep water kefir grains performing at their optimum. This was one of the reason we formulated our KefirCulture Fermentations Starter/Booster Sugars+ Formula which contains a wide range of specialty sugars and 72+ trace minerals. It also takes the guesswork out of measuring a selection of ingredients every time you do a new fermentation. As they are a concentrated formula you only need as little as 25% of our sugars with the balance made up of raw sugar (preferably organic). It also produces as more consistent flavour profile as the flavour can vary significantly between fermentations. This can be due to changes in qualities of ingredients bu also the water used, environmental factors such as temperature and even a change in weather.
It’s also important that they are fermented regularly (every 2-4 days) depending on the time of year, or if you are resting them in your fridge.
Please always refer back to the instructions we provide and you can always rewatch our instructional videos. They are short and easy to follow and highly recommended if you are new to fermenting. We have instructional information for all our products on the website.
I’m delighted that your grains are well on their way to full vibrant health again so they can be a catalyst for your wellness and that of your loved ones.
It has been by absolute pleasure to be of assistance in that process.
Happy fermenting! Uta

Made my first batch from farmhouse gold milk (with cream on top) and it was delicious.

I spoke to Uta prior to ordering and she couldn’t have been more helpful, discussing the product and how and when best to order. Our little ‘babies’ arrived two days after ordering and we couldn’t be happier. They have grown and the health benefits have been amazing.

I placed the order on Sunday and our ‘babies’ arrived Tuesday well packaged and full of information. Instant success with cultivating and I’m already noticing the benefits. I have a mild psoriasis on my face and behind my ears which flares up from time to time and also post nasal drip and hayfever which seemed to have cleared up. No more sneezing bouts in the morning. Hallelujah. Our ‘babies’ are growing at a rapid rate and I couldn’t be happier. Uta has been so helpful with any questions and I’m so glad I found KefirCulture.

Hi Michael (Anonymous),
We appreciate your feedback.
With regards to your order…
Grains are packed in milk to feed them in transit.
We weigh orders at the time of packing (excluding milk) and the amount dispatched is noted on the front of the packaging to ensure that you are able to ferment the correct amount of milk.
4 grams ferments 250mls of milk as stated on our website. (Teaspoon can make it sometimes confuses as it’s by volume, and grains are oddly shaped which is why we reference weight to stop any confusion.)
Our grains are fresh and healthy and should have started fermenting straight away.
We are here to help and do our utmost to provide customers with a quality product and excellent service.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us either via our website contact page or directly during business hours.
Kind regards,
Uta (Customer Support)
