Cultures for Health Kefir Starter Culture | 32 Packets Freeze Dried Starter Powder | Make Kefir with Milk, Water, or Juice | Re-Culture Kefir Probiotic Drinks 2-7x Each | Cultures in Less Than a Day

Followed the reviewer mentioned in the title. Used 18 hr fermentation time (vs 24). Bought items to replicate all her suggestions, but added (FyndraX Pour Spout Lids for Ball Wide Mouth Mason Jars) for storage in the refrigerator after fermentation was completed. Mild flavor (compared to what a 24 hr time would give). Only problem was how difficult to blend the Kefir Starter POWDER; I must have stirred a good 15 minutes to get the surface clumps out. To the finished, refrigerated product, I blended a portion with fresh strawberries and some Pure Inventions - Coconut Water Infusion Drops –( Electrolytes - Sugar-Free Hydration). Yum. (Both the pour spout wide mouth lids and the coconut water infusion drops are available from Amazon). I printed out reviewer Judy Craig's "how-to"--simple & accurate

These kefir grains are excellent, active, and well cared for. I put a pouch in 2 liters of whole milk, and it began fermenting right away and produced a rich, creamy kefir with a pleasantly tangy flavor. The powdered grains multiply steadily, a sign of vitality and quality. So far easy to maintain, resilient, a reliable, long‑term culture.

This kefir starter is absolutely useless. I tried making kefir twice, and both times I followed the directions exactly as written. Same result every time: the milk never turned into kefir. No thickening, no tang, nothing—just spoiled milk. I didn’t change the milk, the temperature, or the timing. If a product can’t work when the instructions are followed precisely, then the product is the problem. To make matters worse, once you realize it doesn’t work, you’re stuck with it. Their no-return policy means I’m now left with unused packets I can’t return after already wasting milk and time trying to make this work. If you’re new to kefir or expect a starter culture to actually culture, avoid this product. There are much better options out there that actually do what they claim.

Made my first batch using using room temp coconut water! It had fermented within 14 hours but I let it go and “processed” at about 40 hours. It is probably a little tangier than I’d like but I’m ok with it. I added strawberry slices, as well as some mashed ones. As another reviewer indicated, I saved out 3/4 cup before adding fruit and put into ice cube trays (2 cubes in the one I have is a 1/4). I did not strain - it seemed mixed as to do or not and the directions did not say too. I’ve got a milk one to start as soon as it comes to room temp (I know it doesn’t have too but I’m doing based off some reviews and searching online). Fingers crossed but I’m def happy with first batch as well as the ability to freeze starters!

We tried it twice with whole lactose free milk and nothing happened at the end of the prescribed 18 hours. We were going to throw it out, but after 24 hours it thickened up and fermented. It tasted like kefir.

My first attempt did not work. The seller contacted me with some suggestions. The second attempt worked perfectly! The key for me was allowing more time, 28 hours in my case as it is winter and a horrible cold snap. So take your home temp into consideration. 5 Star for the seller reaching out and for the product.

I thought this product was kefir grains that I could rehydrate and feed like a sour dough starter. It’s not like that. The package says it is good for several batches of kefir. That’s true if you’re careful and save curds and pour milk over them. I spent a lot of time researching how to find the grains and trying to sift through the kefir and they were non existent. If you want the grains you can feed, grow and find floating on top of your kefir, search for live, not dehydrated grains. I found mine on Etsy and trying to nurture this stuff along until it gets here.

I was paying $5 for 32 oz of Kefir. I never thought about making it. It was easy. There was no learning curve for me. I let refrigerated milk sit in a 32 oz wide-mouth ball jar for an hour to get it to room temperature, added a packet, covered it with a coffee filter held in place with a rubber band, let it stand for 24 hours, and it was perfect. I've used 2% and 1% milk. I prefer 2%. I use up all but a1/4 cup (approx), and then fill it up with room temp milk and it makes another batch. I've lowered the fermentation time to 18 hrs. Of course, refrigerate it after it ferments. I don't filter it. I shake it up before pouring it for drinking. It's really been easy for me.

Great product and receive it in quick time . Thanks

This Kefir Starter Powder is an absolute disaster. Despite meticulously cleaning and sanitizing the vessel and strictly adhering to the recommended temperature and procedure guidelines, it failed to ferment at all. Adding insult to injury, after just a few days of fermenting, the mixture started to develop mold. It's not just disappointing; it's downright disgusting. To make matters worse, returning this worthless product isn't even an option. This isn't your traditional kefir grains; it's more like a starter power for frustration and moldy concoctions. Save yourself the hassle and find a reliable kefir solution elsewhere. This product is a complete and utter failure.

Amazing product and simple I bought this to ease my way into making kefir befor I bought the actual grains kit and this is a lovely easy to use kit and makes great kefir

The first batch failed. With the second, I microwaved the milk for 50 seconds. Ferment for 18 hours in a warm dark corner. Success!

Easy to follow instructions
