How long will it take to rehydrate my kefir grains?

Rehydrating kefir grains can take between 3 and 7 days. During this time a layer of froth or foam may form on the surface. This is normal and caused by an overgrowth of yeast. You'll know they're done when they appear plump and translucent.

How much kefir can I get from this starter?

As much as you want! This is an heirloom starter, so you can reuse the grains over and over to make endless batches of water kefir. You'll start with about a quart per day, but as your grains multiply, we recommend 1–2 tsp grains per quart of liquid.

How do I know when the kefir is done culturing and ready to drink?

Your water kefir will be cloudy, and should begin bubbling when moved. It will also have a sour taste, signaling the grains have processed the sugar. Simply strain the grains and move them to a new jar of sugar water! Note: Do not rinse grains.

I need to pause making water kefir, but don't want to kill my grains. Can I take a break?

Yes! As long as your grains have been actively culturing for 3–4 weeks. For shorter breaks, store grains in 1 qt sugar water (as if culturing) in fridge up to 3 weeks. For longer breaks, dry them and store in airtight bag in fridge up to 6 months.

Can I make other types of kefir with these grains?

You can't make milk kefir, but you can make kefir with juice or coconut water; for best results, keep a separate set of grains for each substance you're culturing. You can also add flavor to finished water kefir (with or without a 2nd fermentation).
