There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
A second packet of starter was added to the first batch, more milk was added to compensate for the 'taste test,' and the container was sealed once more. The second batch was successfully cultured in less than 24 hrs. It was bright white, almost yogurt consistency (a few more hours and I would have had a container of cheese), flavorful and produced a sparkling sensation on the tongue. A little more than a cup of this batch was remaindered and added to a new, clean, 2-quart container filled with milk. Hopefully the third batch will work as well as the second.
Tip: the first batch was 'agitated.' That is, I repeatedly rotated and shook the container to keep the solution 'mixed.' This may not be wise or necessary. The second batch was left alone, was not disturbed in any way, and worked beautifully.
Frankly, I can't be a slave to real kefir grains. It's like having another pet in the house - you gotta feed it, keep up with it, etc.. Just don't need more work in my life. So for me this is perfect, if I kill it or forget...open a new packet start over. No worries, no going...ugh, it's thursday..gotta mess with the grains.
