Kefir seems to help but you could check out with your doctor first.

Yeah but I was letting it sit for more than a day cause it wasn't sour enough for my taste. Maybe a bit too long.

I should try with less milk so that I can change make it every 12 hours or so.

Hi TinyPumpkin,

i'm interested! just PM you

thanks!

Happy New Year!

About a year ago, I had these little babies sitting in my refrigerator. But I left them alone for 3 months or more, which, as a result, they had became harden and turned into dark yellowish. I wonder is it okay for me to culture them back to health at this stage?

And does it have to be cultured in a dark bottle jar with cover as a seal?

Culturing for more than 24 hours will produce a more sour kefir but it should not hinder the growth of your babies. Best to go on a 24-hour cycle.

Thank you for your interest. Replied through PM.

I'm not sure if they are still alive.

Try rinsing with some milk then culture for 12 hours. Strain and throw away the kefir; then culture with fresh milk again. Repeat this procedure for a couple more times and see if you could get the babies activated.

You don't need to culture in a dark bottle, just place it away from sunlight. I prefer using a hanky secured with a rubber band to prevent tiny insects from crawling in.

Good luck!

Hope your babies survived?

Nah...I threw it away long ago. I'm thinking to purchase kefir grains from you, but there're questions.

How are you going to pack and deliver it to me? Put it into a plastic box and send for delivery? And are those grains able to survive during delivery process?

I have been sending my babies as far as Sabah and Sarawak without any problems. One mother had the grains spent the weekend at her office while she was nursing a sick infant at home and the grains survived! Don't worry these little critters are really tough.

Your babies are really tough!

One more question, is it okay to culture it in a glass with a sealed cover? I'm not sure if it will affect its growth or not cuz there is no oxygen supply @@

It is not advisable to culture it in a glass with a sealed cover because the gas built up may cause the cover to fly off! A hanky secured with a rubber band would be more appropriate.

Hi tiny!

Thanks for the grains ...oh yeah they are very healthy and active! They really do multiply!

My first batch did not seperate into curd and whey after 24 hrs but rather, a thick and creamy yogurt-like drink . nevertheless, I enjoy drinking it . I couldnt bring myself to throw them off gonna whip them with avacado for tomorrow's breakfast.

Starting a second batch already

Thank you so much miss tiny

Okay, I would like to purchase the grains from you.

Good to know you succeeded.

Give it a few stirs at the 12th hour to re-distribute the grains.
