Freshly Fermented - Organic & Vegan Certified Water Kefir Grains Starter Culture, 40g

Trust the process. I've made kefir water in the past and really impressed by this product. On arrival they dont look much, but followed the instructions and decanted after 2 days to have double the amount of beautiful clear chunky crystals. I tried organic golden sugar cane as my sweetner which the kefir seems to love.

When the kefir first arrived I added water and sugar and nothing happened so I contacted the seller who emailed me promptly and said I should wait, well I tried adding molasses and it absolutely loves it, they've been doubled in size every couple of days and then I make a batch with something sweet as molasses kefir isn't the greatest taste, it's just good to waken up the kefir.

I am an experienced water kefir maker but, the grains sent a couple years ago, and the grains sent a couple weeks ago were dead. This time I decided to see if they could rectify the issue. After a prolonged discussion and unnecessary repetitive back and forth, I was sent a replacement of live, working grains.

Ordered end of July 2023 and the Kefir grains arrived well packaged with clear instructions. I have to admit I was a little disappointed with amount of kefir supplied but the instructions explained that they will increase in quantity over time. It was not long before a teaspoon became a tablespoon and the photo attached was after 8 months producing 500ml of what I think is wonderful kefir twice a week.

I never managed to get these water kefir grains to work. I used to make milk kefir, no problem, but am now vegan and so decided to attempt to make the water version. I used all new equipment do as not to contaminate but they never seemed to ferment, not sure if I did something wrong, although I did follow the instruction to the letter. I would say not as easy as fermenting milk kefir... I was disappointed.

Took minimal effort produce regular batches of water kefir with steady growth of new grains. Couldn't fault the quality or freshness.

As I write, my water kefir is busy doing it's thing in the kitchen and seems to be coming along nicely. I ordered this via Amazon as oddly, on the company's own website it was out of stock but it still arrived with plenty of 'date' left on the grains so it was all good. I had a question regarding them and emailed Freshly Fermented direct with it - I got an amazingly comprehensive reply to answer my question and a few I didn't even know to ask yet! I'll certainly be using them for any other cultures I need; in fact, I've just ordered some Bulgarian yoghurt culture from them so that's my next project.

Great quality, they've quadrupled in size in the few weeks that I've had them. This one had a 47hr 2nd ferment with syrup made from rhubarb from my garden and vanilla. Tastes amazing but ill check it more frequently next time to avoid the mess.

I granì sono arrivati, un po’ in ritardo rispetto alla previsione, ma in ottimo stato. Li ho messi in frigorifero e dopo 24 ore li ho attivato, secondo le istruzioni che il produttore fornisce su internet. A oggi sto producendo il mio ottimo kefir d’acqua e i granì si sono già raddoppiati. Consiglio il prodotto assolutamente
