Review: Trust the process. - 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.
Review: Easy peasy! RESEARCH HOW TO USE THEM - Brilliant company to deal with! I have bought a lot of things from FF and here's what you need to know. 1) go to their website or their YouTube channel to see how to use their products. Many reviews say they don't work but that is inaccurate in my opinion because of basic lack of awareness of how fermented starters need to be fed to be activated. 2) there are instructions sections for everything they sell on their website but if you find processing information visually easier than reading it then definitely look at their YouTube. They have a brilliantly funny man who does most of the videos and he is something you've got to see! 3) buy some books on fermenting. The Cultured Club, Asa Simonsson or River Cottage Handbook 18 is on fermentation but there is a wealth of information online. This isn't a hobby or health benefit you can just start without info, equipment and a good understanding of processes. 4) keep a fermenting diary so you can note down days you need to do stuff on like feeding grains, notes on performance etc. Many processes require you perform an action 48 hourly or 72/96 hourly and keeping a log is an easy way to remember. 5) troubleshooting is crucial. Just because something doesn't instantly respond it doesn't mean the product is faulty. You can't substitute ingredients easily with fermenting. Eg I love coconut sugar and do not like cane sugar and wherever possible I use a brown sugar substitute for reducing calories or if not, coconut sugar. You can't use coconut sugar or white sugar and expect results with this. Use what experts recommend/advise and then you have as few variables as possible which you can pinpoint as reasons your ferment isn't working as expected. Don't put your cultures near the coldest window in your house and expect appropriate temperature to be found. Use a heat mat if your house is cold. The coolest setting will be enough. You're encouraging bacteria to multiply and colonise and to do that they need ambient temperature. Research what your particular culture needs to do so. Conclusion - there are very few instances where your product is "dead". They need love and nurture. They're your new friends. Living beings. If you ate crap, couldn't move about enough and were stuck in a too cold or too hot environment you wouldn't thrive as nature intended. Nature intends these cultures are fed, looked after and cared for. Please don't blame the purchase or the company or leave a PRODUCT review about the delivery guy. These products work well. I have successfully got Kombucha and water kefir continuous production going as well as sourdough starter from Freshly Fermented. There are no product issues I have found. They're accessible for customer service and trouble shooting. Small business should be cherished in the UK. Especially when they're innovative and doing good things for the health of the nation. In my experience, lack of understanding of how fermenting works is the reason people write poor reviews. If you look up how to do it all and stick by it to the letter I promise it will work out fine for you! Enjoy your gut health goodies! ☺ 🤗

### ⭐⭐⭐ Didn't work for me
*by P***L on 7 January 2020*

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.
