Review: Grains did not activate - EDIT: Changing review to 5 stars because Cultures for Health offered a refund and some value suggestions moving forward. Really bummed these water kefir grains didn't work. I know Cultures for Health is a great company but I'm disappointed that these grains did not activate. I followed the instructions exactly as written and was even in contact with their customer support for a little additional information I needed. Unfortunately after answering my questions I didn't get a response back when I sent them pictures of the grains after the 3 days initial activation. The grains are mushy and not alive at all, there is absolutely no fermentation going on with the first fermentation. I should have bought the grains directly from Cultures of Health since they offer a 60 day guarantee. Lesson learned. I was going to leave 1 star because the grains didn't activate but decided on 2 Stars because they originally had quick communication.
Review: Do not buy, grains did not activate. - I should start this out by saying I’m not new to active cultured foods. I currently maintain several starters such as sourdough, kombucha, milk kefir, sour cream and lots of fermented veggies. So I’m aware that good quality dechlorinated water and the right kind of sugar are important. However, this was my first try at water kefir. I chose this brand because they seem to have a good reputation, I’ve purchased a sour cream starter culture from them in the past. I was pretty shocked though at the price of the water kefir starter, but I figured as long as I only have to buy it once, it’s worth it. I received the culture, made sure it came to room temp, and followed the detailed instructions on the packet, as well as the companies tutorial video to get started. By day 3, the kefir grains had somewhat rehydrated, though they didn’t look like plump translucent grains that I’ve seen before. They’re just brown mushy grains that have clearly disintegrated. I strained them anyway and put them in fresh sugar water to find that they’re fully disintegrated. What a mess. I’ve contacted the company to see if they’d help me troubleshoot, but so far I’ve heard nothing. I occasionally sell some of my starter cultures to people locally, and would never just leave them to figure it out in their own, and I charge a small fraction of this price. So I’ll be extremely irritated if Cultures for Health ghosts me on such a ridiculously priced product. I’ll be sure to update my review if I ever hear back.

## Features

- HEIRLOOM STYLE: These kefir starter grains can be used to continuously re-culture more kefir for as long as you want, offering an essentially limitless supply from just one purchase.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: Water kefir is full of enzymes and probiotics for digestive health — many more probiotics than even yogurt or buttermilk! It's also a great dairy-free alternative to milk kefir.
- VERSATILE: Kefir can be consumed plain, flavored in a second fermentation, used in place of whey for lacto-fermenting vegetables, or used as an ingredient to make healthy snacks.
- QUICK AND EASY: This low maintenance culture yields a quart of kefir every day! All you have to do is let grains sit in sugar water for 24-48 hours at room temperature.
- STRESS FREE: Our kefir grains arrive in a dehydrated state, giving them a longer shelf life as opposed to live kefir grains, which would need to be cultured right away. This way you can culture whenever you're ready, or even give them as a gift.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will it take to rehydrate my kefir grains?**
A: 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.

**Q: How much kefir can I get from this starter?**
A: 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.

**Q: How do I know when the kefir is done culturing and ready to drink?**
A: 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.

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

**Q: Can I make other types of kefir with these grains?**
A: 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).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to make a nutritious drink!
*by S***. on March 12, 2019*

I have so far purchased three packets of water kefir grains over the past year. The second one was a replacement for the first getting contaminated with fig seeds and the third was to increase my production capacity. The grains as received are dehydrated and usually appear very dark brown. But, after following the rehydrating procedure, they flesh out and become pearlescent and translucent. Each batch fills two liter Weck juice jars which can be found here https://smile.amazon.com/Weck-Juice-Jars-35-9-Ounce/dp/B00DHNSKAO My go-to recipe consists of adding the following to a gallon glass jar: 1/3 C of raw, unrefined sugar dissolved in 2 C of boiling filtered water; 6 C of cool, filtered water to bring the overall temperature to ~80°F; a dozen drops of Concentrace; 1 packet of rehydrated water kefir grains; and 1 fresh lemon, cut in half, NOT squeezed The top of the gallon jar is covered with a coffee filter secured with a rubber band. It is then placed on top of the fridge to keep warm. In the winter, my apartment is frigid and I haven't had difficulty maintaining kefir fermentation while on top of the fridge. The batch is then allowed to ferment up to 3 days. Over this time you'll see the water start clear and become cloudy as the kefir grains metabolize the sugar. Once the first ferment has progressed as far as I like, I proceed to the second ferment. I add 2 T of raw, unrefined sugar to a pitcher large enough for the 8 cups of liquid. I then remove the lemon halves and squeeze the juice into the pitcher, through a strainer. After cleaning the lemon guts out of the strainer, I pour the liquid into the pitcher through the strainer to catch the grains. After stirring to make sure the sugar has dissolved, I pour the batch into the carafes, cap them and place them on top of the fridge for a couple days for the second ferment. At this point, you can place the carafes in the fridge or simply leave them out on the counter. The nice thing with the Weck jars is that while they seal, I've found that the seals aren't _that_ good, meaning you're not going to have an explosion from an overactive ferment! As I watch the second ferment, I see a steady stream of bubbles rising through the liquid, so I know activity is high. Lately though, if I put the carafes in the fridge for a day or two, when I drink them, they have been totally flat! It doesn't make sense. However, if I leave them at room temperature and then pour the kefir over ice, the drink is nicely carbonated and cool. Of course, this isn't the only way to make water kefir and you can use whatever flavorings you like. These grains are an easy start to making a healthy drink that will add more probiotics to your diet! Highly recommended!!
