Review: I love this, no mess, easy to use!!!!! - I have made yogurt for years, but never thought much about kefir, the stuff i had tasted terrible and was too sweet. I decided to retry kefir, , and make it fresh like yogurt. I wanted to start with culture before getting into grains. I only use one quart of yogurt every 2-3 weeks. shipping was prime fast. I had 1 quart of fresh goat milk, and 1/2 gallon of local cow milk, single grass fed herd, pasteurized. I made a small quart of goat yogurt, and a mixed quart of kefir. I warmed the milk in the quart jar, quart jar in pot with warm water for 30 mins ( warming it a bit helps the starter). I pitched both cultures at the same time, 6 pm. since I keep a very cool house, I snuggled the kefir next to the yogurt maker, and wrapped a dish towel around it. Perfect results on both at 6 am.( 12 hours later) Kefir tastes really good, better than the grocery store stuff. I am using a old yogurt trick, I put kefir in a ice cube tray, froze it and will use it to set the next batches. Just get the milk to room temp, then add the frozen cube, stir an hour later. I bet it will work just like yogurt starter. I tried kefri grains, from a friend, what a smelly stinky mess. I love this culture, gives me what I need with no fuss. My last batch was from a frozen cube, and I got a nice quart of kefir for baking. so the frozen cube trick works.
Review: Tasty and healthy! - Excellent product! I really enjoy making cottage cheese from the starter. The kefir is also very tasty; my family drinks it with pleasure. It's delicious and healthy, I 100% recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this powdered starter better than just buying water or milk kefir grains?**
A: It just depends on your needs! This powdered culture is best for beginners, because it's less of a commitment (limited re-culturing rather than infinite) and more versatile, as it makes any type of kefir. However, this kefir isn't as nutrient-dense.

**Q: How much kefir can I get from this starter?**
A: It's not an exact science, as it depends on culturing conditions. Generally speaking, each of the 4 included starter packets can culture a quart at a time, with the potential to culture 2–7 more times. Thus the total yield is between 1 and 8 gallons.

**Q: How do I "re-culture" with this starter, since there are no grains to strain out?**
A: The powdered culture will indeed dissolve with the first batch; however, you can simply reserve ¼ cup of the previous batch (per quart) and use that as starter for the next one. For best results, start next batch as soon as the previous is finished.

**Q: How do I know when it's done?**
A: When dairy milk kefir is finished culturing, it thickens into a similar consistency to heavy cream or drinkable yogurt. Water kefir will become cloudy and less sweet. Finished kefir stays good in fridge for 2–3 weeks.

**Q: Can I culture one kind of kefir with another (e.g., use water kefir to make juice kefir)?**
A: For this starter, cross-culturing is not recommended. With kefir grains, you can transfer grains to a similar medium (e.g., water to juice, or milk to coconut milk), but grains should be revitalized with their original substance every few batches.
