In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie! We're so glad your first batch turned out well! It sounds like the second batch might have fermented a bit too long and separated into curds and whey. You can usually mix it back together by gently shaking the jar!

I made kefir according to your instructions and it came out tasting great. Second batch got grainy and separated. How do I process this?

Great and inclusive roundup of all things kefir. Would have been a great place to start, but alas I had to dig through a whole bunch of other stuff, and, still learned things here.

I stumbled upon this article and it got me going. I got starters first and that is going now on the kitchen counter. I ordered grains and they are on the way. Really,anxious to get going. I do like labena and butter milk, cottage cheese and yogurt. This will add another layer

In reply to Naomi. Hi Naomi! Store-bought kefir doesn't come with the grains still in it. Unless you know someone who's already making kefir and is willing to part with some of their grains, you'll likely need to purchase some online. We linked in the post to where we got ours from, but there are lots of other online retailers you could check out. As long as they package them up properly, you should be able to reactivate them without issue!

So., if I buy kefir at the store, does it have grains in it that I could use for future batches?

In reply to Melody F. Hi Melody! All fermented products have a small amount of alcohol in them from the fermentation process, but this one has no more than any of your other typical home ferments!

Hi, I used to make kefir all the time as a young wife in the 70’s. It is just as good as the kefir you can purchase but much cheaper. I do have one question though. Is your recipe alcoholic? I know the commercial kind isn’t because I called them and they said it was against U S regulations to make it alcoholic. I am looking forward to making kefir again as I love buttermilk and this is cheaper. Thanks for the recipe!
