Frequently Asked Questions

What is the kefir grain to milk ratio?

A dependable starting point for milk kefir is about 1 tablespoon of grains per cup of milk, then adjust toward gentler or tarter batches by changing the grain load or ferment time.

Why is my kefir too sour?

Too many grains, too little liquid, warm rooms, or long ferments can all push kefir from pleasantly tangy to harsh fast. The fix is usually less grain or more liquid before it is a different culture problem.

Can I use the same grains for milk kefir and water kefir?

No. Milk kefir grains and water kefir grains are different cultures with different food sources, so each needs its own ratio and care routine.
