    This is the first fermentation of new commercial kefir grains received from Genuine LIVE Milk Kefir Grains. (Emoos)
    Genuine LIVE Milk Kefir Grains. The kefir was perfect and the grains increased in size and quantity. The received grains were added to one cup of milk and fermented for 26 hours at 22C in the dark.After removing the grains from a ferment, the residue is left to further age for 24 to 48 hours to improve the quality. Not necessary but apparently improves it.

    Kefir after 15 hours of fermentation, so decided to make two batches from the grains produced. Two 250 ml jars of milk were used and the grains split. The grains culture is very active.

    There are enough grains produced daily to make 500 ml of kefir. Half is used for consumption today and 250 ml is allowed to secondary ferment, age if you like. It appears 500 ml will be sufficient for my needs. Fermentation is 24 hours at room temperature 22C.
