Good Gut Tribe - Organic Milk Kefir Grains (5g)

Loving this item, it’s very easy to start up and takes about two weeks like it says for the kefir to come out really well. We’ve been adding blueberries and doing the second fermentation like the website suggested and it’s been amazing! We love it and our kids love it too!

Good product and instructions. Was making kefir for the first time. In few weeks time was making reasonable amount of kefir for myself.

I was expecting mature well well-grown kefir grains instead; I received tiny kefir grains, which were very disappointing.It took a bit more than a week for the 5g grains to activate to make 50 ml of Kefir. Personally, I am disappointed as it is a very difficult process in separating the grains from the kefir itself. After more than a week, the Kefir grains are growing very slowly, and they can make 100 ml of kefir, which takes around 2.5 days.Update after a month: The grains have grown and it is almost two tablespoons. It makes 3 cups of Kefir in less than two days as the weather is quite warm. Patience is key!

They didn't activate although I followed the instructions on the company's website. There was literally only a couple of flat white things in the packet that didn't look anything like what was shown on the website either. I emailed the company but heard nothing back.

I haven't had any problem with these grains at all. This is my first time making Kefir and I used the following method after doing a little research. .I placed the grains in a mason jar with 250ml of organic cows milk.I left it for 48 hours at room temperature.I drained out the milk, put the grains into a fresh jar and repeated the 48 process again to make sure the grains were activated.The milk still didn't show signs of anything happening but the grains had grown much bigger, suggesting to me that they were activated, so I began the Kefir making process..Using a fresh mason jar I added 500ml of organic cows milk to the grains.I left it at room temperature for 24 hours at which point the milk had thickened to the consistency of single cream and all the grains had floated to the top. I could have perhaps left it another 24 hours but I was happy with the consistency so I drained the milk (Kefir) and refrigerated it until it was cold enough to drink. (This first batch wasn't awesome, but I could tell it was actual Kefir because it had the tangy/fizzy thing going on)I placed the Kefir grains back in the mason jar and repeated the process with 700ml of milk.I'm on day 8 and have repeated that process every day and have found that the taste has improved a lot since my first batch. It's also now a little thicker and I the 5g of grains are now 15g which is the amount I'm happy to keep using. As the grains continue to grow I'll mix the excess into my Kefir drink.I am only washing the jar once a week because I was told that this keeps the grains happy! :)Hope this helps!

I suppose it is what is says on the packet but I couldn't get along with it

Ease to prepare

Really pleased how this product worked as we are now enjoying Kefir
