YouTube needs more videos like this. Being able to work these things into everyday life is what we're trying to learn after all, thank you.

My kefir was stored for more than 6 months in the fridge. I just started reviving it several weeks ago. I used the small jar like you are using and capped it. It kept going from tasting like warm milk to separating and not tasting like it should. After 5 days of trying to revive it (switching out the milk each day) I watched a video that said to use a coffee filter instead of a lid. The next day I had kefir and it tasted great. I've been able to get yummy tasting kefir every day since. So if you are putting a lid on it and it's not working than try the coffee filter with a rubberband around it.

Used 1 year plus old refrigerator kefir … opened and it still smelled like kefir … think preserved… anyway, started a new batch with old kefir, and it works just fine just took a couple of extra days for the first batch to get going. I was feeling very worried about it and that’s why I looked for videos like this. Thank you so much it’s nice to know. People are sharing this kind of information.

For a yummy fruity treat, add a packet of TRUE LEMON fruit powders!
They are sugar free (no sucrolose or malto dextrose) and made with clean simple ingredients and ONLY REAL FRUIT. About 3 ingredients! They have many fruit flavors mixed with lemon powder and it all enhances this fermented flavor. It’s gooood! You and family will love it!

I left my in the freezer for 2 years I’m hopeful they’ll come back alive after watching your video….I will follow your steps. I got sick did a lot of days of antibiotics and my stomach took a toll and Kifer is the best for my gut thanks for your video.

WOW! I learned a bunch of stuff here. I do my kefir differently, but it's always good, so the grains are hearty little rascals. I make a half gallon at a time, even though it's just for me. After sharing my excess grains four or five times, I wasn't finding any takers, so I like to make a lot and then store my grains in the fridge for a few weeks so they don't grow as fast. After straining, I sometimes pour a little purified water over the grains right into the kefir jar. I give them an extra good rinse when sharing grains with someone who doesn't go for raw milk. I never tried freezing them, but it is so good to know that is an option. I had no idea kefir could be kept that long. What an amazing product! Since starting kefir, over time I kept noticing more health benefits. I've got to try the frozen fruit smoothie idea. Thank you, thank you for this video.

I have never heard of that before. this old country boy just learned something new. have a great and safe day.

[ashleafreeman]

I know nothing about keifer other than its healthy and know I want to make some. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!

Interesting. I have watched about 30 videos about kefir and been making some for a month experimenting here in the Philippines. Each person has a little different info but it is all part of the learning process. Thanks.

I’m so glad I ran into your channel. My grains are well over two years old. I pulled them out of the fridge today and I did rinse mine, but that was before I saw your video. I will check then in 24hours. I’ll let you know what happens.
Thanks for your detailed instructions.

Love it❤️👍
I just revived mine that I had in fridge for about 8 months funnily enough
I did the same process and my kefir has been perfect from first batch.It just took a little slower to be ready the first batch👍

[crazyone]

I love your honest down to earth way of explaining!! Cheers

[marianglover]

Andrea thank you for sharing this great information of how to look after our milk kefir grains and all the health benefits that we will get from our everyday needs. I live in Australia and I find that they produce more grains in every second or third day that I strain them maybe they multiply more in a hot climate. I have introduced and given more milk kefir grains to families and friends. After watching your video, now I feel brave enough to freeze some of the excess grains that I have and give more to families and friends that are willing to try.

[Stephanie_Cumbie]

This is so easy and plain to understand! Thank you! I had mine in the fridge for a week because School started, and I needed info in reviving them. This makes me so happy. You answered questions as I had them in my head which means your thought process was normal and routine as you spoke. Thank you!

[bdmenne]

Just the vid I was looking for. Experimental and relaxed attitude.

[pinkyfromhaughtfarms]

Great information Andrea! I have zero experience with kefir, so this is definitely welcome knowledge👍 I just started buying raw milk from an amish neighbor so am trying to learn as much as possible as to what all I can do with it. I've started experimenting with paneer cheeses and clabber. Would love to see more videos along these lines. Thanks again for sharing!💛

[sharonglaszcz]

you gave the best explanation on Kefir I've seen.... and I've seen many. Thank you

[Oilfieldscout]

I was told to use 2% milk to kick or re-kick the kefir. Do 2 or 3 batches then go full fat. Works great.

[shahirahabib]

I just received some grains and they came in the mail .. I was so worried they spoiled because of the heat but they worked so fast I couldn’t keep up😄I guess they were hungry . Thank you Andrea for the wonderful video and info ♥️ now I know what to do 🌹🌸🌹

[GilgalFarmstead]

Oh I’ve been considering doing kefir! Love this video! I do kombucha, sour kraut, kimchi and sour dough. I’ve neglected all of them before and you’re right, they always pick right back up.
