Your Kefir can be recultured from 2 to 7 times. The number depends on the freshness of your Kefir and how you prepared the first batch.
Reculture within 7 days. The longer you wait, the less successful your reculture will be.

How do I know if the Kefir is done culturing?
- Dairy Milk: When the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream.
- Coconut Milk: When the milk has a sour, less sweet aroma. *Note: Cultured coconut milk doesn't thicken like dairy milk.
- Coconut Water or Juice: When the water or juice becomes cloudy and less sweet.

Overall Excellent product
Review by Julie / (Posted on 31/08/2017)Simple and straightforward instructions with the starter kit producing lovely kefir.Overall Delicious product
Review by Ma / (Posted on 21/07/2017)The reason I only gave 3 stars is because one of the packets was open when it arrived, so it took ages to dissolve the powder. The kefir is delicious - however I've made it twice now (3rd time on the way) and both times I've had to push the end product through a sieve as it's been lumpy throughout. Once sieved, no problem, but I've never had to do this before with other kefirs I've made.
