POSEYMOM Milk Kefir Grains | DIY Fermented Priobiotic Health Drink Starter Culture | 1 Heaping Teaspoon Fresh, Live Grains | Full & Easy Online Instructions | Makes One Cup Beverage

I'm very pleased with the grains I received. They shipped within a day, but then got held up at a USPS facility in Dallas for 5 days. They arrived 9 days after I ordered, but I immediately put them in milk. As I expected, the first cup didn't ferment much after 24 hours, but the next batch fermented (1 cup) very well in 24 hrs. The next 1 cup batch was done in 12 hours and it's continued daily since then.The grains themselves were really nice size and had a good texture. I had ordered grains from another vendor on Amazon and they never got bigger than cottage cheese, and I suspect they were not real kefir grains at all but maybe something started from a culture.Very good value for the price!

I have tried many different milk kefir grains just to see different quality and what would work best for me. I have ordered the Organic kefir grains from another company and they were ok and they did start to revive after 4-5 days, but POSEYMOM Milk Kefir grains started to divide the milk within 30 min! I placed one cup of goat milk I order from Amazon into my clean jar and then I added the POSEYMOM Milk Kefir grains into the milk along with the starter milk that she sends her grains in. The aroma of the kefir grains was so nice, pleasant, and exactly what I expect from milk kefir. I was amazed that the grains started dividing my milk within 30 minutes. I have never seen kefir grains do that before. I had to add more milk and then within another 30 minutes it divided again as you can see in the picture. I even took a picture of the top of the milk-you can see bubbles and strong activity on top in this 30 minute period. I added another cup of milk and after an hour it divided. So, I then added more milk. Normally, I only add 8oz of milk to new grains and allow them to re-activate which can take 24-48 hrs. I am blessed to have found the most active grains I have ever used! This is extremely easy to use. It is fresh, excellent quality, the packaging is thoughtfully put together, and it looks and smells amazing. I have never felt better about investing my money in a product - with such strong grains the value for the money made this an amazing purchase. With the long term health benefits that kefir offers and having grains that are such superior quality I am so grateful I ran across this product. To top it all off, the seller POSEYMOM was fast responding to me when I reached out. She truly cares about people and about her product and I just had to tell her thank you. I highly recommend this purchase and I WILL order from POSEYMOM in the future to give as gifts to friends that want to make their own milk kefir. I used several items from Amazon in these photos and I will post those reviews on those other products as they all work really good together. The organic powdered goat milk, the kefir/kombucha heat pad, stick on thermometer strips, and most of all the POSEYMOM Milk Kefir grains. WIthout excellent grains there would be no final healthy milk kefir product. These grains have been loved and cared for so that I can offer healthy kefir to those I love and care for.

I was quite impressed with how well these grains did on the first fermentation! I had fresh, drinkable kefir in under 1 day.The grains were extremely well packaged and visual inspection suggested they were quite healthy. It was simple as adding them to a jar of milk and putting it in a warmer area of my house for a day. The next day I had a creamy, delicious kefir. No need to revive the grains or throw out any milk! By batch 2, I was able to make a quart.So impressed with the product I just bought some of the water kefir grains to try out.

I tried this just to try another kefir flavor/brand. It's really awful. As others have noted, it jerks from being underdone/underfermented to being separated into curds and whey. The liquid is sour and the curds are even more sour, about as pungent as some kind of bad blue cheese. After carefully managing the culture for a couple of months, trying it alongside another strain of kefir grains sold on Amazon (seller is Fusion Teas), I just couldn't get a good product out of it. When the kefir didn't bolt and immediately separate into curds and whey, it was still thin and sour. It has a strange methane/barnyard taste, that doesn't change no matter what milk I use. Fusion Teas' kefir, on the other hand, never tastes that way.On occasions when I mixed the two kinds of kefir because I was had a half liter of Poseymom's kefir and a half liter of Fusion Tea's kefir, the Poseymom kefir destroyed the Fusion Tea kefir. The kefir made with Fusion Teas grains is always creamy, thick and mild and rich tasting. But when I added the kefir made with Poseymom's grains to it, it quickly turned very thin, sour and nasty. It appears that there is some bacteria in the Poseymom's grains that digest the polysaccharide fiber that makes kefir thick and creamy, and that's probably the same bacteria that's creating the methane/cow manure flavor that the Poseymom kefir has.I hate to murder a SCOBY but I'm going to trash the Poseymom kefir grains before they contaminate and wreck the Fusion Teas grains. I can't even give them away because people I'd give them to would probably think I'm crazy for drinking that stuff.

Came quickly and my milk kefir is strong and delicious starting with the very first batch!

Just want to say that this was my 2nd attempt. 1st batch of grains was from another vendor, and probably due to errors on my part, I was drinking soured milk thinking it was Kefir. Poseymom's grains have been extremely productive, happily eating the lactose and leaving delicious Kefir. So if you don't have initial success learn from your first batch and try again. This vendor's grains have worked out very well, stay tuned for another review when I venture into Water Kefir.

It’s been a month since I ordered the kefir grains. I received a generous tablespoon. I have been using fresh organic raw milk. I have a quarter cup of grains now! Very vigorous growth. These are the very best that I’ve ever had. I highly recommend them 💕
