03/08/2019, By LesleyAt last, living in the 'Bundu', we were able to order something not available anywhere near us, that actually works! Everything about Faithful to Nature, from ordering to delivery, which was super quick (!),was an amazing first time experience!25/07/2019, By GerhardThis is a great product and works like a charm. Only took 24 hours and we where in business. I use it to make fantastic beetroot (pink) smoothies for my daughter and she LOVES it. Fantastic! Just need to mention this kit did not come with a bottle but that`s fine, we always have plenty of those at home.12/06/2019, By AmeliaMy Kefir has grown so well and fast. It makes a lovely type of yogurt. I’m using it to restore my 4 year old’s gut inter flora.11/06/2019, By BasiGreat product. I had kefir grains and our helper took them with the kefir without noticing :-). It was a good thing that that happened, as it led me to discover F2N and your wide range of products.
I was pleased with how quickly the grains get to work and give me the kefir in no time. Keep it up guys.08/06/2019, By ElizabethI have been making kefir for four months now. My first kefir attempt resulted in batch after batch of sour milk. Starting with new grains I have been using organic milk and it works perfectly. The weather plays a role in how long it takes to ferment - average about 24 hours. The grains are slowly multiplying and have doubled in volume. Great as it is or as a base for any smoothy.29/03/2019, By MartGreat Product. Was very easy to hidrate the grain. Start using it on the first bach already. The grain also grows beautiful. Very creamy. I also use normal full cream mild as raw milk is difficult to get.22/03/2019, By DevanagieI have really congested skin and read that kefir is great for helping with that and after only a few days I have noticed awesome results. It was not difficult to get started at all. My first batch of drinkable kefir was quite thin however as the grains are growing the results are a thicker and creamier batch. I love doing a second fermentation with berries or dates. The best part is that I didn't have to go out and buy any special milk I just used the full cream milk that we already had at home!18/02/2019, By BridgetteI received my product yesterday, so I have not had time to make my kefir. I however, am a bit upset by the PLASTIC spoon and sieve received in the bottle with kefir grains. I am sure many of us have strainers in our houses and spoons. Maybe you can make it an "optional" choice to receive the plastic spoon and sieve? As I am sure we are all trying to cut down on the plastic waste.08/09/2018, By IngridI really love this product and am giving the probiotic to the Australian Shepherd SA Rescue Org dogs and we are all loving it.08/09/2018, By IngridI am successfully growing kefir grains and getting fantastic probiotics for the Australian Shepherd SA Rescue Org Dogs and us06/09/2018, By AstridIt is so much fun to go to the jar and see nice kefir waiting for you to enjoy it! I had no issues getting the culture started. I was even away for three weeks and the culture was happy to work again after being stored in the fridge in no special additional conditions. Now I'm moving to water kefir23/08/2018, By LeboI love this. Unlike other brands with almost powder-like grains, these are quite big. Thank you very much FtN.13/07/2018, By AstridEasy to use, I had no issues with the rehydration and quickly started to produce my own delicious drink. The cycle takes a bit longer since it’s winter and colder than optimal temperature for fast kefir production11/07/2018, By PatVery easy to use. Had useable results from second day. Instructions on jar very brief so worth doing extra research online if new to kefir.21/06/2018, By esmai was making kefir this grains. it was lovely and very delicious. however after 2 weeks my kefir did not fermented. i made new again and again but it is still not fermenting in 24 hours. when i sit for 48 hours it has too much sour taste and not like kefir. i think my grains are died. I do not know what to do. :(22/04/2018, By SharynI have been drinking for 4 days and it has helped alleviate a cough I have for months. The cough was caused by reflux and hiatus hernia and post nasal drip and gluten and other allergies.
On day one there was a marked improvement.
Stopped medication on day 3.
My gut is so improved it is unbelievable.17/04/2018, By KukzaJust completed my first batch and I love it! The fact that it is so easy to make, its a bonus!09/03/2018, By NickAfter 2 days of hydrating the grains I finally had some lovely kefir on day 308/03/2018, By SamanthaIt is not that easy to make Kefir. I am struggling. The weather plays a massive part in the process. And it really does not taste nice. I, however, do think it has amazing benefits and very healthy. So I will pinch my nose closed if I have to! I am lactose intolerant, and I am happy to say that the Kefir does break down the lactose.16/02/2018, By ClareEasy to make and was so thrilled as to how quickly the order came. the starter pack has everything to start making this healthy beverage.17/01/2018, By HealthmamaI love this kit! I have made several successful batches of kefir so far. The instructions are easy and with very little efford I enjoy a daily glass of milk kefir.08/01/2018, By KatrienThis is supercharged kefir. Followed the instructions and used pasture fed raw full fat milk to feed. Within three days I harvested more than the 250ml for smoothies as per the instructions. Four days later I had enough for 2 morning smoothies and some left to second ferment and harvest whey. And there is still only about a teaspoon of grains. Very impressed !30/10/2017, By MirandaEverything you need and comprehensive instructions included.
The kefir has rehydrated beautifully, and I'm looking forward to my daily smoothie!21/10/2017, By GillI am loving making my own milk kefir with this kit.
A couple of things that I have learnt along the way:
my grains took about a week to 10 days to become active, during this period I changed the milk every 24 hours. Once the milk has a "yeasty" smell you're on the right track. If at this point you find it's not thickening enough, then leave the kefir for a few extra hours to see if that helps - if not just keep going, it will eventually become active.
In my experience the quality of the milk DEFINITELY has an effect on the end product - I've had the best results with Woolworths full cream milk.
My kefir takes between 36 to 48 hours to get to the consistency that I like - I have found it's definitely not ready after 24 hours unless the weather is very warm.
Once you have strained your kefir, you should wash and dry the jar before replacing the grains and adding the milk for the next batch. I add milk that is about room temperature - I heat it in the microwave.
DON'T rinse the grains, it's not good for them - it's fine to toss the grains, covered in their milky coat directly into the clean and dried jar.
The weather has an effect on the speed at which the milk ferments, on cold days my kefir takes longer.
I give my jar of fermenting kefir a swirl a couple of times a day, to aid the fermentation process.
If for some reason your kefir isn't thickening as much as you like, try adding a couple of spoons of yesterdays kefir into the new batch and add a little less milk.28/08/2017, By PaulIt is well packed. Speedly delivery. Great product.11/08/2017, By TiffanyStrained my first batch of kefir last night . Great stuff! Thick and creamy .03/08/2017, By RietteAfter a slow start to get the Kefir activated I was surprised at the result and great taste. I cannot wait in the morning to harvest my glass of Kefir and start the process for the next round.
