Coolinario Kefir Starter Culture (10-Pack, 1.5g Sachets) Live Probiotic Cultures for Homemade Kefir | Smooth, Creamy & Tangy | Non-GMO, No Preservatives, Gluten Free

Lets see where to start. I almost decided this method was too time consuming (4 hours for milk to cool from 181 degrees back to 77 with constant stirring, refridgerating, and turning on the AC in the middle of winter) but my goodness, it made a delicious super creamy thick kefir. I have already subscribed and will maintain the subscription. After the milk cooled (1 gallon), I added 4 sachets and mixed them in really well and divided the milk into 3 cup jars, then wrapped them in cups towels and put them in my dollar general insulated cold bags and let them set for 36 hours. Yum... Worth every minute. Now that I know how long it takes for the milk to cool, I will schedule different activities and wont worry about the stirring and temping.

Just made first kefir batch starting with raw milk. Easy and turned out good.

This product, Coolinaro Kefir Starter Culture produces a very bland, tasteless Kefir that is not at all like you might purchase from a store or by using live Kefir grains. Two batches in, I threw the remaining packets away. I recommend you not buy this product and opt for live grains instead. Yes, it’s a little more work, yet it produces the correct tasting Kefir.

Works great and you get 10 packets. Great flavor and it’s easy to make

After a round of gastric distress, I decided it was time to build my gut biome as soon as possible. Along with fermented veggies, I wanted to use Kefir as part of the process. I had a choice between live grains that would not arrive within the time frame that I wanted and this product. I decided to give this thing a shot. After reading the description (these are single use sachet, you can’t make a new batch with this) I was good to go. I followed the directions, capped off a sterile mason jar, and put it in my microwave oven (DO NOT TURN ON THE MICROWAVE) that I use as a controlled temperature vessel. 24 hours later, I had Kefir, but it was thin and tasteless. This isn’t a terrible thing if you intend to flavor your Kefir. I ran another batch, but I let it sit for a couple of days instead of overnight, and noticed liquid gold in the form of whey beginning to form. A day later, my Kefir was good and sour, the way I like it. I will use one batch for cheese and future batches in smoothies. This is a good product IF you’ve read the description and don’t expect Kefir grain. This is a good product if you like to actively experiment with it and take your time to get it to your liking.

Makes thick, creamy and tasty 'kefir' (more like yoghurt). This is basically a yoghurt starter with some kefir-like bacteria and one kefir-adjacent yeast added. It does not behave like regular kefir and doesn't build grains. No straining needed and the product can be used to seed the next batch for a while, until the culture becomes unbalanced. The taste is more like yoghurt and not fizzy. I used organic UHT whole milk and followed the instructions precisely. The result is very thick and creamy, no separation.

I like the product. Will definitely order more when I am ready.

Took 3 packets to get kefir to work. First 2 did not activate. Very disappointing. Would not buy again.

Didn't think the powder was going to work but used less milk than suggested and eventually the kefir grains began to form. Really good product, too soon to feel health benefits. Easy to follow instructions. Nice fizz and pleasant taste

Ottimo come prodotto seguire le istruzioni. Kefir buono di sapore. Lo consiglio vivamente

Great product. Don't use cold milk otherwise you should wait one day more.

Impressionnant ! il ne se passe rien les 12 premières heures et d'un coup, ça épaissit. Texture de yaourt à boire épaisse et goût de yaourt nature. J'ai l'impression que ça m'a fait du bien aux intestins, je recommande !

Makes great kefir.
