Re: How long tdo Grains last in Fridge

WOW! You were daring to think you could get grains back that way. Good for you.

If this had been more timely, I would have tried it myself. But my disappearing

grains act happened last spring. I suppose you kept milk on them. But did you

change that milk at all? I understand that the milk should be changed once a

week-ish to be sure the grains get fed in the fridge. Did you do that?

How long tdo Grains last in Fridge

I don't post very much but I wanted to share my experience with refrigerated

grains.

I kept my grains in the fridge for almost a year.

When I went back in to make more Kefir, they were gone. Dissolved away.

In a last ditch effort I added a quart of organic whole milk to my cup of VERY

fermented kefir (no grains mind you)

A day later I had 3 Tablespoons of fat healthy grains. Like magic!

I'm leaving home for a month and wondering how I can keep my

kefir babies alive. Maybe I'll just leave them in some milk in the

refrigerator and see what happens. I hate to kill them because they are so

beautiful and healthy! Patty H.

I have left grains in milk in Texas fridge for 5+ month and they recovered

nicely.  I will have left them (I live in WA) now for almost a year--we will

see how well they hibernated next week as I am flying south next week.

Also, I put grains in my checked baggage in a stainless steel water bottle with

a tag--Kefir (yoghurt) grains in here.  They get through security each time.

Thanks . I now have hope. I would take them with me but we are

driving and I can't keep them cold enough! Patty

Teresita:

WOW! You were daring to think you could get grains back that way. Good for you.

If this had been more timely, I would have tried it myself. But my disappearing

grains act happened last spring. By what you say, you kept milk on them. But did

you change that milk at all? It is my understanding that the milk should be

changed once a week-ish to be sure the grains get fed in the fridge. Did you do

that or anything similar to that?

Are your grains still there today?
