Guest guest Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Moni Hmmm. Sounds like just what has happened to mine. I was keeping semi-big but weak grains as an experiment in a babyfood jar and that turned out to be a good move. They grew to be my healthiest, happiest grains. My other grains in my daily kefir jar were small and no kefiran. I combined the two sets of grains into a 4 oz jelly jar with milk for 10 days and now they are all like the non-kefiran grains again. :-( There are no big ones anymore. So I am just trying them all in a little more milk now. I put them into a larger jar where they are spread out more and covered them 'just so' with milk. I guess I am learning just like you.

They reactivated fine and are multiplying nicely but with no obvious kefiran. Then I tried to re-innoculate them with grains that were fully " kefiraned " wonderfully slimy and gooey. It seemed ok but not really adhering to the pre-frozen grains as well as I would have liked. I then decided to combine them all into one group to see if the kefiran would grow. The opposite has happened. The good and slimy grains have now become not slimy and much more like the pre-frozen grains. They all have good growth but they are now not slimy and break apart much easier.Much more like water kefir but still clumpier. I think I goofed. I think I may need to get some new grains and feed the other to the animals or dry it and use it like feta. As an aside, I still have a kefir. Tastes fine. Just no obvious kefiran. Any thoughts?
