How to save some grains just in case... Plus another question.

[Guest guest]

I killed my grains and a couple of people I gave them to had let theirs go. I

finally was able to get some from my dil, but now I would like to know how I

could store some in case it happens again.

Also, hers had the gooey strands which mine had at one time, but then it went

away. What is that from and what should be done about it?

Another thing strange is the 1st batch I made the milk soured. I rinsed the

grains and put them in new milk. I can't figure out why that happened.

Thanks for any help.
