I have such an over abundance of kefir grains that I've been giving them away to neighbors and even feeding them to my dog (yes its safe to do that and its good for your four-legged friends too). The quick transit time probably was a big factor in why these grains arrived in such great shape and went right to work. First of all, it's not a balloon like the kind you blow up at parties, it looks more like a black sausage casing tied off at both ends, that's the best way i can describe it. So embrace the water kefir balloon packaging people and stop leaving this seller negative reviews because ot it!! In addition to the balloon, the grains are further protected from harm during transit because the seller then puts the balloon in a plastic food storage container and then puts the storage container in two thick zip baggies, further ensuring that no explosion takes place. Without writing an entire novel about it, let me just say that I should have listened to the warnings made by people on the interwebs about the awful performance and inevitable death of water kefir grains that have previously been dehydrated. Obviously storing live water kefir grains in an Amazon warehouse is impossible, so this seller did the next best thing by offering free FAST shipping. I will agree with one negative point a reviewer made: This seller's PDF of water kefir info is God-awful in terms of spelling, grammar, and organization of information."
"As the neighbor didn't get home until late, and they didn't know what was IN the package, the grains sat on their counter until the morning of the 23rd. I can't see how this package could burst or leak, unless someone deliberately threw it on the ground and/or stomped on it. I poured everything into a quart jar, DID NOT RINSE, filled with water from my Berkey, added in 1/4th cup of raw, organic cane sugar and about 1T of molasses. The molasses fed them well, and the kefir was drinkable however, I tossed it and started a fresh batch. My second batch, I made a quart with all the grains, 2T raw cane sugar and 1t of molasses instead of 1T. One last quart, 2nd fermented with apple pieces and 1T extra raw cane sugar, which was done specifically for my 6 y/o, just went into the fridge today. As shown in my photo, taken last night ( 10 March 2016), I am currently the proud owner of over 2 CUPS of plump, chunky kefir grains! As stated by another poster, when your little guys stop kicking and, trust me, you WILL know, put them in fresh water with a bit of baking soda. Do a double solution, cap and let them REST in the fridge for a week or two, to give them time to *sleep*."
"I had a couple of questions that I e-mailed after getting the grains, and got a very quick and informative response."

"Tried purchasing grains ( 3 x) from another source that would work for a week, then stop and I'd be left with soured milk."
"Fast forward a few years, and I was pleased to find kefir readily available on Amazon! My kefir grains were packed into a small sturdy plastic cosmetic jar, so they were in no danger of being squished, of drying out during shipment, or of the package leaking. Some surprise extra supplies were included in my package (plastic lid for a Ball jar, a plastic spoon, and two muslin spice bags), as well as instructions on scented paper sealed (actually sealed with a wax stamp like a letter from 1759) in a recycled paper envelope, both of which I found to be excellent personal touches. It was five batches of 24-hour ferments (five days, in other words) before it tasted "right", so some recovery time was obviously needed after shipment."
"My husband and I enjoyed the Kefir. I will order from Mr. and Mrs. Kefir again."
"I have purchased kefir grains before from other dealers on Amazon."
"Wow is all I can say about this product, I was elated to see that these grains shipped from a Michigan seller and arrived to my door in just 3 days."
"When I keep it in the fridge to long (in milk) it's really only good for a few days before you need to change out the milk if you aren't going to use it."
"I did one batch of milk to wake them, they processed milk in a little over 48 hours initially out of package."

Find Best Price at Amazon"If you are using a yogurt maker 5-6 hours of incubation should be adequate (for those starting from this culture) if you do not have a yogurt maker then cover it with blankets ( a few sets) or various cloths to keep the internal heat (traditional technique I had used for many years before buying a yogurt maker) This time the incubation time depends on the external temperature, how you cover it and the volume of your milk. But around the same time should be fine. Traditionally people in my home country use pre-made yogurt as a starter culture and they even borrow culture from neighbors when they need to change it. A store bought yogurt could be a replacement for using a starter culture sachet like this one but in the long run, this comes cheaper than buying yogurt from the grocery every once in a while and is more convenient since it can be stored for a long time at a cool-dry place with no need for refrigeration. For example, using yogurt maker, I incubate the yogurt made from a previous yogurt for 4 hours to get the desired thickness. I hope this tips help the other home yogurt makers save some money, remember: yogurt has been made for thousands of years and using starter culture is only a thing of the last few decades..."
"We started making our own yogurt because I have ulcerative colitis, and we follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Many people take probiotics, but they don't realize that there's no healthier way to replenish the good bacteria in your intestines than yogurt. When we tell people that we make our own yogurt, they act like we're living in the cavemen days, but the truth is that it's a simple and easy process. I'm hoping that eventually my intestines will absorb enough probiotics to continuously recreate them, but in the meantime, I don't mind eating this yogurt every day."
"I don't know how many times I could make yogurt from a previous batch because I run out of energy to keep it going before the start stops working. I put a small amount of freshly made yogurt in a clean, small glass jar with a lid to keep it from contamination and save it in the frig until ready to make a new batch later."
"Have ordered this many times and always made delish yougurt."
"So easy to make your own yogurt with this starter."
"The yogurt texture is so smooth and it melt right in the mouth."
"I've used a Yogourmet Yogurt Maker for years with just a container of yogurt as a starter and have had great success."

I can justify the price because this seems to be no-fail and I don't throw any "failures" out as I often do with my other yogurt maker with the small containers."
"I use the Greek yogurt atop oatmeal, with fruit, or with honey and nuts."
"This is the flavor of easiyo I buy most often, generally in a larger quantity than I did this time. I can top it with something sweet such as honey or maple syrup or, use it in a savory recipe."
"Excellent product!"
"Truly the best Greek yougart we have ever eaten."
"I originally signed up to receive deliveries of the whole milk yogurt packets."
"Best tasting yogurt ever!"

"Add milk (I use about 5 cups to make enough yogurt for 5 breakfasts), and use the Yogurt-More setting to boil it in the instant pot. Once it has cooled, add about 1/2 cup of the milk to the glass measuring cup, and stir in the yogurt starter or plain yogurt with a silicone spatula."
