Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Everyone, I'm getting some new grains tomorrow and I'm determined to be a better " parent " this time (I've previously killed two batches of kefir grains). Part of the problem was that I really didn't have correction information on how to take care of them so I'm super grateful to have found Marilyn's website. Thanks!!! I'm getting about 2 tablespoons of grains. They will have traveled about 4-5 hours in a refrigerated truck (I don't know if they have been refrigerated though). How much milk should I use for the first batch? In the past, I would just do the standard recipe of 1 quart, but it seems from the info on Marilyn's website that I should do one or perhaps two cups of milk and then increase from there until I reach a quart. How much milk should they be stored in and how much milk should I feed them per day? Also, am I dumping out the old milk or just adding more? Also from what I gathered, when I am not making kefir I should store on the counter (room temperature) and only use the refrigerator if I am on vacation or away for about 2 weeks. Thanks for patience with my novice questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
