FOOD SAFETY MATTERS
Milk kefir testing example; not a test of this kit.
A MOM’S REASON. OUR STANDARD SINCE 2002.
Cultures for Health was founded in 2002 by a single mom who wanted to feed her children the best food she could.
That care still shapes what we make. Food-safety testing is a meaningful investment, and one we keep making for the families who bring our cultures home.

A LITTLE PATIENCE. A LOT TO EXPLORE.
The dehydrated SCOBY needs a full 30 days to activate before regular brewing. The guide covers temperatures, pH and your first batches.
Gather your supplies, steep the tea and cool completely. Add distilled white vinegar and the dehydrated SCOBY as the guide directs.
Cover and culture for 30 days, following the temperature and pH checks in the guide.
Follow the first-brew ratios, start small and scale up gradually. Reuse your SCOBY for the next batch, following the guide. Supply your own brewing jar.
