Questions on Milk Kefir Starter Culture

- From Emily at 7/16/12 5:39 AM
- When making kefir with raw milk, is it necessary to make a pure mother culture with pasteurized milk (as is necessary with the piima culture)?
- No, a mother culture isn't necessary with milk kefir grains. Just strain your kefir and put the grains in fresh milk for your next batch.

- What is the difference between the Kefir Starter (made out of powder) vs. the Milk Kefir Grains product? They seem to do the same thing but there is a significant price difference.
- We have a great article that discusses the differences and similarities:

- Easy Culture! Review by Yurek
-
It was the first time that I have cultured kefir (or anything for that matter). I found the instructions very well researched and easy to read. I have been using the culture now for a few months with regular, pasteurized, 2% cows milk and it is still going strong. I didn't know how much I would like Kefir until buying this culture!

Over the past month or so, I have been enjoying the Kefir that I have been making using RAW cow AND goat milk from a local dairy.Price Value Quality
I heard that it may not culture as well using raw milk. Honestly, now I can say that it worked well for me and I have never had better tasting Kefir!
Thank you Cultures For Health! :o)
