If growing your grains so that you can give them away (or even eat them as some people do), your best bet is to find a fresh
source of water kefir grains.
Howdy... I have water kefir grains and a kombucha scoby... do I just use a tablespoon
of the water kefir grains in place of the whey starter?
I'm hesitant to buy more milk grains, and I like sharing better than buying, so if anyone is interested, I'll give you a nice big
clump of water kefir grains, ready to culture, for one healthy little «cauliflower».
Hi Lawrence - I realise you entered this query some time ago, but for others, you get
hold of some water kefir grains, either from friends or off the internet, these are added to a warm water and sugar mixture and then you add some dried fruit (sulphur free) I use dried apricots (the sulphur free ones are brown, the orange ones have had sulphur added) but there is other dried fruit like dates etc..
