Coolinario Kefir Starter Culture (10-Pack, 1g Sachets) Live Probiotic Cultures for Homemade Kefir | Smooth, Creamy & Tangy | Non-GMO, No Preservatives, Gluten Free, Halal, Kosher

Love this product! Super easy and convenient to make, and tastes great!!

The price for half a quarter is $7 at the local store, and who knows what is in it. The price for 2 quarters with this is $5 for the milk and $2 for the kefir starter, so it is a quarter of the price, and very good quality. I love it.

I made my first batch of kefir using the Coolinario starter and followed all the instructions, but after 24 hours, it hadn’t thickened or separated at all. I started reading up on common troubleshooting tips and realized my house tends to stay on the cooler side. I checked the temperature of my kefir with an infrared thermometer, and it was only around 65°F—too cold for proper fermentation.To fix it, I wrapped the jar with my kombucha heating pad and let it ferment for another 12 hours, keeping the temperature around 72–75°F. That did the trick! It separated beautifully, had a nice tangy flavor, and the texture was exactly what I was hoping for.Note: I didn’t let it go beyond a total of 36 hours, since fermenting too long (especially over 48 hours) can cause over-separation, bitterness, and breakdown of the kefir structure. Plus, the beneficial bacteria and yeast start to shift, which can affect the flavor and health benefits.In the end, the batch turned out great—and now I know that temperature really is key when making kefir!

Made very good kefir overnight with 32 oz organic whole milk. No problems. Will blend with fresh blueberries.

Great starter culture. I have used this culture several times and always get a great Kefir in the end. Taste great and super healthy for your gut. Out of all the yogurt type stuff you can make this stuff is bar far the easiest to use. Great way to get your daily probiotics. I chose this product because of the price.

Took 2 days for the milk to turn into kefir but the kefir did have good flavorA bit weak?

These worked well. I was wondering why it didn't need to be refrigerated but we were able to make good kefir out of it, just follow instructions

I don’t know if I did something wrong. I followed the directions perfectly. It looks like everything went well, but the taste is absolutely horrible.
