My gut is finally happy !

Honestly, I was a bit nervous about "growing" things in my kitchen, but the milk kefir grains from The Fermentation Station are basically foolproof.

If you’re tired of spending $6 to $8 on a crappy bottle of kefir that’s mostly sugar and preservatives, just get these and don’t look back !

Instant success. Producing too much keffir now so I will have to put the seeds to sleep.

Such a convenient way of making my daily kefir. Love it. The only criticism is that it's impossible to stop the rotating, clear lid from closing completely, thus it doesn't allow your ferment to breathe. I put something under the lid to stop it from fully closing.

Making Jun was easier than I thought!

My first time making Jun was just as easy as making Kombucha & tastes great.
