Product Info
Premium Organic Milk Kefir Grains – Fresh, Active & Ready to Brew
Our premium quality Milk Kefir Grains are the perfect addition to your daily routine. Carefully grown and cultured on certified organic milk, these grains are fresh, active, and designed to give you the best possible results. They’re easy to use, require minimal maintenance, and once acclimated will continue producing batch after batch of probiotic-rich milk kefir every 24–48 hours.
Made from a unique blend of beneficial bacteria and yeast, these grains are a natural and sustainable source of probiotics that help promote a healthy digestive system, boost immunity, and increase energy levels.
Not only is milk kefir easy to make at home, but it’s also one of the most potent natural probiotic foods available. You can ferment daily with confidence knowing that your culture is reusable, self-renewing, and — with proper care — can last forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I get with each option?
You’ll receive either 8 g or 16 g of live organic milk kefir grains, depending on the option selected at checkout. The 8 g pack ferments about 300 ml of milk per batch — perfect for one person — while the 16 g pack produces roughly 600 ml per batch, ideal for households or anyone fermenting regularly. Both options are reusable and will multiply with ongoing care.
How much milk should I use with my grains?
Start with about 250–300 ml of full-cream milk per 5 g (about 1 teaspoon) of grains. If you purchased the 8 g pack, use roughly 300 ml of milk. For the 16 g pack, start with around 600 ml. Adjust based on taste and temperature — warmer rooms ferment faster.
How long should I ferment milk kefir for?
Typically 24–48 hours at room temperature (around 22–25 °C). In cooler weather, a longer ferment produces a thicker, tangier result. You’ll know it’s ready when the milk starts to thicken and separate slightly.
Can I reuse the grains indefinitely?
Yes! Milk kefir grains are completely reusable and can last forever with proper care. After each ferment, simply strain the grains, add fresh milk, and start your next batch. They’ll continue growing and multiplying for years — a true buy-once, ferment-forever culture.
How do I store the grains if I’m taking a break?
Place them in a jar with milk and refrigerate. They’ll keep happily for about a week between ferments. For longer breaks, refresh with fresh milk every 7–10 days to keep them healthy.
My kefir is thin or not tangy enough — what should I do?
Leave it fermenting longer — up to 48 hours — especially in cooler weather. Once strained, refrigerate overnight; it will thicken further as it chills. The tang develops naturally with each batch as the grains fully “wake up.”
How are your kefir grains shipped?
We ship daily across Australia using Australia Post Priority. Each batch is packed in a small amount of milk to keep it stable and active in transit. Kefir grains can comfortably survive 1–2 weeks in postage without issue.
What if my grains don’t activate?
We offer an Arrive Alive Guarantee — if your grains don’t start fermenting within a few batches, we’ll send a free express replacement. Your success is 100% guaranteed.

Let customers speak for us
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf. I'll probably get another, which says it all.

Banneton
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit. Gets right down to the bottom of the starter jar. It gets a lot of use, and is something I'd gladly buy again when it wears out. Or get's eaten by the starter - sometimes it's a real wrestle with the darn beast hanging on to it, spitting and snarling.

Dough spatula
Great jar for sourdough starter
Great jar for sourdough starter. Does what it needs to do, which is, a) be a jar, b) stop your starter from escaping the lab and taking over the world. Good wooden lid for when the creature is napping in the fridge, and a cloth lid for when you Feed the Beast and let it do it's work

Fermenting Jar
Active Dough-eating beast
Great starter - active and making sourdough very quickly. I've been using Bake With Jack's sourdough starter scrapings method to minimise waste and it works perfectly: https://youtu.be/LddGEfOs-_M?si=grPzxrmwc6WPd37-

Hungry Critters
Amazing that you can send live critters in a bag in the post. Took the little fellas a day or two to wake up, but now they're munching through milk at a rate I can barely keep up with. The creature production line has rapidly expanded to two jars which produce kefir as fast as we can glug it. Our bowels rejoice.

White plastic dough scraper thingamabob.
It's a white plastic wotsit that scrapes dough. Probably the one item in the sourdough kits that I use most. This, along with the banneton, jar and dough spatula are all you need to make sourdough. The rest of the kit is just clutter.
I'd recommend https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/7/5/sourdough-loaf-for-beginners for a super-simple no fuss method.

Best gift I have purchased
I purchased the French Sourdough Starter Kit as a gift for my daughter Felicity, and she has absolutely mastered it! The kit was beautifully presented and came with everything she needed to get started. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and within no time she was baking delicious, crusty sourdough loaves that taste amazing.
It’s been such a joy watching her enthusiasm grow and seeing the wonderful results each week. This kit has truly sparked her love for sourdough baking — a perfect gift for anyone wanting to try something new and rewarding. Highly recommend!
