Product Info
Nylon Mesh Strainer – Perfect for Milk Kefir & Water Kefir Grains
A simple tool that makes kefir making easier. This fine nylon mesh strainer is ideal for separating kefir grains from finished milk kefir or water kefir — quickly, gently, and without damaging your grains.
Unlike metal strainers (which many people prefer to avoid for kefir), nylon mesh is lightweight, non-reactive, and easy to rinse clean. It’s especially helpful when your milk kefir turns out thick and creamy — simply stir gently through the strainer and the grains will separate easily.
You Will Receive
- 1x Nylon mesh strainer suitable for both milk kefir and water kefir.
- Ongoing Support: Personal help whenever you need it — email, chat or phone.
Why You’ll Love It
- Gentle on grains: Helps separate grains without crushing or stressing them.
- Fine mesh: Catches even small grains while letting kefir strain through smoothly.
- Perfect for thick kefir: Ideal when your milk kefir is creamy and harder to strain.
- Easy to clean: Rinse under warm water straight after straining.
- Versatile: Great for straining second ferments (fruit, ginger, herbs) too.
How to Use
- Place the strainer over a bowl or jug.
- Pour in your finished kefir.
- Stir gently with a spoon to help the liquid pass through.
- Transfer grains to fresh milk (milk kefir) or sugar water (water kefir) to start the next batch.
Tip: If your milk kefir is very thick, give the jar a gentle whisk first or add a small splash of fresh milk — it will strain much more easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is nylon safe to use for kefir?
Yes. Nylon mesh is non-reactive and commonly used for straining fermented drinks. Many people prefer it over metal for kefir, especially for long-term daily use.
Can I use this for both milk kefir and water kefir?
Absolutely — it works perfectly for both. The fine mesh catches small grains while letting the finished drink strain through easily.
My milk kefir is too thick to strain — what do I do?
This is common when your grains are very active. Give the jar a gentle whisk first, then strain and stir slowly. If needed, add a splash of fresh milk to loosen it up.
How do I clean it?
Rinse straight after use under warm water. For a deeper clean, soak in warm water with a little dish soap, rinse well, and allow to air dry completely.
Can I strain kombucha with this?
You can strain flavourings (fruit/herbs) from kombucha, but it’s not designed to handle SCOBYs. For kombucha, you generally don’t need a strainer for the SCOBY itself.

Fabulous Customer Service
If you're at all interested in getting into fermentation, The Fermentation Station is the way to go, with awesome advice and help available promptly via email. Great service and products.

Great product and service
I have purchased both water and milk kefir grains and the Kefirko fermenting kits from The Fermentation Station and they are great.
The water kefir is very easy to make and very easy to drink, a delicious alternative to alcoholic drinks without being boring! It's lighter and subtler than kombucha, and easier to look after.
I first bought the water kefir grains alone and used a normal jar and cheesecloth to strain them, which was totally fine, but the kits do make it easier.
The best thing about The Fermentation Station is the fabulous customer service, with questions answered and help given promptly by email. Highly recommended!

Working perfectly
I accidentally used a milk with extra cream for the first batch and that turned out a bit weird, but from the second batch on with just regular milk it's been working perfectly 👌🏻
It's really fun and satisfying to make my own Kefir. Also very easy. Really glad I gave it a go.
Fermentation station were a pleasure to deal with. Thank you 😊

Happy fermentation
I've bought both water and milk kefir grains and they are fantastic. I've been making non stop kefir since my purchases. Very happy

Water Kefir Grains
Great starter
With 70 percent whole wheat and bit of rye (ran out of white), sourdough rose beautifully, with great crumb, better than previous sourdoughs I've made of 50 percent white that used my original starter from elsewhere (eventually died). Love this starter.

Thank you for wonderful milk kefir grains. Thank you for caring about how you run your business by running it with care and honesty. Im very pleased with the grains I have purchased. Ive been making kefir for a few years now and I can say with much honesty and enthusiasm that you take great care with what you do in your business. I glad I found you and gave you a try. I especially like your approach to other reviewers taking the time to explain the tips to better kefir. I loved the packaging and the express post. And I love the kefir I make at home its original and wholesome.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
