Milk and equipment are supplied separately. Your instruction card explains what you need, how to make your first batch and how to use a portion of finished plain yoghurt for subsequent batches.
From Your First Batch to Your Own Routine
Begin by reading your instruction card and gathering the recommended ingredients and equipment. Follow the supplied method for preparing the milk, adding your starter and maintaining the specified culturing conditions.
Once you have a successful batch, reserve a clean portion of plain yoghurt before adding flavourings. Use this to start your next batch according to the supplied instructions. You can make subsequent batches to suit your household by adjusting the saved yoghurt and fresh milk together in the correct ratio.
As this is a blended culture, the balance of bacteria can change with repeated re-culturing. Follow the guidance for maintaining your starter and restarting from a fresh sachet when needed. Contact us if its performance changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with my L. reuteri Yoghurt Starter Culture?
You’ll receive your L. reuteri Yoghurt Starter Culture, a high-quality double-sided full-colour instruction card, our FREE Yoghurt Digital eBook and ongoing personal support by email, chat or phone. Milk and equipment are supplied separately.
Is this a pure L. reuteri culture?
This starter is a blend containing L. reuteri alongside L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, which are traditional yoghurt bacteria. Follow the supplied method for this blend rather than a recipe designed for L. reuteri tablets or a different starter.
Is the Yoghurt eBook included?
Yes. Every L. reuteri Yoghurt Starter Culture purchase includes our Yoghurt Digital eBook at no additional cost. The eBook is supplied digitally, and your printed instruction card is also included.
Is the starter only for one batch?
No. You can use a clean portion of plain yoghurt from a successful batch to culture fresh milk, following the supplied re-culturing instructions. As this is a blend, repeated batches may change the balance of bacteria, and a fresh sachet may be needed to restart the culture.
Can I make larger or smaller batches?
Yes, for subsequent batches. Follow the first-batch quantities on your instruction card when using the sachet, then scale later batches using the recommended ratio of saved yoghurt to fresh milk. Your equipment must be able to maintain the required temperature throughout the batch.
How do I save starter for the next batch?
Reserve a clean portion of plain yoghurt from a successful batch before adding flavourings or straining. Follow your instruction card for refrigeration, how soon to reuse it and how much to add to fresh milk.
Will every batch contain the same amount of L. reuteri?
The amount and balance of bacteria can vary between homemade batches, particularly with repeated re-culturing. A thick set does not confirm a particular L. reuteri count, and the culture does not provide a guaranteed dose in the finished yoghurt.
Which instructions should I follow?
Follow the L. reuteri instruction card supplied with your culture. It provides the method for your starter, including the recommended ingredients and culturing conditions. Contact us if you need help with any step.
Can I use my existing yoghurt maker?
Check that your yoghurt maker can maintain the temperature and run for the duration specified on your instruction card. If you’re unsure, contact us with the make and model so we can help you assess its suitability.
What ingredients should I use?
Use the ingredients and quantities listed on your supplied instruction card. Check with us before making substitutions, particularly when starting your first batch.
What temperature and fermentation time should I use?
Use the temperature and timing specified in the instructions supplied with your starter. Follow the complete method rather than applying the settings from another yoghurt recipe.
Is it suitable for beginners?
You’ll have a step-by-step instruction card and ongoing personal support to help you get started. Read the instructions before beginning, make sure your equipment meets the requirements and contact us if anything is unclear.
Can I add fruit, honey or other flavours?
Yes. First reserve a plain portion for your next batch, then add your favourite toppings to the finished, chilled yoghurt you’re ready to enjoy. Berries, honey and cinnamon are simple serving options.
What if my batch doesn’t turn out as expected?
Contact us for help before using an uncertain batch as a starter for another. Let us know which ingredients, quantities, equipment, temperature and fermentation time you used so we can help you work through the result.
How do I access ongoing support?
Every purchase includes ongoing support by email, chat or phone. Whether you’re preparing your first batch or need help with your routine, we’re here to offer personal guidance.

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality, design and ease of use are fantastic. It’s made getting into home fermentation so much easier, and the 1250ml size is perfect.
The kit feels well thought out, practical and built for regular use. It’s also great to see a small family business offering quality products and genuinely caring about its customers.
Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to plenty more batches of homemade water kefir. I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend The Fermentation Station!

Great way of starting off on Kefir making
decided to get this to make it easy for my first attempt at Kefir making and it has been great, works well, easy to clean and see what the kefir is up to. Comes with everything you need to make Kefir, grains have grown and producing well, takes a little time and patience but worth it.

Ordered Milk Kefir Grains (300ml)
I ordered Milk Kefir Grains from The Fermentation Station because the other options for amazon I tried weren’t good enough, and I’m really happy with them. They arrived in good condition, and they’ve been growing well since I started fermenting. Thanks to The Fermentation Station for the support and the friendly help getting started!

First sourdough bread
Great starter (San Francisco), and the instructions were clear in the e-book. I’m about to bake my second sourdough bread, the first was a resounding success! Yet to try the French starter.

I’m very much enjoying this product
I’m very much enjoying this product. It took me a bit of time to get started but, I’m now making all sorts of beautiful bread etc
Dolores Macklin
Great milk kefir grains - thank you!
My milk kefir grains arrived promptly. I started culturing them immediately. They have grown exponentially to the point where I put grains in my smoothies along with the kefir. The grains are very healthy and my gut is responding well to them!

Started working immediately
Started working immediately. I’ve had no trouble at all and can’t quite keep up with how quickly the grains are multiplying.

300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person
300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person. I chose your company because of the Growth Premix to help boost the quality of the Kifer milk Grains.
The results speak for themselves, I’ve never had such a delicious creamy lightly tangy outcome before, I love the taste and consistency and can’t wait for each morning. I think the Growth Premix was the missing link from my previous attempts at home made milk Kifer.
Thank you
