Frequently Asked Questions
What is Caspian Sea yoghurt?
Caspian Sea yoghurt is a cultured milk known for its mild flavour and silky, slightly stretchy texture. Once established, it cultures at suitable room temperature and can be maintained by saving a portion of plain yoghurt to start the next batch.
What comes with my Caspian Sea Yoghurt Starter Culture?
You’ll receive your Caspian Sea 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 the Yoghurt eBook included?
Yes. Every Caspian Sea Yoghurt Starter Culture purchase includes our Yoghurt Digital eBook at no additional cost. The eBook is supplied digitally so you can read it on your phone, tablet or computer. Your printed instruction card is also included.
Is the starter only for one batch?
No. The sachet gets your culture started. Once you have a successful batch, save a little plain yoghurt to culture fresh milk for the next. With regular care and suitable conditions, you can continue making batches without opening a new sachet each time.
Can I make larger or smaller batches?
Yes, once your culture is established. Follow the first-batch quantities on your instruction card when activating the sachet, then adjust subsequent batches using the recommended ratio of saved yoghurt to fresh milk. Choose a batch size that suits your household and equipment.
How do I keep my culture going?
Save a small portion of plain yoghurt from each successful batch before adding flavourings or straining. Store and reuse it according to your instruction card. Regular culturing, clean equipment and suitable temperatures help keep your culture performing well.
Do I need a yoghurt maker?
A yoghurt maker isn’t essential if you can provide the conditions in your instructions. The first batch uses a warm activation method; once established, your culture can ferment at suitable room temperature. In very warm or cool weather, you may need a way to manage the temperature.
What does Caspian Sea yoghurt taste like?
It is known for a mild flavour with a gentle tang. Your milk and culturing conditions can influence the finished flavour, so follow the supplied instructions as you get to know your culture.
Why does it have a slightly stretchy texture?
A silky, slightly stretchy consistency is a characteristic of Caspian Sea yoghurt. The texture can vary between batches depending on your milk and culturing conditions. If you notice an unexpected change and are unsure about your batch, contact us for guidance.
Does Caspian Sea yoghurt have grains like milk kefir?
No. There are no grains to strain out. A small portion of your finished plain yoghurt acts as the starter for your next batch.
How long does it take to ferment?
Timing depends on your room temperature, milk and how established your culture is. Follow the timing and readiness guidance on your instruction card, then refrigerate your yoghurt once it has finished culturing.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Once activated, its room-temperature method and simple batch-to-batch routine make it an approachable introduction to home fermentation. Your instruction card guides you through getting started, and we’re available by email, chat or phone if you need help.
Can I add fruit, honey or other flavours?
Absolutely. Add flavourings after culturing, and first set aside a portion of plain yoghurt for your next batch. Try berries, honey or cinnamon, or blend your finished yoghurt into a fruit smoothie.
What if I need help with my culture?
Every purchase includes ongoing support by email, chat or phone. Whether you have a question about getting started or a batch that hasn’t turned out as expected, contact us for personal guidance.

A great product
The grains arrived really well packaged, I loved that the information all about Kefir and how to get started came through for me to download on ordering as it gave me a chance to learn all about it while they were in there way. Kefir grains arrived in great condition and we started using them straight away

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.
