Why We Ship Our Water Kefir Grains Dried
We intentionally ship our water kefir grains dehydrated to protect them during transport. Water kefir grains are soft and fragile when wet, making them more susceptible to being crushed or damaged in the post.
From our experience growing and shipping water kefir cultures, we’ve found dehydration to be the most reliable way to protect the grains during transport. It places the culture into a stable state, making the grains more resilient during shipping and extending their shelf life without compromising their ability to reactivate.
There’s also no need to activate them immediately when they arrive. In their dried state, the grains are shelf-stable for at least 6 months. When you’re ready to begin, simply follow the supplied activation instructions and place them into fresh sugar water. The grains rehydrate quickly and begin waking up straight away.
Arrive Alive Guarantee
We want you to order with confidence. In the rare event your water kefir grains don’t successfully activate after following our rehydration and activation instructions, we’ll send you a free replacement. Your success with your water kefir culture is guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll receive the 900 ml Kefirko Water Kefir Fermenter, your selected amount of organic water kefir grains, our Water Kefir Growth Premix, our 40+ page Complete Beginner’s Guide to Water Kefir digital eBook, instructions and ongoing support. The Growth Premix and eBook are both included at no additional cost.
Is the Water Kefir eBook included?
Yes. Every bundle includes our Complete Beginner’s Guide to Water Kefir digital eBook at no additional cost. The 40+ page guide covers everything from activating your dried grains and making your first batches through to choosing ingredients, understanding fermentation, long-term grain care, troubleshooting, second fermentation and six refreshing recipes.
What is the Water Kefir Growth Premix?
Our Water Kefir Growth Premix is designed to support healthy, active water kefir grains and encourage grain growth. A pack is included FREE with this bundle at no additional cost.
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. The Kefirko design makes fermenting and straining simple, and the bundle includes step-by-step instructions plus our comprehensive 40+ page Water Kefir eBook to guide you from activation through to regular brewing, flavouring and ongoing grain care.
Why are your water kefir grains dried instead of shipped wet?
Water kefir grains are soft and relatively fragile when wet, making them more susceptible to being crushed or damaged during transport. From our experience growing and shipping water kefir cultures, we’ve found dehydration to be the most reliable way to protect them in the post. It places the culture into a stable, dormant state and significantly extends its shelf life. Once placed back into fresh sugar water, the grains rehydrate quickly and begin returning to active fermentation.
How long do dried water kefir grains take to activate?
Water kefir grains rehydrate quickly once added to fresh sugar water and begin waking up straight away. You can usually start seeing signs of fermentation within the first few cycles, with the grains becoming progressively stronger as they fully acclimatise to their new environment. Simply follow the included step-by-step activation instructions.
How long does water kefir take to ferment?
Once your grains are fully activated, most batches are ready in 24–48 hours. Warmer conditions generally ferment faster, while cooler conditions can slow fermentation.
How much should I brew?
Start with the amount you selected, either 500 ml or 750 ml. The 900 ml Kefirko fermenter gives enough space for the grains and fermentation activity while keeping the overall setup compact.
How much sugar do I need?
Use 1–2 tablespoons of sugar per 250 ml of water. Organic raw sugar, white sugar or rapadura can all be used.
Can I flavour the kefir?
Absolutely. After the first ferment, water kefir can be flavoured with fruit, ginger, lemon, berries, herbs, juices and many other ingredients. A second fermentation can also produce additional natural carbonation.
Can I use honey?
We don’t recommend honey for regular water kefir fermentation. Honey can have antimicrobial properties and isn’t the preferred food source for maintaining healthy water kefir grains. Use an appropriate sugar instead.
How long will the grains last?
With proper care, water kefir grains can be maintained indefinitely. They are a reusable living culture and, under suitable conditions, can continue fermenting and multiplying over time. The FREE Growth Premix included with this kit can also be used to support healthy grain growth.
Do I have to activate them as soon as they arrive?
No. One of the major advantages of receiving your grains dehydrated is their excellent shelf life. In their dried state, they are shelf-stable for at least 6 months, so you can activate them whenever you’re ready.
How do I store the grains if I need a break?
For a short break, place your activated grains in fresh sugar water and refrigerate them. Refresh the sugar water periodically to help maintain the culture during storage.
What if my grains don’t activate?
Your grains are covered by our Arrive Alive Guarantee. If you’ve followed the supplied activation instructions and your grains still don’t successfully activate, get in touch with us. We’ll help troubleshoot the process and, in the rare event that the culture has failed, provide a free replacement.

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!

My kefir grains got activated within a week. The yogurt is amazing and so good for my health. The delivery was safe and very fast. I'm really enjoying the process 🙂

The grains worked immediately yielding delicious kefir.
Also, I was able to get them to adapt to soy milk without having to periodically moving them back into normal milk.
One envelope has been fermenting soy milk for 5 months so far and looks very healthy. I just add 1 teaspoon of dextrose/glucose powder from time to time per 1 litre of soy milk.

Thanks so much for your lovely reviews, Glenys! We’re delighted you’re happy with the quality of your milk kefir grains. If you ever have any questions, we’re always happy to help. Happy fermenting! 😊

When my little package arrived I really felt skeptical that it was going to work as there were very little grains there, but low and behold it has taken off great and is multiplying daily
Hi PMc,
Thank you for sharing your experience! The grains can shrink a little in transit as they continue to ferment, but once added to fresh milk, they plump right back up after the first batch. We’re thrilled to hear yours have taken off and are multiplying daily. Happy fermenting!
C
So easy to make kefir. I am really enjoying making it and drinking it daily. I love that you can add flavours or keep in plain and simple. It is definitely a much better option compared to store bought kefir
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re so glad you’re enjoying making your own kefir and experimenting with different flavours. It’s such a simple and rewarding ferment to have as part of your daily routine. Happy fermenting!

Great start to my fermentation intro and really enjoying my daily self-supply of kefir
Thanks so much, Geof! It’s great to hear you’re enjoying your kefir and having such a good start with fermentation. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Took about a week to arrive in Sydney at the end of Winter. Initially the grains were small and limp but after a week of feeding and the weather warming up they are now cauliflower shaped and doubled in size. It ferments a delicious small cup of Kefir in 24hrs every day now.
Hi Leung,
Thanks so much for the lovely review! The grains can wilt a little during transit, but they always plump back up again as soon as they’re added to fresh milk. It’s wonderful to hear that yours are now growing so well and producing delicious kefir every day.
Enjoy!

Pleased with my purchase. If took the grains 4-5 days to become fully active in full cream milk. Very good results and delicious.
Thank you, Daniela! We’re so glad to hear your grains have settled in and are now producing delicious kefir. A few days to acclimate to their new milk and environment is perfectly normal, so it sounds like they’re doing beautifully. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!

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.
