Kefir grains in Baton Rouge area?

Our Daily Bread on Florida might.

I'm willing to split my grains if you can't find them locally. I'm in prairieville

I don't add fruit and just do one step fermentation.

I bought them a few years ago from Home Grown Health on Etsy.

Hey, I’ll trade sourdough starter for kefir grains

They grow fairly quickly in the right conditions, and the bigger they get the faster your kefir ferments. They like whole milk and the amount of pasteurization matters for the end product. I tried 2% a few years ago and it worked for a few batches before they started to regress. Try different brands as some are pasteurized and some ultra and find one that produces a texture you like. Some produce thinner and some produce thicker kefir. I prefer thick. Some milks separate very quickly and I really don't like that at all. You can shake it in a bottle to remix but it separates again.

You can slow them down by putting them in milk in the refrigerator if you don't want to produce, but I drink it quickly so mine are working constantly.

Not the same grains. Milk kefir grains need the lactose. I think water kefir grains feed on sugar. I've never made it and could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain it won't work

I used to make milk Kefir and if conditions were right, I could put some fresh strawberries into it after the first ferment and put it in the fridge and it'd get somewhat fizzy. I don't tolerate lactose as well so I stay away from liquid dairy. (can't give up cheese pizza)

It's fermented dairy, similar to yogurt but drinkable. Much easier to make at home than yogurt and contains a higher concentration of probiotics.
