Hi Alex,
I do have your book. I jumped right into the dairy section and I have a couple questions. Sorry about posting it here but I do not see any email info within your blog to contact you directly.
Anyway, you say that kefir grains if not in use should be rinsed and kept in water in fridge. So far I have only heard of keeping the kefir grains in a little milk in the fridge without rinsing them. What is the difference between these 2 methods?
Also my grains seem to be disappearing and shrinking in size. Would you know the reason(s)? Yet strangely enough I am still able to make the same amount of kefir.
Thank you in advance.
I am looking forward to the rest of your book.
Alina

Hello Alina,

This is a fine place to post. I keep the email contact info slightly hidden to ward off spam...

As far as how to keep the kefir grains, I've had good luck keeping them in water, but I know that other people keep them in milk (and it makes sense that that would work). So I think you can do it either way.

As far as disappearing/shrinking grains, is it possible that you are mixing up grains with globs of fat, and perhaps eating some of your grains by accident? Not harmful of course, but once they're gone you'll be sad! Try straining more strictly perhaps? What kind of milk are you using (raw/pasteurized, homogenized/not)? How long are you leaving them in?

Hope this helps! Please follow up with any progress...
