Kefirko Sky Blue Kit (Kefir Kit)

Description

The blue Kerfiro kit is an all-in-one device for preparing kefir. It allows optimal fermentation conditions and simplifies the kefir grain separation procedure at the same time.

Sky Blue Kefirko Kit contains:

• Top lid: which allows air flow and helps prevent impurities from entering the jar.
• Filter: Built into the lid, there is a sieve designed with the thickness of the kefir and the size of the grains in mind. The sieve has two pouring areas: one for milk kefir (larger filter slots) and one for water kefir (smaller filter slots).
• Glass jar: The concave shape of the glass jar provides comfortable handling.
• Scraper: Tool for mixing kefir grains during straining to ensure they are easily separated from the kefir drink.
• Juicer and Swizzle stick juicer are able to squeeze the juice directly into your water kefir. The handy swizzle stick will come in handy for adding the grains and stirring the kefir.
• And a recipe book: it is a booklet of 30 recipes inspired by a variety of kefir dishes and is included with every kefir maker.

Indication

Tips

• The temperature of the environment greatly affects the intensity of fermentation. In the winter months it is recommended to ferment the kefir in a warmer environment (but not directly exposed to the sun or other strong heat sources). For example, the warmest space in the house, or we can even wrap the glass with a blanket. For this reason the activation time of the granules can be extended to more than a week. In this case you have to insist more and change the milk more often as it says in the instructions.

• When we find that the granules form a single piece, it is advisable to gently separate them by hand into smaller pieces; In this way the absorption of vitamins and minerals from the milk is optimized and its fermentation activity improves.

How to activate Kefir Granules?

• Pour a small amount of room temperature milk into a glass jar and add the dehydrated granules.
• Let ferment for 24 hours.
• Strain the granules and discard the milk (if the granules are small, you may initially need to use a strainer finer than the slots on the built-in strainer).
• Wash the granules with warm water without chlorine and repeat the first step.
• Change the milk every 24 hours, until the kefir begins to ferment.
• Once you are happy with the kefir, use more milk for fermentation.

What type of milk to choose when activating Kefir granules?

To prepare milk Kefir you can use cow's, goat's, sheep's or plant-based milk. However, it is recommended to choose fresh or pasteurized whole milk for activation.

How long does it take to reactivate Kefir granules?

The activation time depends on how long the grains were without food. It usually takes 7-14 days to activate milk kefir grains.

• When you decide to activate the kefir grains, place them in warm milk. Try to use the same milk that was used before (cow, sheep, goat). Change the milk every 24 hours and gently wash the grains with NON-chlorinated water when changing the milk. You can stop washing the grains after the third or fourth day.
• Keep changing the milk until the grains are activated, which is when they start producing kefir. This can happen very quickly, but can sometimes take up to 2 weeks if the grains were stored for a long time.

What to do if the kefir grains are small and do not grow at first?

Sometimes, if we notice that the kefir grains are small at first, we should not worry as they will begin to grow, other times they are just parts of the larger grains that separate. There is nothing wrong with small grains, as long as they produce good kefir. If you're worried about losing the grains, try straining them through a smaller plastic mesh strainer (we shouldn't use metal with kefir granules) until they grow.
