SIX Brewing Bags Plus Large Portion Cup with 33% MORE Live Florida Sun Kefir Natural Water Kefir Grains

I ordered my first batch of these grains with high hopes, as I had already tried some dehydrated ones that just couldn't ever really take off.The grains were shipped immediately, but they were hung up somewhere in the USPS system and not arriving when expected. I waited and waited, and I knew after a week they were probably lost and would no longer be viable by the time I received them (IF I received them).I contacted Florida Sun to let them know my concern, and they were amazing! They immediately refunded my money and told me to order them again and that they would send me double the size originally ordered. AMAZING customer service! It wasn't even their fault, but they took full responsibility anyway.So they immediately sent out the next order of them, which arrived in about 5 days - Along WITH my first batch that had clearly been just hanging out in the USPS truck (long story, but it was indeed obvious).So now I have 3 of the batches of water kefir grains, so I decided what the heck, I might as well try the first batch as well just to see if it would work. I started 3 jars and followed the very clear, detailed instructions provided with the grains. I labeled them with the old/lost grains vs the new grains so I would be aware of which ones were "dead."Much to my amazement, all 3 jars took off and were happily bubbling away within just a few hours! I went through a longer first ferment for 3 days, flavored for second ferment, and I was rewarded with perfect, delicious, refreshing, fizzy water kefir! The grains multiplied in the first batch and are doing amazing.I very highly recommend this company and their grains. They package and ship them out very professionally, and the grains are healthy and alive (and huge!) upon receipt. Their instructions were very detailed and easy to understand.Note: The photo is the initial setup I did with the double batch they sent me as a replacement and the first batch that was still alive after 11 days in shipping. I have made 3 batches of water kefir out of them since the initial setup, and each one is amazing (lemon/ginger/honey is my favorite flavored one so far).

I'm new to water kefir and fermenting. Had multiple surgeries in 2019 and have been unable to shake extra 30lbs since. After researching bad and healthy gut bacteria, came across water kefir & figured I'd try it. I've had them for 1 week and they've already grown from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. It took 4 days from order date to arrive but they arrived in good condition. I've been boiling city water & letting it cool to room temp so I can make my kefir. The instruction cards were very helpful for a novice like myself. I use regular cane sugar and a stainless steel strainer. I put about a cup full of water kefir in my smoothies every OTHER day and I've fermented some rice and beans. I plan to bump my intake up to one cup in my smoothie a day or just add fruit juice to the water for a fake soda as I'm now on my 3rd batch. I've already begun to notice more regular bowel movements in such short time. I typically go once every 2-3 days, now I'm averaging about once a day (today I even went twice). So far, no discomfort, but fermenting food (taste-wise) will take some getting used to. The quality of these grains are pretty good and I suspect that they'll keep growing so I'll probably blend the excess up in my smoothie. Can't wait to try fermenting other foods & making sodas. I like the fact the kefir eats the sugars.4 Mar 2021 Update: On 14 Feb (day I started drinking kefir) I weighed 194.6. On 3 Mar (yesterday) I weighed 188.6. I've been drinking kefir water for 2.5 weeks now. I now have regular bowel movements (1-2 day vs once every 2-3 days), my craving for sweets and junk food has decreased significantly as well as my appetite in general - I literally have to force myself to eat more calories. Also, after moving to another city 8 months ago, I've had eczema became chronic and I've been on meds constantly to reduce itchy rashes, but after drinking kefir, it went away - no more itch, rash, or patchy spots on my skin. I stopped taking eczema meds and was even able to shave regularly and go back to using my fav body washes with no prob. I drink about 1.5 cup daily as I put some in my smoothie and the rest I drink as soda kefir. I decided not to buy spring water as boiled tap water works just fine. Grains have grown from 1/4 cup to 3 cups in less than 2.5 weeks. I blended 1/2 cup excess grains into my smoothies so they weren't wasted, so what you see in the bowl is 2.5 cups of grains. The drink hasn't helped with gas as I'm just as gassy as before. Also, 4 days after drinking it, I started having hyper-saliva that lasted for four days, but not sure if that was tied to kefir, tap water I drank from Starbucks that week,, or my body fighting an infection. I stopped spitting and was back to normal after 4 days. I use the card instructions exactly so every other brew, I add 1/8 tsp of baking soda and 1 tbs unsulfered molasses to 32oz sugar water with the 1/4 cup grains and let it sit two days on counter with papertowel/rubber band. If you make sodas, you MUST burp bottle at least once a day (I do it 2x day) or you'll be in for an explosive surprise when you the the top off the soda bottles. Highly recommend this brand of grains! Just wish I knew someone who could take the excess and benefit from it like I have.

These water kefir gains could not be better! They come super fresh, and with almost a half a cup!In the past, I have tried to dry greens, but they never worked out for me, and I created an odd concoction of yeasty disaster.These grains on the other hand, they come ready to go and are super easy to work with!My go to second ferment flavor is a raspberry ginger, you can’t go wrong. It’s so fizzy and delicious. It tastes like an artisanal soda!As for me, I think the gut microbiome so complex so it’s hard to associate one item to fixing everything, but I think in the arsenal of gut health champions, water kefir has been a pretty great front runner for me.
