Here in Texas, I have not had trouble with my milk kefir grains unless I have been careless with them. The do grow, and I eat the excess growth. I always have a small lump for making milk kefir, and my grains make it in less than 24 hours!
I love the taste of the raw milk kefir made from the grains very very much. Sometimes I leave it lumpy thick; other times I put it through a plastic strainer to make it very smooth but thick. Whatever way I do it, it is always thick and delicious. I also feed it to my dogs who are thriving on it. My grains have been with me for a long time. And if they were to have a problem, I would get more grains.
