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.
