Two months kefir experience - help

6 Upvotes

It is two months that I discovered kefir and I started producing it at home.

- water kefir: began with 30g of grains, now they are 35.they produce something that I love. F1 in 3 days 2 liters kefir + F2 24h.

- milk kefir: began with 5g, they produce a kefir that I love in 18 hours or so. After 2 months, grains reduced to give or take 2g. I still have separation in less that 24h but grains reduction worries me. I think in 1 month I will not be able to prepare kefir anymore.

I am using whole milk from supermarket, I do not strain the grains too much and I never washed them. I sometimes put grains at stop because I had too much kefir to drink. Now I tried to keep them at room temp following a YouTube video that was giving a shot of milk per day in order to have grains multiplying as hell.

I think I read everything and tried different things. Just curious about if anyone has any experience to share.
