Are there instructions on how to make the Kefir. I'm a novice?

There's amazing step-by-step instructions on how to use the kefir starter in MANY ways!

you're in luck. There are instructions. I am a novice too and I had to make it with rice milk. I can't say I did a great job with it but there were instructions or that too.

Yes. It is so easy you wont believe!! I used this exact kit, and my results were delicious. I personally used whole organic milk. I made 7 quarts out of one packet. There are 6 packets. Have fun!!

While I didn't find a PDF of the manual :( I found these pages on the hawkinscookers.com web site which may be of help. You might try print useful pages then "save as PDF" to keep a bachup copy for when the web address no longer works. :) Trial Run before cooking: http://www.hawkinscookers.com/1.4.4.pc_trial_run.html Basic product information: http://www.hawkinscookers.com/1.4.3.pc_basicproduct_info.html All the parts of the 2 liter Contura: http://www.hawkinscookers.com/4.1.1.parts_and_service.aspx?exp_flag=E&brand_id=2

Kefir grains are mesophilic, meaning kefir ferments at room temperature; trying to make it in a thermophilic yogurt maker that runs 30-40 degrees hotter than room temp will probably kill your culture. You only need live kefir grains, milk, and a jar (preferably glass) to make kefir.

Yes there were instructions. After mixing the lean ground beef with the two packs of seasonings provided you fill the container, attach what ever size cap you want and squeeze the handle to release the contents on to the tray.

Type "How to Make Bokashi" in a youtube search. "Podchef" Neil Foley has a good demonstration.

Put the coffee in the pot with the water. Let it come to a boil and the bubbles rise to the top but NOT boil over. Gently remove it from the heat so that it goes back "down," bring back to boil like that two more times and let it sit for 1 1/2 minutes to let grounds settle. Pour out in equal amounts into cups a little at a time. If you had three cups, for example, filee eacj half way and then portion the rest out so each cup has equal foam. there a fantastic videos on YOUTUBE. Just do a search on youtube for making perfect turkish coffee. the first three choices sow every good variation. If this is not enough, just write back. Enjoy your coffee!

My Basic Recipe: 3 cups of All Purpose Flour (I use 00 Flour) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar 2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 1/3 cups of Warm Water, 110 degrees 1 Envelope of Yeast 1) Add the yeast to warm water and set it aside for about 5 minutes. 2) In the bowl of a standing mixer, fitted with a dough attachment, mix together the flour, salt, sugar and olive oil. Stir the yeast in the water to make sure its all dissolved and add it to the flour mixture. 3) With the speed on medium, mix until everything is combined. Reduce the speed to low and mix for 10 minutes. 4) Oil 2 bowls with olive oil and set aside. Divide the dough in two pieces and roll into a ball. Place each ball of dough into the oiled bowls, seam side down and brush the tops of the dough with a little oil to stop them from drying out. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of each bowl and place the dough into a warm place let rise for 1 hour or until double in size, then you are all set :-)

The instructions are in the box, but basically you boil it and let it set for 10- to 12 hrs and boil again and then strain it into mason jars (2). I use a small strainer and then cheese cloth as it has a lot of sediment in it. After your first time it will be easy. Just make sure after it has cooled to be sure to put it in the refrig. I hope this helps.

I would ask the farm/company you got it from. If it is the same with the one I got it from you still have a few days. I just travelled with some grains from home to italy. (washed well and placed in a ziplock bag and threw it in my luggage). I am already drinking kefir, about 2 cups daily. Your kefir will travel quite well but since the quantity is super small expect about 3 weeks to grow it! Be patient and you will grow it so fast after the initial 3 that you will look for people/friends to give it to. Are you familiar with "DOM'S KEFIR"? Google and you will get an Australian site. Informative and fun to read. Once you need to thin your kefir have those people/friends read it, too

As best as I recall, mine came with simple instructions. Maybe I can help you... I use mine quite a bit

No Kim. I just mix it with foods that have liquid and mix into Kefir, occasionally, sprinkle on air popcorn with coconut oil and Himalayan sea salt, now that's good.

When you strain out the kefir to retrieve the grains, you can rinse them gently in lukewarm water in the strainer. That will dissolve any remaining curds and leave the real kefir grains so it will be obvious.
