water keifer grains dehydrated for years

Postby JenniferT » Thu May 26, 2016 12:34 am

I have water keifer grains that have been dehydrated for about 3 years. I know they are not supposed to last that long, but I decided to give them a try anyways. The are making bubbles and some are floating. I remember that they would do this before. It's been a long time, so I don't clearly remember what it was like. I have exchanged their sugar water about 4 times and I tasted this latest batch and I think it kind of tasted like it did before, but maybe a little sweeter than I remember. Has anyone else had luck re-hydrating water keifer grains after years of storage? Are the bubbles and floating a good sign?

Thanks
Jennifer

Interesting! I never knew dried grains could last that long. I thought several months, probably a year. But to come back after 3 years is impressive. Bubbles and any floating grains are a good sign and it sounds like they may just make a full recovery. The best sign is growth. Any growth yet?

I'm not sure yet. I just bottled a batch in a grolsch bottle and I have about 4 TBSP of Kefir grains. I just realized that I spelled Kefir wrong :lol:
There is definitely some bubbling going on. I'll let you know. Water kefir is sooo much cheaper than those expensive probiotic supplements and tasty, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
