I would not recommend eating foods that come in contact with fiberglass.

Why would you want to wash the protective biological bed out of the kefir grains? It's the kefir grains only defense against bad bacteria. Being that a kitchen is in no way a sterile environment, introducing harmful bacteria that can kill washed kefir grains is inevitable. Plus, the bit of milk or whey that is left on the grains can help seed the next batch.

Just started and after making a huge mess all over the counter, I said, "there has to be a better way to do this!" Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

THIS IS GENIUS!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I'm totally going to adopt your method. Hate the old strainer method. Thank you 😊

I can go one better. I have made kefir for almost two and a half years. Initially (6months) with shop bought kefir instead of the grains.

I'm just starting this journey, and you make more sense than anyone I've listened to, yet.

Thank you for sharing great ideas. It looks easy and practical!!!

Thank you for the share. I too have been struggling with the strainer method and now will be getting some screen!! Looks so slick!😊

OMG thank you..i've been struggling with this issue as well! you're a flippen genius!! thanks for sharing

This looks so convenient! Thanks for sharing.

You should not wash your grains.

Genius, I would say. Thank you a million times. This is going to help me big time. Now I just subscribed.

A nut milk bag works well. Pour it in, squeeze it then wash the bag. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you so much for this great idea! As my kefir grains are increasing, I found it a lengthy procedure to strain them. I’m kind of getting even the last drop of my “kefired”milk and not discarding it through the sink, 😁 so I always pour a little bit of mineral water over the grains and mesh on a plastic container, wash them with these clean water and I make a very light kefir water, delicious and refreshing 😃❤️

That's a great idea Janette. I have been wanting to get Kefir grans for milk. Right now I just buy Kefir milk a the store. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah, I agree that’s awesome. Keep it simple hope to be getting some Kiefer grains, and hope to begin starting mine.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Great tip!! Straining through a slotted spoon was killing me. It was so time-intensive and messy with a lot of waste. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for your sharing - creative and easy.

Thank you so much. I've been struggling.
