Plus if I’d prefer to buy/share locally. Any advice for finding either a local supplier or someone that wouldn’t mind giving me a sample of their starter?
Would bottled water kefir be a suitable starter the way unpasteurized bottled kombucha can?
Maybe. I’ve never had success that way tho.
Where are you located? I know a company in France who gives away their surplus grains, you just need to pay for shipping.
I am in Utah, near the capital city. I have found one company that sells bottles of water kefir and kombucha that said they would sell me starter kefir grains for 5 USD. I would just have to pick it up at their head quarters.
Seems like a decent deal.
Definitely better than what I am seeing online.
I’ve always just bought stuff like that off Ebay, usually £3-5 delivered.
