Thanks John
As you're the 3rd person to say this today, there's obvious wisdom here which i
for one will not question. and it makes sense. many of us do a similar process
w/ the kombucha.

Hi Mark,
The lady who owns gem cultures told me that to make the grains grow faster,
strain every 12 hours instead of 24, then let the immature 12 hr old kefir age
on the counter another 12 hours. I also have heard to shake the kefir jar more
frequently for more rapid growth.
I suppose the key is to keep the lactose available as food for the grains. It
seems that a slightly increased ambient temperature also speeds growth. Being
in FL I suppose that won't be a problem for you.
Some people talk about their grains growing very large. My grains seem to
stay relatively small, but rapidly multiply. I am sure one of the more
experienced members could better answer this part of your question.
John
