A big thank you to NourishMe Organics from me! I ordered my large kefir making kit just a few days before Cyclone Alfred became an issue for us up here in far north New South Wales. As soon as I heard that we were in the firing line I emailed the company to try and delay the postage of my order, as I knew that the live milk kefir grains only had a limited survival time in the post, but it had already been shipped. I crossed my fingers, but sure enough the power outages, near flooding rain and airport and road closures meant 4 days in my little village with no postal service and when my grains arrived on the Tuesday after the threat had passed,after 5 or 6 days in the post, the poor little guys were done for. I put them in fresh organic milk straight away but to no avail! In grief and disappointment I emailed the company in the slim hope that there might be some insurance claim I could make for the spoiled grains, and they immediately shipped me off a new bag of grains, free of charge! I was so happy when they arrived and were in excellent condiction. I am on the 5th batch already and after taking the advice on the website to start with 125ml of milk for the first three batches, and adding the excellent kefir starter powder that came with my kit, I am now getting a cup of kefir a day, and thoroughly enjoying my healthy fermentation journey.
The provided jar, aeration lid, slotted stirring spoon and attachable scraper are really easy to use, and seem to be made of very high quality materials. I will be ordering more products from them as my finances allow, and I think it represents great value for money!!
