I received my trio today but none of the packets are labeled. Am I right that the milk kefir is the white, and the water kefir grains are amber?

Yes. There is also a lot of information on how to use the products at Poseymom.com

Would suggest to either contact the seller, as mine were kcups but were packaged in a shipping box and portioned within a smaller bag. Or if you have a regular keurig use the gray my keurig with a Melitta single cup filter, cut the single serve bag, dump into the filter then brew.

I don't know. The 3 pack was shipped to me in same box as a book and some Whiskas Temptations.

Did you just receive the grains or are they active grains? Usually it take a week or two after shipping before the grain becomes fully active. You need to follow the instruction that comes with the shipping. Also, what is the proportion of milk to grain? If you have too little grain, it will take longer time. I use whole cow milk, and about 1:4 ratio of grain vs milk, and it takes 24 hour in room temperature (70'F) to get good kefir. Hope this helps.

The grains will take time to adjust to their new environment as well as recover from the shock of travel. I would follow the sellers instructions exactly, especially in the first few weeks. After a couple of weeks, at most, the grains should be making excellent dairy ferments and growing/multiplying. They do not grow as rapidly as water kefir grains and sometimes they stop growing for awhile yet continue to produce excellent kefir. Other milks, like coconut and soy, can be used. However for at least the first few weeks I would stick with whole organic milk, raw if possible. Goats or sheep's milk are excellent choices in addition to cow's milk. Good Luck!

Thanks Melanie for taking the time to find out. I was really hoping the flour was white spelt. Thanks again!

I wondered the same thing myself, and the descriptions are vague, so I did my own test. I ordered a 2-pack of red, and a 5 lb. repack of blue. I made identical batches of each, then cooked two identical pizzas, light on toppings, with each of the two flours. They were both excellent and I couldn't say one was better than the other. I will continue to test, but unless something changes, I will probably order the red, because a 10-pack of 2.2 lb. bags is only a little more expensive than a 55 lb. bag of blue (per pound), but it's more convenient for me to store.

I think it is a typo.... the other flavors that do not contain milk have it listed. I looked at everyone of their flavors and the only other ones listed that it contains milk are the obvious ones like the Sour Cream & Onion, Cheddar and Sour Cream...etc nice catch though.

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

The capsules are white. The label states "No: Dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, gluten, soy, sugar, yeast, or artificial colors."

Label doesn't list it. I used it, it turned out ok, but I'm now using plain, Greek yogurt as a starter.

They definitely look different from the usual wafer. They are yellowish in appearance and crisper. There should not be a problem telling them apart. Hope this helps you.

If you just got the grains, then they are still small. Besides that, they are probably still recovering from transit. The instructions I received advised to place the grains in a fresh cup of milk each day for a week or so before recovery. At that point, depending on warmth of the environment, you can consume. But, even then, it may take longer for the kefir to get thick and creamy; it will be a matter of either letting it sit for longer or waiting for the grains to grow. If this is your first time with kefir grains, you may be amazed at how they grow over a few weeks!

My noodles are not black? Perhaps the package some how has been opened and resealed??? The noodles are white that I have and in a watery substance.

I did not see the Circled "K" on my packaging. But I would suggest you check with the maker to see if they may have a Kosher product.

Of course it's gluten free! kefir--both the milk and water types--consist of long chains of polysaccharides (i.e. sugars) and nothing more than what you add to it which would be milk or water and sugar in this case.Edited to say that kefir "grains" are referred to as "grains" only because that's what they look like, not because they're actual grains.
