Kefir-based Business

[Anonymous No.50203405]

Anons, I want to start a business shipping verifiably secure kefir grains and fresh kefir. I get about 7tbsp per week. What's the best way to sell and make enough to scale up a little?

Nice cottage cheese bro can I eat some?

Don't use metal for straining kefir. It leaks into the kefir.

>kefir.
had to google it so the american market wouldnt be good, but maybe find a seller in your area and hook up with them as a supplier?

Those are the fermenting cultures, cottage cheese comes 12hrs later

>>50203446
It's stainless steel, short periods of contact are alright. I'd never store them in metal

Based fermented milk enjoyer. Can you send me some?

[Anonymous No.50203801]

Is this the /kefir/ General?

What should I do with all the extra grains? Or if I'm going on vacation a week and I can't strain my batch?

[Anonymous No.50203822]

Is this garloid smegma? I didn’t know they produce this much…

Put them in milk and refrigerate. It'll slow down fermentation. A week is nothing when these jumpy bois are cold.

[Anonymous No.50203911]

How are you supposed to ship dairy without spending a fortune packing everything in insulated containers and dry ice? You will always be undercut by local sellers.

[Anonymous No.50203926]

>>50203911
You don't need to worry about spoilage. As long as the grains have some oxygen and food, they'll easily live in a sealed container for a week or more.

Intredasting. Do you think kefir is due to go viral? I went looking for it in my supermarket thanks to a recent thread in /ck/ but couldn't find any.

Maybe this is my chance to get in on the ground floor.

It's turned into a trendy thing so you see it in health stores more nowadays, but the store bought stuff isn't the real deal. The best way to make kefir is with raw nonhomogenized milk that hasn't had most of its cream removed.

Based. I love kefir but I'm not sure how profitable it is. Once you obtain a small amount of grains, they are endlessly self replicating so you never need to buy them again. Competing with the brands that already exist would be difficult I think. Normies don't care that its not the real stuff, and if you try to sell raw milk kefir you will run into regulation issues as well as the fact that raw milk costs $18/gallon right now

[Anonymous No.50205267]

>>50205162
Yah fuck this though. I was going through a gallon of milk almost every two days

Let it go, then make a cheese. Separate the whey with cheesecloth

did you not read any instructions before doin this?

[Anonymous No.50207548]

>>50203801
>1part water, 2parts milk, put it in the fridge
should give you about 3 weeks before they die off
or just freeze them, would take longer to reach their full potential tho

Sell the grains and others products related to kefir such as cheese. Don't start worldwide immediately, start local imo. Farmers markets are a good option.

I just finished drinking kefir. Never made my own before though.

[Anonymous No.50210240]

I make my own. I only need to use 2 cups of milk a day, and when I end up with excess grains, I just eat them. I usually do a second fermentation with lemon, orange, or apple/cinnamon stick.
Most normies want to drink shit from the store, which is loaded with extra sugar and other bullshit, and it's not even produced from kefir grains--it's made from adding different powdered probiotics from scratch into some milk. Sure, might be the same organisms, but in the end it's not true kefir from the grain.
True kefir made at home tastes sour unless you do a second fermentation, and even then, most people I've offered it to think it's gross.
Normies just want to have drinkable yogurt and feel like they're superior for doing so; so maybe focus on something like that if you want to make money.

no idea where youre from but everyone in easteurope knows kefir (maybe not by "kefir" exactly but you get the idea)

its only westerners who are too pussy to drink it. theyre all used to eat sweet shit. look at germany, they have mustard which is almost 40% sugar and the call it the best mustard ever.

I make bulgarian kefir at home and it makes you seethe. Your vaporware scam bags got obliterated by Sergey and the team dumping 700k on your head and then your bags got DP'd and deep throated by big-dicked Bulgarians that manipulated the price as much as they wanted, and the LINK team knew it was happening. Meanwhile you sit at home with your limp cock in your hand posting 'how can I make kefir' on 4chan like an impotent retard. I just checked the price, LINK is below 7 dollars AGAIN. It's the same price it was in July 2020. Nearly 2 years later and it's still the same price HAHAHAHA. Keep posting your cope about 'muh kefir' though. You bagheld and missed the greatest bullrun in history. You will never have a chance to make kefir now so easily in this life. You had 2 years to sell. 2 whole years.

tf are you on? i dont even have link lol

>>50203405
you want to do it legal or grey market?
I dont know what the regs are in your locality, my first thought is either go through ebay and try to develop a retail customer base or stack your kefir while you work on finding wholesale buyers.
food is a hard racket if you haven't managed the regulatory compliance, I think
but maybe it's easier once you jump that hurdle

How the fuck does one get into drinking kefir? Is it even a drink? You can't drink that clumpy shit?

Gotcha. And yeah, I'm American, kek. Everyone I know acts disgusted when I tell them about it and get them to try it out. The only luck I've ever had was blending a bunch of blueberries into it before offering some.

You get some kefir grains, which are a SCOBY. Then you put it in a jar and fill it with milk, put a cloth over it, and let it sit at room temperature for a day. Then you pour it over a filter into another jar. Retrieve the ''grains'' out of the filter, and start another jar. Drink from the jar you poured into, or put a piece of fruit into it, secure it with a lid, and let it sit for another day so the sourness will tone down, and the drink will become lightly carbonated. Then you can drink it. I prefer to refrigerate my second fermentation before drinking it.

Just buy at the store.
Depending on the country there'll be fruity ones as well if you don't like the natural taste.
