Newbie advice needed.

Alright, so last post got me the knowledge to get started. I got excited and ordered my live grains from Fusion Tea directly. Yay.

Then I realized they're going to arrive Thursday/Friday. Im leaving town Fri night til Sun night. So....

Before I leave, should I start the first batch, or wait til im back?

Also did make me wonder how to handle the grains when I travel. I go out of town over weekends often, sometimes up to a week. Curious about what to do them while not around.

Thanks for the help again!

Store bought helped, but now want the real thing.

Looking to start as a newbie for homemade Kefir. Store bought was helping so can only imagine how much better I can get. 41m with IBS symptoms and high physical activities.

Is there a highly recommended kit I can buy to get started quicker? Been reading and theres quite a few recommendations on strainers, jar types, and that. My ADD kicks in on new things so trying not to go overboard and buy all these things and not truly need.

Great community here, love all the chats so thank you in advance!

So, I just had to share this. Been struggling with knots for leaders, tackle, etc. Followed many YouTube and articles only to focus more on being calm thinking just gotta practice.

Then I asked someone in the bait shop. Wow. Double Uni, Alberto knots, and even double uni to tackle our cake now. Showed me a slightly different way, then watched me do them.

Should have put my pride aside a while ago. If you're still struggling with knots, head to a bait shop and ask. Hope they are kind cause this guy is my saint now.
