Kim, I think you could prep it as a plain batch, and add the flavor when ready to serve (after you strain it). Though I have heard you can kefir juices, so maybe when you have enough for two separate batches you can experiment with the fruit/milk from inception vs fruit at end and test the juice option as well. Let us know how it goes

From my experience they will be just fine don’t worry, people have told me they forgot about the grains for 2 months and they still work.

Were they sitting in milk? If so, they should be totally fine. Just pour all the contents into your quart size jar and pour over with fresh milk.

Elsy,
I got my kefir grains through this database of local kefir people. http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/kefir/kefirlist.php
I had to pay for mine, they came in goat milk from a goat farmer in my state. It’s easy to transfer grains to a new milk, just takes a couple batches to make the switch. When you buy the grains, they will multiply over time. I’ve posted them on craigslist and got back my initial $30 investment. When I bought them, I split the cost with 2 other friends and we each had a Tbsp to make about 2 cups at a time. Like I said, mine grew great and I was able to sell my extras at $10. The more grains you have (in Tbsp) the more milk you can process at a time.
Hope that helps!

I have been very curious about how to make your own milk kefir grains, any body has an answer to that? how do they start? can I make my own instead of buying them? I would appreciate any one to answer me this ?

You can easily make your own kefir and it is far more nutritious than yogurt and easier too. Check out culturesforhealth.com for kefir grains and directions to get you started. But yes, you can use yogurt to soak your grains.
