This is actually normal for non dairy kefir. Since most nut milks are made with mostly water it separates quite easily. This doesn’t diminish the product in anyway. Stir or shake it up, or blend it into a smoothie. You might want to taste your batch while it’s fermenting. As soon as it sour or tart it is done and should be placed into the refrigerator to keep it from continuing to separate. Coconut milk made from canned milk doesn’t usually separate and stays creamy and thick.
Insulated Packaging & Ice Packs
If it's hot in your area (between 90°-100° F), we recommend having your order shipped with insulated packaging and ice packs.
Here are a few things you should know:
- This will help your cultures stay cool for up to the first 72 hours of travel
- The package usually won't arrive cold
- This is ok, we just don't want your cultures to get too hot along the way (over 100°F)
- If it's hotter than 100° in your area, we recommend not ordering until it cools down.
- You'll still need to be home when the package arrives so you can bring it inside right away
- This shipping add-on doesn't count toward the $99 needed for free shipping
- We recommend selecting UPS Next Day Air or UPS 2nd Day Air for shipping.
