Is this a dry culture?

Yes, it is dry powder. You can reculture your kefir up to 7 times. The instructions that come with the culture are really good.

It is dry, but you have to be careful cause it gets everywhere. Suggest filling cartridge outside and wearing a good pair of gloves that can be washed off or laundried

It is Sometimes moist, however it does tend to be chewy like a dry jerky for the most part. Tastes good though.

It's completely tasteless, and dry. So if it goes bad, it seems it would take a really long time. I noticed somebody comment that it give this person "tummy gas". I haven't noticed anything like that and just finished a whole container of it.

You need to let it grow. When I got mine, it was a little flat dab of flour paste. When I opened it, I could smell the sour tang. I followed the directions included with the product, i.e., added water and flour etc., and it grew even faster than they promised. It was a very strong and good culture. It was only a few days before I was able to make bread. This was a few months ago, and my starter is strong and healthy. I keep feeding it and making dough.

Mine seem pretty dry. I'd grind up a test batch and see what you think. If they are sticky let them dry a day or two. Remember you are working with natural materials they vary because nature varies.

I would think that would be the ideal way to use the culture. I could only find pasteurized milk that wasn't homogenized. I would have rather used the raw milk.

You're welcome. Hard and clear is how it should dry. I've had occasion, when I either did not mix exactly 1/2and 1/2 each part ( I measure in 2 side by side little plastic shot glasses from the dollar store) or it might have been the hot humid weather, but it did not harden all the way, and the piece was sticky �

Hi Andrew, I had the same problem. I live in Louisiana, the land of high humidity. I ran a fan in the room and it really took about a week to actually dry. I have done 2 bathrooms and my kitchen. This was the first bathroom I did. Never happened again. My advice is just be patient and give it time.

It's classified as liquid honey, which means it's been pasteurized and filtered. While it's definitely filtered, it is probably not ultra-filtered. There could be some pollen in it, but probably not much.

I think so yes, as it is freeze-dried. Actually, that's a good idea and I think I will try it. We live in Reno where it is SUPER dry...so moisture in the air is not a problem here.

I think the problem is the definition of "wet" and "dry". This fixture is in our bathroom, and we have not had any issues.

Good question. It is still new for me and so far I have only used it dry. Sorry

If it is "sterile", does this mean that the active bacteria is no longer alive? Manuka honey is not supposed to be heated, correct?

There's nothing to indicate otherwise on the bottle. It's not raw though and I assume it's been pasteurized -- it takes a long time for it to crystallize. But you can tell they haven't strained out the pollens, like the stuff from China does, from the taste.

I'm not sure. I know when some of it gets left out it does feel a bit "dry" but once we start playing with it more it feels just like the rest That was packaged. I would just try a little bit of it to give it a test first.
