it is suggested that kefir should be fermented at room temperature,i.e. 20-30C(I think) but my room is a little cold ,about 10C,so I keep kefir in a bottle with warm water,I do not test the temperature of warm water. these pics are caught when 18hr after mixing milk and kefir grain. you can observe that the kefir grain is producing gas.
