I'm looking to get a hold of Water Kefir Grains but $20 plus shipping seems a bit steep (sopuli.xyz)

Plus if I'd prefer to buy/share locally. Any advice for finding either a local supplier or someone that wouldn't mind giving me a sample of their starter?

Would bottled water kefir be a suitable starter the way unpasteurized bottled kombucha can?

No but I got tibicos on Amazon from a company called Gut Punch and they perked right up and worked great. They were not expensive. I see some in the $12 range now (mine were about $8) and remember you only need a teaspoon or so, they multiply like tribbles.

Maybe. I've never had success that way tho.
