kefir storage will they be ok?

[CrunchySeaSalt]

I am away for 2 weeks, so I put my kefir grains in a spaghetti sauce size jar with milk and in the fridge for the duration.

When I return I will dispose of the milk, but since I haven't changed it, will the kefir be ok to use? will they be alive? should I use them and dump a couple jars afterwards until they are back on track (a friend told me to do this)

Help please :shrug3

They will be fine. If your grains ever get an off taste rest them in yogurt for 24 hours and it will reset them.

yep, they'll be ok! :)

They'll be fine but sometimes the first batch or two after a rest may not taste as good. It'll still be safe though, just may be yucky.
