Is this powdered starter better than just buying water or milk kefir grains?

It just depends on your needs! This powdered culture is best for beginners, because it's less of a commitment (limited re-culturing rather than infinite) and more versatile, as it makes any type of kefir. However, this kefir isn't as nutrient-dense.

How much kefir can I get from this starter?

It's not an exact science, as it depends on culturing conditions. Generally speaking, each of the 4 included starter packets can culture a quart at a time, with the potential to culture 2–7 more times. Thus the total yield is between 1 and 8 gallons.

How do I "re-culture" with this starter, since there are no grains to strain out?

The powdered culture will indeed dissolve with the first batch; however, you can simply reserve ¼ cup of the previous batch (per quart) and use that as starter for the next one. For best results, start next batch as soon as the previous is finished.

How do I know when it's done?

When dairy milk kefir is finished culturing, it thickens into a similar consistency to heavy cream or drinkable yogurt. Water kefir will become cloudy and less sweet. Finished kefir stays good in fridge for 2–3 weeks.

Can I culture one kind of kefir with another (e.g., use water kefir to make juice kefir)?

For this starter, cross-culturing is not recommended. With kefir grains, you can transfer grains to a similar medium (e.g., water to juice, or milk to coconut milk), but grains should be revitalized with their original substance every few batches.
