I used powdered milk (Birch Tree. It's everybody's milk.) to make Kefir milk for the first time. I used regular milk (Magnolia, Harvey Fresh, etc) before and I assumed same fermenting time. Nope. They fermented much faster. Twice as fast in fact. I almost lost the batch. 
Either the microorganisms are more active now after more "experience" in fermenting, or they just like Birch Tree more. Like junk food.
Wow. Where do you buy kefir grains?
Also, based on our experience, powdered milk spoils faster than regular milk in our kid’s milk bottle
Daughter gave them to me. I think she bought them online
Uy. Kefir, yogurt,kombucha love ko talaga
The secret to yummy kefir cheese? Melt some butter and mix it in. Wait for it to cool though before mixing. Don't want to kill our little friends.
