Scott from Zukay here. The culture I speak of (Yo'Kefir) is just a culture - it has only a tiny, tiny bit of dairy in it. If you use actual kefir, the milk solids can very easily give the ferment an off-flavor.The same would go for the whey you take off of store-bought yogurt (unless you drain well using a cheesecloth). If I'm mistaken on your question and you mean the kefir grains, they may work, but I have never done a vegetable fermentation with kefir grains. I believe there's more to a kefir grian than just bacteria (there may also be yeasts and such, like a kombucha mother, though I'm not sure), so honestly, I have no idea. If you have extra kefir grains, it couldn't hurt to try - Hope that helps! Hey there! Scott from Zukay here.
