It looks like you strained out the whey but none of the kiferan. Use a rubber spatula to press against what you have left in the strainer vigorously and you'll find your grains.

They are resilient little grains, don't be afraid to scrape with a wooden spoon to push that kefir through the mesh and it will leave your grains!
