Funny, there's a letter in Veggie Life winter 2005-2006 about this. Here's the answer.

"The author tells us that regular kefir grains can be used with vegan milks (soy, coconut, almond, etc.) and with good results. The only drawback is that the beneficial bacteria will die off rather than multiply indefinitely, the way it does in dairy milks. This means that you can't keep making kefir using the vegan kefir you've made as a starter for your next batch. Incubation time may also be reduced when compared to dairy."

Hope this helps.
