Ok have another question I bought the kefir it's the consistency of thicker milk and I got the cheese cloth. Now do I just pour the kefir in the cheesecloth over a glass bowel and put it in the fridge or leave it sitting out? I took the kefir out of the fridge and put it in cheesecloth and it's not straining yellowish whey not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@ChristieNichols - I recommend using whole milk yogurt to make the whey. I buy Straus family Creamery, but any good quality organic whole milk yogurt should work. This is the method I use: Place a strainer over a tall pitcher, then line with a tea towel or a few layers of cheesecloth. Pour the yogurt into the towel and allow to drain for about an hour. Then pull up all four corners of the cloth and secure together with a rubber band. Hang from a cabinet knob and allow to drain into the pitcher..

@ChristieNichols ...on the counter at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until it is no longer dripping. 1 quart of yogurt should make about 2 cups of whey. Hope that helps! - Angie
