How to make kefir - RAW -

[olensiin1]

You only do it twice a year? How do you store your grains in between?

[backyardsounds]

I can never get my kefir that thick. I've only let it go for 24 hours or so, - that might be it.

i like the kombucha next to it!

touching anything metal to these grains can deactivate / kill them. Including metal spoons, containers or strainers.

[yardsnacker]

@LisaDianeRN Thanks for that, but I can assure you, I've been using this metal strainer and stainless steel bowl for 4 years now to do this. My kefir is healthy, robust and doing quite well, thank you very much.

[LisaDianeRN]

@yardsnacker Well, maybe it's not true, what they say about it touching metal. Everyone says if it comes in contact with metal it will kill it or deactivate it. Stainless steel must be okay, else yours would have long ago died.

[MephistophelesMyLord]

@LisaDianeRN Stainless steel is not a reactive metal, so it's fine. Aluminum and other reactive metals are what you have to watch out for.

Where did you get your grains?

you have a good speaker voice -- pls do one on water kefir also

[shoooshify]

You should use plastic food grade containers instead of iron one.

I've been trying to make this but mine never thickens to that point! Do you shake yours every so often to mix it all?

[yardsnacker]

@tamtbell Hey just let it go another day, it will thicken up! You can even let it go longer but it will be more tangy and be more powerful.

thanks for sharing your method for culturing kefir ...wait ...the title is 'make' kefir ...uhoh ...I'm curious to know is 'make' or 'culture'

[PlanetVerdia]

What is it made of? Where did you buy it?
