@SHER7067 i have never tried soy, but wiki says this, "In addition, kefir grains will ferment milk substitutes such as soy milk, rice milk, and coconut milk, as well as other sugary liquids including fruit juice, coconut ..."
you might also want to look up "water kefir" and Kombucha. Kombucha uses water sweetened with plain sugar and black tea, but has the same beneficial probiotic benefits. i have never tried water kefir, but we've had kombucha for many years.
Yes, definitely will taste sour. If you leave it for several days it will taste VERY sour, which is an acquired taste that most people don't like. If it gets too sour, mix it in the blender with some fruit, whey powder, or a banana and some milk - tasty.
All looks good, chopstick ideas is good but I hope you're using a wooden/plastic spoon as kefir isn't supposed to be exposed to metal. Thanks for doing video demo and explanation.
@souncivilized No problem....I'm pretty new at this myself but have done a lot of reading up etc. and that was one of the things that was repeated over and over. So it's plastic everything/glass etc..no chlorine. I had a hard time getting real grains so I'm trying to be real careful....so far so good:-)

@souncivilized Hi,
What's the big difference in leaving it for 2 days? I only use 1 day for the ferminting process right now.
Oh, and do you need to put the new batch in a clean jar after preparing?
