Great tip on pouring the new milk through the strainer. I started my kefir journey putting a lid on tight but on one video they used a coffee filter with a rubber band around it. I tried it and my kefir is so much thicker now. I put a lid on when I do the second fermentation.

1:30 On peut manger les grains, il y a encore plus de probiotique que dans le lait de kéfir.

How to buy kefir grains

can i use the full cream milk? or fresh milk only?

Thanks

I do my butter milk like this

A rubber spatula is a wonderful invention.😉

Takes to long this video. Put the grains I a char ,top it with milk and put it in the fridge...it can hold for 6 months or longer

I would be afraid to buy grains from a stranger

Stolen from India

Organic milk at my nearest grocer is now $15 a gallon. FJB

I've just started my first batch of Kefir. It's actually my first attempt. So obviously I've been all over RU-vid to see the best way to proceed. After watching dozens and dozens of videos. I must congratulate you on your easy to follow concise and professional instruction that you presented in your video. With your approach, you have removed all the mystery and missgivings a first time Kefir maker like me had. I must have watched at least 15 videos concerning double fermenting. You made it so easy and concise. I don't need to look elsewhere. I am now a subscriber and am following your RU-vid site. Thank you so so much for your time in making this video and also making it so easy to follow.

Rinsing the strainer with milk is a great idea. Thank you.

I always eat the grains. I add it to my kefir smoothies.

Thanks For Sharing!

Here's a hint... Do not pamper your grains, they will survive in spite of you so stainless steel, plastic seives dont matter. Do throw away Kefir from reawakening grains. They are good for consumption too. Waste not.

I've seen kefir made by buying from the shop and adding a small amount to a jar of milk. It will set as normal.

Mam, i know it is 7 year old video !!! I have one doubt...you mentioned you keep the the kefir grains with milk in the fridge to save them, but not making kefir in the fridge, and keep changing the milk every 7 to 10 days; after that 7 to 10 days, can you drink that milk or do you throw away and fill new milk ?

Many thanks for making this video.

Why does everyone say it doesn’t like metal? This is some made up bologna. I pluck my grains with a fork out of the jar every day and they are growing great and making nice and creamy kefir

And I don’t know why my grow very slow?

I’m going out of country for a couple month,can I freeze Kefir?

Do not wash grains in water, instead use the next next batch of milk to clean grains by stirring vigorously

She does not show the final result......very bad

Lo hice con platanos quedó genial😊

This is a really good video there's so little useful info on this on RU-vid, thank you.

Also, thank you. I wish I’d said thank you first. I bought some Jillmo airlock lids and due to you and your video have finally gotten up the courage to give this a go. I’ve never been a cook or anything so hopefully it ends up tasty.

Instead of mustard seed can I use ground mustard seed? Wondering if it will make a difference in consistency.

How long can we keep the kefir in the fridge? Can we freeze it then use it again 3months time? What is the kefir grain made of? I cannot find this information. Is this a plant or what is?

You can rinse the kefir grains with the regular water and use a clean jar. I’ve had my grains for the last three years and they are healthy and grow well.

My kefir grains are getting smaller and crumbling. How do I make them grow?

Lovely video and to the point ❤

good point, make kefir in room temperature, store the grains in the fridge for 7-10days

I’ve been told that when doing the first fermentation to NOT close the lid. But for the second fermentation you do close the lid.

don't be hard on them treat them with respect and gently they are beautiful

I had a thick layer of film grow on top of mine while in fridge. What is that. And started growing some mold. I just pulled it off. But???

Been wanting some kefir grains but no one has any.

Where can I get the kefir grains which would be good and working?

Its nice but its not pronounced "mobil" The words is pronounced MOE- BEAL, just saying :)

Glad i found this video i just used kefir grains for the 1st time couldnt figure out y my kefir was so yeasty during the 2nd fermentation but its also thin which i dont like at all its like water.

I make kefir with one of those starter packets or with spoonfuls from the store-bought kefir either way I don`t have the lumps developing and it is like yoghurt! Where can I get the Kefir pilz or fungi from? ps. The store-bought kefir has no lumps either.

Does the grains need to be rinsed every so often,been drinking for several weeks now developed diarrhea for the past couple of days don’t know if it’s kefir related

I got busy with other stuff and I had my grains in pint jar with milk and strained the grains with same strainer and added milk and the kefir (kuh-fear) and was no difference that they sat totally ignored for almost 2 years in back of fridge not in freezer. The kefir that sat the 2 years did not smell or look or seem bad I did dump it to be on safe side.

They are definitely Chinese. The poem on the fan describes a bamboo house in the woods and fishes swimming in the stream, both give a feeling of cool relief in the summer, goes well with the fan.

Thank you very precise information I’ve been needing for a long time! 💕

Hi, I'm on a ketogenic diet 3 years, And I've been making and drinking milk kefir for two years now, Here is a challenge, I did not find online : how to make high fat kefir & how to make high fat cheese kefir ? I would be happy if you prepare a guide on this subject, And is it even possible ? thank you very much

Knock on wood? How about saying "thank God".

Screwing top on tight is a mistake. If you forget to release the gases it can explode.

Stainless works fine for me. Plastic in our bodies is a big problem in many ways.
