Re: Kefir recipes, tips, tweak, and general Q & A
You can use it if you soak grains before cooking (usually a few Tbsp. of whey for ever 2 cups of water--can't remember the exact ratio recommended but I usually eye-ball it). If you make homemade mayonnaise, adding 1 Tbsp. of whey for every cup of mayo will make the homemade mayo last for 6 months instead of 2 weeks (let it sit on the counter for 7-12 hours before refrigerating it). It's called for in fermented salsa . It's supposed to be very good for the elderly as well.
It's also useful to speed up the fermentation of homemade sauerkraut. |

Re: Kefir recipes, tips, tweak, and general Q & A
does cooking kill off the good stuff like it does with other ferments?

Re: Kefir recipes, tips, tweak, and general Q & A
I have to say this thread has inspired me to start making kefir again! Where can I get grains, though? Last time I lived in a different state and the farmers that we got milk from shared some of their grains with us. I don't know anyone locally who makes kefir (well...I don't know very many people locally so that's probably why!). If I order from online somewhere will it still be a strong culture and work just like the grains I had before?
