Re: How do you make kefir?
If it tastes really gross I wouldn't use it at all but as you follow Lisa's suggestion about running several batches through to get to where it's more palatable, you might consider using it in baking once it's strong but not gross. If I leave a batch a little long and it's tarter than we like, I use it in place of buttermilk or milk in baked goods. I use it so much I don't even buy baking powder anymore. I just use baking soda in conjunction with kefir.

Re: How do you make kefir?
I finished fermenting my first batch of kefir and poured it into another jar. It's been on the counter for 2 hours now and it looks like some very small grains passed through my mesh strainer or something, because I see what appears to be a layer of white grains (just very small) at the bottom of the bottle. Normal?

Re: How do you make kefir?
Go grains! Love that they were sitting on my counter last week and now you're feeding them
That is really nice to hear re: metal strainers. I'd been avoiding them bc I'd read it's important to, but since y'all have used them just fine, I'm gonna go for it. |

Re: How do you make kefir?
Thank you again for sending them! I'm having fun looking up recipes. I'm going to try ginger root beer next. DH loves root beer, so maybe he'll like this. And, he's just been hit by a tummy bug so he needs some probiotics.
