Does anyone else make Kefir? I love it and have been making it since Aug so I guess I am hooked. Its so easy to make and the taste is wonderful. The family won't give it a try so all the more for me. Jus wondering if anyone else out there make their own.
I also make my own Kombucha Tea. The won't try that either. lol.

I wish someone around here had an extra Kombucha mushroom so I could start making my own - it is sooo good! I've also had real kefir before, it is very common in Croatia as a breakfast item. The only kefir they sell in the stores around here are all flavored with fruits (and lots of sugar). I'm sure the natural stuff is much healthier.

I totally agree with you all. If I could just get some good Kefir or some Kombucha Tea I would be a happy man...............not really; I ain't got a clue what either of them are, I just liked the way the words sounded and decided to toss in some wordy coverup to allow me to use them.

I made kefir for awhile but it got a bit expensive and out of control because it just kept growing! I went through way too much milk so now I just buy it at the store. A copout I know, but it works for now.

You have to ruthless and cull your kefir! lol Give it away, eat it, turn it into water kefir. I know how much I need and that's it. Kefir works for me! mwah haha!!

greetings liz,
your message was dated back in March. Just found it & am wondering if you ever got started making kefir from goat milk? I just made my first batch of (cow milk) kefir & am still figuring it out. Years ago I had an Alpine dairy goat (Betty) who milked out almost a gallon a day. I was wondering about goat milk kefir. If I could get raw goat milk I'd like to try making kefir from it. Do you make any goat cheese? I wish I had gotten more into making cheese when I had Betty. I used to give the excess milk to the neighbors pig (who loved it!). I have learned to love goat cheese, especially the local feta. Cheers...Bon

Default Kefir

Yes, I do make Kefir and love it. I'm looking for 'mother' kefir grains that someone has to share. I will be sharing mine as soon as I can get enough.
I did make the Kombucha but stopped because the high sugar content didn't agree with me. Good stuff, tho.
You can call me at 970-231-1200 if you have any to share, or I will be happy to purchase them as well

Does anyone else make Kefir? I love it and have been making it since Aug so I guess I am hooked. Its so easy to make and the taste is wonderful. The family won't give it a try so all the more for me. Jus wondering if anyone else out there make their own.
I also make my own Kombucha Tea. The won't try that either. lol.[/quote]
