I love making fermented foods at the farmhouse. Sauerkraut, water kefir, kimchi and my all time favorite, milk kefir. I think you will be surprised at how easy it is to make. It requires no special tools, and just involves straining the beneficial bacteria or "grains" from the milk and starting again. Watch this video as I share how to make milk kefir with a simple tutorial.

Hate that I had to waste 2 gallons of pasteurized whole milk to wake them. But it'll all be worth it in the end. I really need it for myself and my granddaughter sometimes just will not eat. So I figured it'll help both of us to get what we need and not change our habits of not eating.

I have heard it pronounced many ways and I love the way you pronounce kefir. I got kefir grains a few days ago. I too use local raw milk, have for years. I put the kefir grains that were very small into the milk and I found it over fermented, separated a little into curds and whey. My family was not a fan of it but I was not going to throw it away. I went on line and read about mixing a little yogurt whey back into it to bring it back, it worked and I put it in a blender to get that smooth consistency. I still think there is a slight off taste even though it was just over the 24 hour ferment time. Maybe like you said the kefir grains are adjusting to raw milk. When I contacted the company I bought the grains from, their solution was to boil the milk.....right....destroy the good beneficial bacteria. Anyway, do you have any other suggestions??????

You mentioned that it is not a good idea to keep multiple ferments in close proximity so the bacteria doesn't interact with each other. Does that still apply when they are ready to be put in the fridge? If yes, what do you do when you have multiple ferments ready to store in the fridge (say, sauerkraut and sourdough starter)?

I would buy multiple refrigerators. Just kidding, IMHO the risk of cross contamination among fermented products is incredibly low. I'd be more concerned about handling the grains with bare hands. Various bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites are found on the skin of normal healthy humans.

@@JNYC-gb1pp i used probably 2/3 the $5 jug of lifeway kefir in a gallon of milk (i poured that amount of milk into another jug first to allow space for the kefir. My house is generally 67-69 degrees and i left it for 12 hours before i noticed the first signs of seperation from the top. (Cool it's working!....i did note a slight sour milk smell but continued to leave it) So after 48 hrs i tasted it. It was getting there! After 8 more hrs, 56 total, i decided that was brave enough for me and put it in the refeigerator. At that point it tasted almost the same as the original starter kefir but honestly i reccommend 10-24 MORE hours, as i left it out for 24 more hrs after drinking some because it tasted too "weak". I used whole milk but i wanted a richer thicker more sour cream/ buttermilk flavor. I am very happy with this until i find rich people milk! Lol. But seriously this kefir is better than drinking NO kefir. And i can't wait to try it in cornbread or banana bread! But I'm making hella tamales today Donna mentioned it being a weaker starter. Judjing by taste very true BUT that just means don't skimp on starter liquid and give it a little more time! I brew kombucha so i applied similar brew tactics. Also, i just left the milk cap loose on the jug to do it's thing but next time will use cloth as that may have affected the airflow and therefore contributed to longer fermentation

Thanks so much for sharing how you make the kefir. I was wondering, you mentioned that you ferment the grains in the milk anywhere from 24 to 48 hrs., depending on the temperature in your house. I notice you do only 1 ferment. When I do it I separate the grains from the milk after 24 hours, then take that fermented milk & put it in a clean jar & allow it to go through a 2nd ferment for another 24 hrs. That would be a total of 48 hrs but going through a 2 ferment process. That's just the way I learned. I was wondering if I just let mine ferment for 48 hrs without going through the 2nd ferment, do you think it would turn out ok? But I also noticed yours look way more creamy than mine. Probably because I don't use raw milk. I'd love to try raw milk but as much as we use it I probably couldn't afford to do it. Anyway, I'd appreciate to hear what you say about 2nd ferments. Thanks again

I know this is an old comment, but thought I would answer anyways… You can use pasteurized milk, you just want to make sure it’s not ultra pasteurized. If it is ultra pasteurized then there will not be enough nutrients to support the kefir. But using kefir is supposed to be a great way to add nutrients back in to milk that has been pasteurized if that is all you have access to. 🙂

Okay, Lisa - I have three more questions (sorry!): 1) I think you said your farmhouse sink is IKEA, yes? But I don't see them having a farmhouse sink with the deviated lines like yours in the back, towards your kitchen windows. I like that feature! 2) Where did you get the drying rack that fits INTO said IKEA farmhouse sink? LOVE that instead of taking up much needed counter-space! 3) After making my kefir, do I put in the fridge with the mason jar lid on TIGHTLY, or LOOSELY??? Thanks!!!!

1. I think they discontinued the sink 😩😩2. This one was from Walmart I believe. 3. When you store it in the fridge put the lid on tightly.

I’m expecting a shipment of my kefir grains tomorrow. I will be using raw milk as well. Does the milk have to be room temp or does it not matter? Thank you for the video..I am so excited to begin my family’s journey!

Do you just shake the whey back into your kefir or try to pour it off?

How long does the finished product you put into the fridge last? I think that is the most important information that you left off.

It starts to get pretty sour tasting after a week. The beneficial bacteria preserve it, so it can be consumed later, but the taste might not make you want to.

Hello, thank you for sharing. Does it matter if one uses a regular canning ring lid or a plastic lid when making Kefir?

To make kefir you do not need to look for grains. Buy a kefir bottle from the supermarket, put in the milk and within 1-2 days is ready. That's it! Try it!

I bought some organic kefir from costco recently. To me it tasted like an unflavored yogurt drink. A bit sour but with a squeeze of honey, quite good. Is kefir much different than yogurt?

Hi thank you very much for an informative video. Do you need to use glass jars with plastic lids or is a metal lid ok?

Is 4oz of kefir grains a lot? Is that enough to start a culture and how much cups of kefir will that usually make? Thank you? Also if you start a culture with goat milk can you switch to cow’s milk?

Thank you, Lisa for the great information. It's my first time making Kefir milk and I strained it after 24 hours, but now that I see your video again I realize it was barely fermented. What should I do with this milk. I have already placed the kefir grains into another jar with fresh milk. Is the original milk damaged or is it still good?

It is totally fine to drink! Just leave it a little longer next time if you want it thicker. Kefir is really hard to mess up! ;)

Hi! My daughter tried to make kefir with raw milk. However, she was successful at making what looks like cottage chees (with large curds). Any idea as to what she did wrong?
