Here's my nightly kefir recipe: 2 cups kefir 2 tablespoons flax seed 2 tablespoons chia seed 2 tablespoons shelled hemp hearts 1 teaspoon fenugreek 1/2 a package sugar free vanilla pudding I ate it every night for one month and my glucose levels dropped to a normal range. The midnight cravings I have been struggling with for one year completely went away and I've lost 5 lbs. I think it tastes amazing and I look forward to my 4 or 5 hundred calorie snack all day long. Before I started doing this I was easily eating over a thousand calories in midnight snacks every night and couldn't stop. I'm so glad I heard about kefir and high fiber. It kills my appetite all night long. I'm finally getting a solid 7 hours of sleep as well.

A possibly easier way to strain the grains is to place the kefir grains into a mesh bag, and plop that into milk (then cover loosely with lid). Once fermentation is complete, remove bag contains grains and drop it into another jar of milk. This avoids the hassle of using a separate strainer. I’m giving this a go this week with a gallon glass jar. I’m just tired of continuing to use a colander, catch bowl, and then washing these material, and thought there has got to be a better and faster way.

@@HealthyFarmLiving … Update. Works best using those mesh/net bags that holds kids toys where the pores are large. Found one at the dollartree. You can probably find them at the grocery store as well. Initially I tried Walmart’s Joie reusable mesh produce bags, but the pores were too small and had to hand squeeze to extract the liquid. With the mesh from the dollar tree, I was able to extract most of the kefir liquid by running a hard straw a few passes over the mesh bag. No longer need a colander, or getting my hands messy, or even washing any straining equipment. Currently using a gallon sized glass container from Target. I keep the straw inside the glass container.

You can make it with ultrapasteurized...still has lactose and because it's ultrapasteurized, it just means there's no competition for your kefir (no other bacteria to compete with it). Caveat: you can't sustain it with that, but it will work temporarily, if you have nothing else.

I don't know that there's a limit on how long the grains can be "re-used" as they continually make new grains. We're still working from the original grains we were gifted back in 2020! They can keep in the fridge for several weeks, but we typically go through a quart in a week. That has stretched into 2 weeks on a few occasions when we've been out of town with no problems.

We have not used that method as we find the fermentation always moves very rapidly for us (typically less than 24 hours except the middle of Winter). As long as there is air in the mix the bugs will do their thing, so I would assume additional airflow would simply speed things up a bit vs affecting the total probiotic count in the end.

We've been drinking Kefir for over a decade, so I don't recall to be honest. However, I would take it slow if you're new to this. Especially if you're changing from a store bought kefir to home made. The home made kefir usually has a LOT more probiotic activity then the store bought versions in my experience.

I'm confused a bit regarding the kefir grains. Firstly are they hard or soft? I ask this because the kefir I currently buy is thick, almost like a yogurt not a liquid like a lot of others (which I don't like). In fact, the grains used in your video look just a bit stiffer than the kefir I buy. I wouldn't want to put this through a sieve because I don't want it all smooth. So how does one make the kind of kefir I buy? (The brand is organic Saugeen Country from Ontario, Canada and I LOVE it.)
@HealthyFarmLiving
@HealthyFarmLiving 7 ай бұрын
The kefir grains are a bit hard and rubbery, which is why they don't pass through the strainer along with the rest of the liquid. As for consistency, I can't speak to the brand you're buying, but you can "adjust" the thickness based on how much you let it ferment. The longer it ferments, the thicker it will become. That being said, check the ingredients on your store bought kefir. It may have a thickening agent (like carrageenan) in it which I've seen in other store brands here in AZ.

Hi. I'm new to kefir. I have a kit but haven't actually made any yet - I have question about batches and resting the grains. It's just me drinking it - and I drink 1 cup per day with breakfast (currently buying it premade but it's way to $$). If a batch takes 12-24hrs, and I need to keep it alive, I'm not sure how to cycle to grains and batches so that I am not wasting it. making way more than i can drink, and not wasting milk with resting it too often! Does anyone have any suggestions. Eg: Do you make a ton of batches all at once over a week and then rest the grains longer? Do you make fewer batches more often and rest the grains shorter??? I guess I need 7 cups per week, which is 2 batches per week in the jar size that I have.
@HealthyFarmLiving
@HealthyFarmLiving 6 ай бұрын
I'm going to do my best to answer, but please follow up if I didn't get this right. We always make 1 quart at at time and typically go through about 5 cups a week (just over a quart). Once we make a quart we have a new one in 12-24 hours that goes into the fridge (keeping the grains in it) until we're finished with the first quart. Then we start the process you see here over again. The quart that has the grains in it while it's waiting to be strained very, very slowly ferments in the fridge until it gets processed. If you think it's going to be several weeks before you get to that second quart you can remove the grains and put them in a smaller jar, cover them with milk and let them slowly ferment until you're ready to use them. One thing to keep in mind is Kefir will store in the fridge for quite some time. We go on vacations from time to time and have had it sit for a few weeks before being used with no issues. I hope this helps!

Drink quart #1 over a few days, strain quart #2 when that's finished and drink quart 2 over a few days. Start grains on quart #3 after straining quart 2.(which would be #1 for the new week) Is that kind of the cycle? And then it just goes on forever...

@HealthyFarmLiving
@HealthyFarmLiving Жыл бұрын
We usually make 1-2 batches every week and are using decedents from the first batch a friend gave us over 2 years ago.

For how long can we put the kefir in refrigerator?

I'm not sure how long it's good to keep in the fridge, but we've had it in the fridge for a couple of weeks before using it with no problems.

We've been making home made Kefir for over 5 years now and have always used a metal strainer with no issues.

Some people here say that don't use iron/steel containers,spoons and filters? Is it OK if we use it?

We have not had any issues with stainless utensils when making Kefir. The amount of time it's in contact with the material is very limited. I wouldn't use iron though.

Yes, we use pasteurized milk every time we make our batches and have no issues. It's been several years with the same original kefir grains and they still ferment really well.

We sure do. We're going on 4 years with no issues using metal strainers and the grains are growing strong still.

What I've read is that you can use coconut milk if it has a high enough fat content, but other milk alternatives tend to starve the kefir. This is just what I've read from guides online, so I can't say for sure from experience

Hmm, I would be curious as to how that's done as well. Given how easy it is to grow and share the cultures you would be hard pressed to find one truly made from scratch.
