Raw Milk Kefir And Russia

[@kflan3342]

raw milk kefir is amazing! Yogurt has 3-5 strains of probiotics and it is transitory whereas kefir has 30-50 strains and colonizes your gut. Best thing ever! BTW, your grains look amazing!

[@lubamishchenko5520]

I was on 3 types of heavy duty antibiotics for a year and a half fighting Lyme diseases. Drank kefir everyday. It definitely protected me from the negative effects of antibiotics.

[@ivanmiller383]

You are the BEST at explaining how to make kefir. Plus, you are a political conservative, just like I am! Thank you!

[@brucegustafson8382]

i put my kifer grains into heavy cream and in two days i churn it into butter. so i get cultured butter and buttermilk.

[@coopie624]

I plan to make this soon! I love my milk kefir!

[@boawo]

The correct way to make ghee is through cultured butter They use yogurt though. I have to try kefir ghee though.

Hello from Russia ! that is right we love it here that kefir. Really healthy and tasty !!

[@van123446]

I'd like to add a few suggestions, if I may. First, if you have a place to keep the kefir warmer than room temp, say closer to 80 degrees you will have a higher percentage of bacteria than yeast. Yeasts grow better at room or lower temps. Just my preference. Second, the grains usually settle to the bottom of the jar during the process. those grains really aren't that efficient at drawing down the lactose in the milk that sits at the top of the jar. Hence a few stirs during the 24 hours or longer, will help distribute the lactose closer to where the grains can get a hold of it. And third, I would recommend a strainer with a bigger sieve. Yours shown appeared so small that you needed to use your spatula with some effort. Most grains are medium to large size which get filtered out just fine with a large sieve. and, I do appreciate what you showed. Kefir is really the best. For those who can tolerate a bit of lactose,, mixing fresh milk with thick Kefir results in a drink that pretty much tastes and feels like you're drinking cream. worth a try.

[@Maryellengray]

Kefir grains float to the top. I keep yeast out by putting a lid on it. Yeast is in the air. Kefir doesn’t need oxygen.

[@Jerseyhighlander]

You can add all kinds of fresh fruit among other things and let it ferment the fruit too. (After the grains are strained out) To the half gallon mason jar I add, 3 Tbs pure maple syrup, 1 Tbs Vanilla Extract and a mashed up banana. Other times, when Blueberries are in season, blend em up and toss in a whole cup. Strawberries awesome too.

[@thevictoriakent]

It's from the area what is now day Georgia. It's a water mushroom. A fungi. It is found in the rivers. No one made them haha. They just picked them out of the river.

I find the facts about making kefir grains so unbelievable. Thanks for sharing. Praying for you and Jaimie.

[@maryc4804]

Kefir, is fantastic. It has been a staple in my family and my Mastiff gets it too.

[@nanadanarocks]

I add smashed bananas to mine when I put it in the fridge. Then strain that out a day later and 💥 banana yogurt!! I love it!

[@nanadanarocks]

Sojourner I heard that blending the probiotics kills the living organisms. Not sure at all if that’s true🙈🙈😊 my grandkids live it too!

[@nanadanarocks]

Sojourner good to know! I always have extra grain!! Glad I can blend them! Thinking of blending them into salad dressings!!

[@TheKing-vv8xq]

The origin of kefir is turkic. They discovered it 5000 years ago. Russian know ot just for 100 years. Our ancestors come from somewherr between russia and china. That's why russian people know that because some turkic people still live there. Kefir word origin is keyif. That's mean joy. When people have stomach problems drink it and they feel better. That why they call like that.

Mmmm, raw milk kefir. Good stuff I'm sure!

[@coopie624]

Have you ever done a second fermentation on your kefir? I always do and it is so thick and delicious! I use just a tiny bit of inulin or some fruit for my second fermentation.

[@denisestone8491]

[@nsynergy2313]

I grew up in Russia (Republic of Lithuania) and my grandparents and my parents and I always made kefir from milk we purchased from our neighbor's milk cow or another neighbor's milking goats. All we did was left a jar (covered with cloth) of Raw, 100% Grass Fed milk on a kitchen counter for 24-48 hours and Voila you have a fresh made kefir or also we called it "Sour milk". It is same thing. However, in modern world people do not have access to Raw milk, 100% grass fed, therefore, you can not naturally ferment modern store bought milk, which is highly processed, DEAD product. That is why people have to buy a Kefir grains in the package to make homemade kefir from commercial milk even if it is Organic pasteurized milk.

[@vadimdikhtyar3687]

Yeah I grew up in Ukraine and Kefir always came with clumps

[@adhikariindia]

Very true

[@adhikariindia]

Did u heat the milk?

[@Alexandra_Indina]

You mean USSR, not Russia))

[@PalinaZ]

No, you didn't make Kefir. That's called clabber milk and is a different way of fermenting milk. Clabber is also healthy and consumed from all over the world. Kefir is a special symbiosis of bacteria and yeast fungi that doesn't grow by just letting milk go sour.

[@1MSally1965]

Cultures for health is the BEST quality grains! I bought some off Amazon and EBay and they were no good. Get the best the first time!!

[@lucretiawrolstad3997]

Love the collusion!!

[@mbor6372]

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I don't think my first comment was saved. Have you tried "baked milk"? The milk is cooked at low temperature to caramelize sugars - you can drink it as is, or you can ferment it and make "ryazhenka". See kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWbdnndtmbh9r5I - the video is in Russian but auto-translated English subtitles are adequate. Also note that temperatures are in Celsuis. She uses 2L of milk and then adds 0.15-0.2 L of sour cream for fermentaiton

I had a friend tell me about his grandma making this. I now understand so much better. Thank you.

I made coffee kefir, delicious! Courage, Barbara in Maine

[@kimberlyalexander6134]

How do you make coffee kefir?

[@bbnorthofnowhere4761]

@@kimberlyalexander6134 I use water kefir grains make the kefir as directed. Remove the water kefir grains and start another batch with the grains. To each quart of water that you have, you are going to make a second fermentation. This will make a fizzy coffee drink that is lightly carbonated because of the second bottling allows more fermentation gases to build up. Allow for this in the vessel you do the second fermentation in. Taste to see how much coffee flavor you like by tasting it and adding more coffee if you need it. Check it every few days and enjoy this fizzy adult "soda" I use grolsch style bottles because they are easy to open and close. Leave at least 1 inch or more of head space... be sure to check bottles for cracks as this weakens the integrity of the bottle. In warm weather, check more often and burp the bottles at least once a day as fermenting in warm weather speeds the process. You can put the bottles in the frig after they are fizzy. Please be careful opening as the contents will be under pressure. Mix the coffee and kefir water to your taste. Everyone is different how strong they like the coffee taste. ENJOY!

I was just sitting down to enjoy some raw A2 milk kefir and this video popped up. I let mine go for 24 hours but use a lot less milk so winds up about the same. I was wondering if you have advice on how much to drink. I have never been able to find anything much on that. I love it but figure you can overdo anything...even something good.

[@kflan3342]

I was advised by a naturalist to begin easy (to prevent rapid yeast and bad bacteria die off) at 1 TBL per week and double each week up to 1 cup daily.

[@emsdiy6857]

I think this is my opinion when I listen to the history of waterkefir grains I believe that they are in a descendant of that

[@Maryellengray]

Kefir grains have been around since biblical times.

[@maryhumphrey1470]

Just for the sake of information no metal. Use a nylon strainer. I know a 86 year old lady who is very spry swears by her daily kefir.

[@EchoCanyonRanch1]

I know that some websites say to use no metal and that's what I did for years, but then I was told it doesn't make any difference. Donna Schwenk who has written several books on cultured foods and drinks kefir every day and travels the country speaking about cultured foods also said she uses metal. I've been using a metal strainer for a long time now and I've never had any problem whatsoever.

[@willowwhyte1104]

@maryhumphrey1470 The issue is: do not use metal that leaches. So, no aluminum, no copper, no iron, etc. It is fine to use stainless steel. It doesn’t leach/rust/breakdown from the acidity of the fermentation.

[@romanftt]

How long does raw milk kefir last? raw milk normally last 3 days max. if i ferment it for like 1-2 days I only have 1 day to drink it all?

[@sharonweston5659]

Raw milk doesn’t go bad, it just changes over time. My raw guernsey milk smells fine for two weeks or more. I just recently used raw milk that had been in the fridge for two weeks and smelled like stinky socks to set out on the counter to clabber. After 24 hours, the stinky smell was gone and it tasted fine and had the texture of loose yogurt. Raw milk kefir, plain and strained of grains, will last in the fridge for who knows how long, but 6 months for sure, and taste fine. There is a lot to know about this subject, and a few books you can read on fermenting that are very helpful.

[@emsdiy6857]

The history is they come from the caucus mountains they date back thousands of years in the Russians wanted it for people that were sick mostly with tuberculosis there's fascinating history about it

[@AV-uv3jz]

Do you have to use pasteurized milk or boiled fist? just like when you make normal yogurt otherwise the milk with start going bad being left out of the fridge??

[@LarsMith217]

Some people are taking iodine supplements. Some consider it an antibiotic. Some people who've been taking antibiotics, take kefir to repopulate and recolonize their gut with probiotics. I'm wondering which is likely to "win" in this battle between Iodine, as an antibiotic, with kefir, as being very much probiotic.

[@thevictoriakent]

Raw milk is great. You want something super tasty? Do a second ferment with mixing boiled fresh milk without skimming then mix some fresh kefir.

[@MyHomesteadEducation]

How much kefir do you guys drink as a serving? How long does 1/2 gallon last in your family? Do y'all add anything to it for additional flavor?

[@Anamericanhomestead]

1/2 a gallon goes fast these days...maybe 2 -3 days tops. Nothing for flavor. Jaimie and I like it just the way it is. Some people add stevia.
