Hi there,

I've decided I want to make kefir, to aid my digestive and candida issues.

I'm trying to work out how to make it.

According to instructions here:

http://bodyecology.com/digestive-health-kefir-starter.html

I just mix my milk of choice with the starter (is the starter a grain? How is kefir ancient then?). And then let it ferment at 72-75F. This temperature is around room temperature isn't it? How do I ensure it is at this temp? Do I need to use an oven n thermometer to be sure?

After a day or so this makes a thick-ish liquid which you then refrigerate, and THEN you take the kefir from this somehow. What happens then?

I remember you saying you make this Rise - any suggestions?

Thanks,
Carl.

Hi Carl

I have never made my own Kefir. Sorry- maybe you thought you read that you can make your own Kefir. I doubt I would ever attempt this on my own.
