    Pronunciation guide for kefir from someone who teaches Turkish and Russian students. It’s not /key-fur/ and it’s not /calf-fur/ and it’s not /Kay-fur/. The real way to say it is /ke/ as in “kettle” and the pronunciation of “fear”. So again the pronunciation is ke-fear.

    I’m surprised how well it worked, most people have advised against this! I guess the difference is the store bought kefir has less strains of bacteria compared to kefir made with grains. Life way brand I believe only has 12 strains compared to 50+ strains in the grains

    This is a great method, but store bought kefir only has about 12-15 strains of probiotics. Kefir made from grains has 50+ strains of probiotics. I think the best way to do this is to use a culture started from kefir that was made from grains. This way you end up with a kefir that has alot more probiitics in it.

    My understanding is that 1,000+ years ago, milk was stored in goat-stomach bags, where digestive enzymes helped preserve the milk. I'm guessing that an observant Bedouin noticed the grains, and saved them, producing more grains, with or without the goat stomach… a happy coincidence of the right bacteria & flora at the right time. That's my story, and I'm stickin' with it!

    Thanks! It works great and it is delicious with whole milk. Plain Kefir is $3.79 per quart near me and whole mile is $2.69 a gallon. So can save big just have to buy the single quart of kefir then just add to milk. Will try to use the whole milk kefir in the next gallon of milk – should be ok and saves almost $12 per gallon.

    Grains can be purchased online for $3 and can be frozen. It makes thicker kefir. I freeze portions of the milk liquid and use it in fruit smoothies. Delicious. When you cook milk kefir, the healthy bacteria is killed off.
    The above method is good for making homemade yoghurt as well😊

    750 ml milk : 47 ml kefir
    1333 ml (a bag) milk : 80 ml kefir
    NB: warm up the milk a bit before adding in kefir and wrap the mixture with blanket to keep warm can speed up the fermentation process, but to turn it upside down in 12 hours, and in 24 hours, taste it to see if it is done, then transfer the product to fridge.

    1 US gallon milk = 3785 ml
    uses 1 US cup commercial Kefir = 236.58 ml
    16 ml milk: 1 ml kefir
    750 ml milk : 47 ml kefir
    1333 ml (a bag) milk : 80 ml kefir

    1000 ml kefir ÷ 80 ml kefir = 12.5 bags
