Put the grains in a clean quart jar. Add fresh milk and put the lid on loosely. Let it set for 12-24 hours. <br /><br />We no longer have access to a cow for raw milk, but drink non-homogenized, low temp pasteurized milk right now. Raw milk is completely safe. You can read more about raw milk at www.realmilk.com or the WAPF site.frugalhsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272066404770195925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137811022326206127.post-51926345261728115372011-03-27T20:03:34.543-07:002011-03-27T20:03:34.543-07:00I have a couple of questions...

And when you let the kefir ferment what temperature should it be kept at?<br /><br />You said you make kefir with raw milk... is that safe? How does that work exactly?<br /><br />Also, how much kefir grains would you recommend someone just starting out buy?Kate {The Parchment Girl}http://parchmentgirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137811022326206127.post-84117496654097633392011-01-04T05:57:26.644-08:002011-01-04T05:57:26.644-08:00Milk kefir feeds on lactose.

While you could put some grains in coconut milk, I don't think they can grow in that and you would need to strain them from the coconut milk and keep them in regular milk. You could try water kefir grains. You may have better success with that. They are a completely different type of kefir and feed on sugar.frugalhsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272066404770195925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137811022326206127.post-81293974351929500962011-01-03T22:00:12.552-08:002011-01-03T22:00:12.552-08:00I'm really seriously planning on trying this, ...I'm really seriously planning on trying this, but despite having read it, I'm still... mystified. If I have this straight, I can buy kefir grains, then put them in coconut water (instead of milk, I've watched videos of it done with coconut water), and then... I let it sit. I drink most of it. That much I get. But then I can keep the rest to culture further? Do I let it sit out some more to culture it more...? I guess I would right, once mixed with the new batch? Sounds... too awesome to be true.Raederlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388803926470907739noreply@blogger.com
