United StatesEasy Peasy from Pat
I just followed the easy directions and used a simple thermometer to test the exact temperature of my milk before adding the kefir culture. I am looking forward to tasting the results. The execution of making this was very very easy!!!
United StatesEasy peasy
A gallon is too much for me so I used 1/4 of starter in a quart of 2% milk and it worked fine. Even a quart of kifir daily is too much so I make a little more than a pint. Every morning a vigorous stir and a large tablespoon transferred into a new jar of milk and you're set for the next day. It is effervescent! I have found some days after sitting overnight on the counter there is separation and others not. Maybe it's the milk? If it's chunky an immersion blender smooths it out.
United StatesKefir starter very active

Honestly, the most difficult part of making kefir with this culture is to get the milk to the right temperature prior to adding the culture and not overshooting and then waiting for the milk to cool back down. After that it is smooth sailing and the result is incredibly good. I love serving the kefir with a little bit of salt stirred in and over a couple of ice cubes, somewhat like a lassi.
