I've gone crazy with kefir. I don't know why but my last batch of coconut milk kefir I decided to add some pumpkin puree. It tasted kind of icky after a couple of days of fermenting, not sour enough. So I let it go a few more days... just tasted it this morning. It is SOUR! And it is bubbling like a witches brew *cackle*. So I just decanted it and put it in the fridge, I hope the jar doesn't explode. I think I'll have to put some sweetener in this one because it is so powerfully puckerworthy.
I'd better go loosen the lid, I'm scared it'll blow up. |

Too funny. I haven't started it yet, although I want to! Maybe in the next year we will finally try kefir!

I have a desire to kefirize beans (pre-cooked ones). I was thinking those bacteria could break down those resistant starches that give us gas. And I also have this notion they'll taste good. |

Ooooh... I've been considering getting around to doing kefir but couldn't get my hands on any that was dairy free.
Another hurdle would've been that I was worried about spending all that time and money trying to make it with coconut... only to fail. I'm thrilled to hear that yours is doing so well. Maybe when you get too much, you would let me know and I could buy some of your dairy free base.

Kefir is the only dairy I do. I buy commercially made stuff. I havent' been able to get any grains yet. It is great to hear coconut milk does so well. Where did you get our first grains?

Kim, the coconut milk just needs to ferment a nice long time to get that wonderful sourness. It goes slower than regular milk.
I just sat down with google one day and searched for kefir grains and found a list of people willing to share or sell theirs. I found a lady that would sell hers for about 15.00 postage included. Now I've got enough I can send some to my sister-in-law! I also dried some of mine as backup copies, in case I should ruin some. |
