When I started doing milk kefir I bought grains off eBay from four different regions of the country. Coming from different environments, you get the broadest possible variety of probiotics. They’re very very vigorous.
Remember that when you store active ferments in your refrigerator, the yeasts etc will cause cheeses and vegetables to age pretty quickly.
I finally bought a small fridge to use exclusively for storing my ferments.
When I was a little girl, in the early 1960s,I used to love going to my grandmother's house, I am a great-grandmother now. I loved her buttermilk.
She would get commodity powdered milk and culture it with the buttermilk she had. She put it in a gallon glass jug and set it on top of her refrigerator until the next day. She made a gallon every 3-4 days! It was the best buttermilk I ever had, so much better than what I get in the store now.
I am loving the yogurt and milk kefir that I have been making. I might try a batch of buttermilk soon as well. Thanks so much for teaching me about ferments and giving me the courage to try it. 😊
I found this so interesting! If it approved by all parties maybe you can bring camera along next time you go to the farm. Would love to hear more!
That's what I was thinking, too.
Fermas maybe? 😄 Also I'm loving the new sign-off!
You are blessed to be able to get fresh milk. There is no wherein my area to purchase it. I would Love it.
Enjoyed watching you today. I've got goals to start the new year off better with new ferments. I'll be going back and getting your videos to help me out. Blessings to you ❤🙏
I put organic orange peel. So yummy!
Love fermentmas lol
Fermentmas sounds like a thing we should do so...... Peace out Sauerkraut! 💜🙏💜
And keep on kefirin'.
Nice.
I made a water kefir ferment a few years back flavored with apple pieces thinking it would be yummy. But I let it go a little too long and discovered I’d made hard cider!
Oooh! Looks great! I was having a rough day yesterday and felt better immediately after I ate some looooong fermented sauerkraut! 😮❤
😂 That’s so exciting! I tried to make yogurt a couple times but it wasn’t quite right. I used plain store bought yogurt as the starter… can’t wait to see how this goes. 😊
I used heirloom cultures from Cultures for Health today. The packages have 2 each of 4 different cultures. It was like a pinch in the package. I was shocked how small of an amount it was. So I added some kefir along with it. Came out good. I wish I had made some without the kefir to see if it actually would have worked. But I doubted it since it was such a small amount.
Love this video. I think I killed my milk kefir grains though 😢. And I like fermentmas❤. Sounds so festive.
Cheese is a ferment also. I don’t know if you have thought about making it but it would be cool
Love the information
You're doing vlogmas right. It's just daily blogging from 12/1 to 12/25. I'm digging fermentmas!
I am. Good to know!😊
Why not just make yogurt out of the kefir. After double fermenting, line a fine mesh non metal strainer with non bleached coffee filters (wet), mix kefir to reincorporate, slowly pour over filters, cover in plastic wrap let sit in fridge until desired thickness. If you have a fancy yogurt filter even easier. You can also single ferment if no wanting strong flavor. It was years ago but may have gotten this from Mary’s Nest
I do that sometimes but I’m more interested in the different bacterial profile than the texture.
I really wish NJ allowed us to purchase fresh milk right from the cow. I found out it’s illegal 🙄
Hi Anna 👋
Wow I love this!
Hi there Anna; I just found your channel and have binge watching your channel. I love yogurt and kombucha. I started a ginger bug and some kombucha. Would love to try milk and water keifer; where is the best reputable place to buy the grains? Thank you in advance
I have been wondering how fermented milk/yogurt was on sugar. Being keto/carnivore, I wanted to keep milk in my diet because its a good electrolyte bump in my opinion, that is animal based and natural. But to much stalls weightloss. So fermentation helps eat up the sugar? If I have a way to I'd check my blood sugar after having kefir or yogurt I would, But it's not an option at this time. Fermentation of milk is still something I am trying to learn. I hope I catch on soon.
How did the thickness turn out????
I just love your content! One question about both things, Kefir and yogurt… I seem to be all over the map with mine as far as taste. I don’t like sour too much and both keep coming out a little more sour than I like. I did try putting an orange peel in the kefir and it did really improve the taste! But what do I do a sour yogurt besides just add some sugar of some form? Anyway I also was wondering am I letting them ferment too long is that why they’re a little more sour than I like? Appreciate it!
The only way I’m aware to help with an overly sour taste is to add some sweetness, I prefer the flavored liquid stevia drops so there’s no added sugars. If you like it less sour then yes ferment for less time. Just be sure to pay attention to your tastes, over time you’ll start to want it more and more sour 😃
Thank you so much for your input! I’m getting kind of excited about all this fermentation stuff!
WHERE DOING YOU BUY YOU CULTURES FROM ?
I buy them from eBay. The grains multiply and people sell them. Eventually that’s what I had to do because they multiply in the milk. They feed off the lactose and grow larger.
Do u heat the milk?
No I do not
