Straining before whey production, no 2nd ferment w/ this method. Kefir history

There is no second ferment with this method.. w/ kefir history, karachay, cerkes

You are so right. Drink that fresh milk kefir relatively soon after straining.

It would be lovely to see your process, from using raw milk, milk-to-grain ratio, kefiran, whey separation, refrigeration, and your secrets to get the best raw milk kefir.

I’m sure that many of us do not use raw milk…could you explain what differences we can expect or things that different in the process using regular pasteurized milk?

Kefir history starts @ 7:57 let me know if you like learning about the kefir people, their ancient culture, & how we got access to the grains. A heavily guarded & sacred grain to the people of the caucuses.

Hello from England. Could you add some food, say maple syrup, for your grains after you've strained out the grains to continue with fermentation - because your method will have eaten up all the milk. Maybe that way you get even more powerful kefir. If you did add maple syrup, how much would you add and how long would you leave it for?

Also, one other question - if you were at home all day every day, would you do anything different? I suppose I'm asking to find out whether you've chosen this method because it fits your lifestyle, or because it's the optimal way of making kefir. It seems like a bit of both for you - because you work all day and also because you talk about the history of kefir and the conditions - mind you, they would have had fires going, so they could have kept it close to one.
Love the channel, by the way - number one kefir channel on here.

Curious re: the raw milk. Do you refrigerate that when you buy it??you say you buyb3 gal at a time . How to handle the storage and use ?!!

[katherynshiflet]

Please tell me which video to watch for this method. I get the put one third grains to two third milk. But then whats the next step how long and then the next step. And does this help with constipation also.

[Fotolangit]

3 hours in the room temperature + 21 hours in the fridge.
So, 24 hours with grains or only 3 hours with grains?

I'm wanting to start me some Kifer from scratch grains

[honkymonkey]

some people say to ferment covered with paper towel for air flow and some say to use a lid. What is your take? Also, some say that the temperature changes from room temp to fridge back and forth stresses them.

Additional comments -
- Straining at this point in video will have much less yeast taste
- By warm temps i mean over 75, near 90 degrees F
