Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Marilyn .. Thanks for all the info. I didn't mean to say " yogurt " , I meant to say milk, sometimes my fingers go faster than my head. Got the milk grains and water grains going right away, tonight will be 24 hrs., so I'll give 'em a fresh change. Envelope on its way to you. Thank you so very much for your kindness and assistance. Peace. > > > > Hi again Marilyn .. > > > > I just received the grains you sent!! Wow, that was fast.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi Betty, Thanks for providing lots of advices and info regarding coconut water kefir. I am going to try using milk grains as I do not have the water crystals. I can get freshly cut young coconut for the price of USD 0.50 per fruit here. We just eat the flesh by the scoops without any additional flavouring...it tastes heavenly. Thanks again. Shirl From: Betty <abclittlethings@...> Subject: coconut water kefir Date: Tuesday, 3 March, 2009, 5:06 AM Oh no, do NOT let it go that long or it is doubtful that you could even drink the stuff. It is closer to 8 hours or when it starts to get a milky color. I would start tasting it after 8 hours but, if I remember correctly 24 hours was even strong so I would go from 8 to 12 hours. The longer it sets the higher the alcohol but there is barely any with the shorter time. It does get fizzy the longer it sets. Don't add the flesh. That is a whole different game there. I tried to find the old list I used to be on and could not. It was a list that used fermented foods and Young Coconut Kefir to help their children heal their gut for autism and other problems. I found a group that is now on Donna's site http://bedrokcommun ity.org/index. html You would be able to get a ton of information about kefiring coconut water and the meat there although they mostly use the Body Ecology Kefir starter culture which can only be used so long before you have to use another packet unlike water crystals. The end product is still a drink or food great for you. Back when we were doing the diet I was using 9 coconuts a week for Evan's drink. After awhile one runs out of ways to use the meat.lol.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have not been checking here for awhile but there is no reason to not use the milk grains in the coconut water if you do not have the water grains. I use converted milk grains for years even when I was using water grains. Water grains though are too hard to separate from the coconut milk so it is just easier to use milk grains for that but that a whole different drink.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 There seems to be a product by mytonix, however I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thank you, Shirl. I've never made either kind of kefir, and just wondering where would be the best place to start. Does one have to keep adding coconut water or does it makes itself once started? -Donnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi Donnie, I suggest you get yourself some milk kefir grains to start with. Once you get into the swing of it, then you will have spare grains (the grains will grow in quantity each day) to convert them to make coconut water kefir. Once converted, the grains will not grow and may stop work one day, lol....and they can't be used for milk kefir. When you make coconut water kefir, you need fresh c.water every 24-36hrs for each batch of c.w.kefir you make ie. after you strain the c.w.kefir, you add fresh c.water to the grains to start a new batch. Hope it helps, Shirl From: donniegillum@... <donniegillum@...> Subject: Fw: Coconut water kefir Date: Saturday, 20 June, 2009, 12:59 AM Thank you, Shirl.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thank you. I'm kinda trying to get my nerve up to give it a try. Are there any detailed instructions on the site or group anywhere? -Donnie Hi Donnie, I suggest you get yourself some milk kefir grains to start with. <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
