Thank you Marilyn.

OK I am going to ween the calves next week and I will have some extra milk after that. How many grains does it take for say 1 gallon of milk?

Generally about a cup.

I am diabetic and have troubles with candadiasis and they have always told me to eat yogurt but no one told me of kefir. Is kefir like goats a well kept secret?

They are hard to come by and very expensive to make compared to direct

set cultures. Kefir made with real kefir grains cannot be done

commercially because it is too time consuming. Nothing gets

advertised very much unless someone can make big money at it. But in

our kitchens kefir made with real kefir grains suits us just fine.
