milk to grain ratio and heartburn

[Guest guest]

When I made my first batch of kefir, I mistakenly used 2 cups of milk

instead of one. At the end of the 24 hour period I drank the kefir

and it was great. The next time, I followed the recipe and used only

1 cup of milk. The following morning, I had my cup of kefir with

breakfast and experienced heartburn. I blew it off, and made more

kefir with one cup of milk. But the next day, the heartburn happened

again! At first, I didn't make the connection with the kefir since I

had drank it the first day successfully. But then I realized that I

had actually used a different ratio that first time. My question is

this: If I increase the amount of milk in relation to the grains,

will I still get the health benefits of the kefir, or will it not have

fermented properly? (P.S. I realize that as the grains grow I will

need to use more milk, but my question is slightly different since I

don't think they grew a massive amount after first time...)

Thanks in advance for your responses,
