Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thanks so much Joyce and Felicher, for the info! I am using your info right now to try and help myself of this acid! Needless to say, I am not able to tolerate any keifer these past couple of days! To try and keep this on topic. If you use keifer grains and add them to some homemade yogurt, what do you thin will happen? I would fish them out after making it by the way. I'm curious!
