Re: oupMaking the production of kefir harder then it needs to be.

[Guest guest]

Wow Carol, those are gorgeous jars! Has anyone here tried them? I'm wondering if

thickened kefir would pour easily from them, as they seem to be designed for

cold, watery beverages like lemonade. They all look pretty tall, too. I'd check

the dimensions of any dispenser I was considering buying, to make sure it would

fit in my fridge (I prefer my kefir chilled).

Many thanks for that link, though, and also thank you to Ron for posting about

this method of fermenting and dispensing kefir. I agree with Tina that we're a

very germophobic society these days. Personally, I think that's why so many kids

get sick so much more than we did when we were kids, " back in the day. " We got

exposed to a lot more germs without all the sanitary sprays and wipes and

antibacterial soaps, air filters and what have you. Consequently, we built up a

lot more immunities. Bet if we'd had kefir we'd never have been sick at all!
