Re: Water grains for milk Kefir?

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce,

But we know where water kefir grains come from; a plant in Mexico. Milk

grains come from that possibly. I need more people to do the experiment.

Really?? What plant? I would be interested in doing the " experiment " as

this sounds interesting. Is this a variation on some discussion I've

only briefly tuned into as to whether there is actually a ginger beer

plant for making ginger beer with kefir with some saying no and some yes?

And whether tibicos or not when just semantics, (I think but don't know

for sure).

Thanks for info ... Joyce

I have not time to look up where I read that info. But it is on the web

somewhere...

The bacteria strains in a true ginger beer plant are different from those in

water kefir/tibicos. I would have to lookup the information, but remember they

are different. It's not really a plant, just a culture that looks alot like

water kefir grains...just different critters.

Since my WKG are growing well now, I decided to take on this challenge.

I have a generous teaspoon in 1/2 cup raw cow's milk (since I have no

idea how this will turn out - I wanted to waste as little milk, and

grains, as possible)

Now, do I change the milk every day?
