Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nichole, Why don't you just drink less? 1/2 cup of normal kefir vs 1 cup of " watered down " kefir? I don't see what you're getting after.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nichole, It would depend upon the quality of the water. Make sure that it is the best water that you can find. Understand that you will be making exactly the same amount of kefir. In other words, let us say that you put one pint of raw milk in a container with one pint of water. You will only get one pint of kefir, but it would be very runny with a lot of water in it. The volume would be two pints, but only half would be kefir, the other half would be water. You can't get something for nothing. Oh, wait, you can. You can get quality for nothing; your kefir micro-buddies will make milk, a good food, into kefir, a DIVINE food. You should light a candle at the nearest Catholic Church for being able to get raw milk for $6.00 per gallon. It just doesn't seem fair. I am a good person. I am nice to old ladies. But I have to pay $10.11 per gallon. Life just ain't fair!!! and Katrina Bird's Incredibly Lucky Daddy From: thegabrielnetwork@...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I personally don't think I would do this. If you cannot afford raw milk, use the best quality whole milk that you can afford. In our area that would be from Braums.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 , if I feel like going out of state and spending the night with relatives, I can buy raw cow's milk near where they live for $2/gal. The farmer adds on a whopping dollar to the price for their yummy goat's milk - they know how tasty it is, lol. But with the travel expenses and all, sometimes even that is just more than I afford at the present time. So, y'all don't feel bad.... I think we ought to light a candle and give thanks that we can even find raw milk at any price. It really is a precious commodity, and has made a noticeable improvement in my health. I love it. ie ________________________________ From: ROGER BIRD <rogerbird1@...> Marilyn Kefirlady's group < > Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 2:14 PM Subject: RE: Watered down milk Nichole, It would depend upon the quality of the water.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Have paid $6.95 a *half* gallon for raw goat's milk. Now I pay hundreds of dollars a month for goat feed...hmmm...maybe it just seems like that! Here I can buy raw Jersey milk for $4.50 a gallon. Yes, I am thankful. It's a bit of a drive. Thank God for brave farmers willing to sell good milk to people, despite the risks in our crazy society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
