Question about making coconut kefir

[Guest guest]

I now have the coconut kefir starter and the young coconuts and want to get it made as soon as possible. The instructions say to ferment at 70-75 degrees for 36 hours. My yogurt maker ferments at 120 degrees and my food dehydrater only goes to 85 degrees. We keep our air conditioner at about 72 degrees but the house temp will get up to 74 or so during the summer. Do I just have the kefir in a glass canning jar sitting on the counter? What is the best way to have it sitting while it is fermenting? Do I need to keep it in a draft free or dark location? Do I cover it with a towel? How do I check its temperature? Lots of questions. Please help!! I am excited about getting my boys on BED.
