Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I came up with an invention that sometimes speeds things up for me. I had some extra plastic canvas from my crafting days. I cut some circles out of it to fit inside the ring of my jar lids. Now I have a built-in strainer lid. All I have to do after I've poured the kefired milk out is rinse it off, pour more milk on my grains & I'm ready to go. It's made it VERY convenient for me. :-D Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I'm asking myself the same question, . Whatever way works easiest for the individual. Sometimes I use a strainer, but mostly I use my strainer lid. If the kefir is thicker, I just stir it all up really good with a spoon first, making sure I scrape the stuff on the bottom really good. MOst of the time I don't have to do that though. I put the lid back on and shake the kefir milk all out. I'm left with the grains in the jar, add more milk, rinse of the lid and put it back on. Not a big deal and it takes all of 30-60 seconds or so. The strainer is easy too. I'm not into " bagging " my grains only because mine don't grow well when I do that, but maybe I'm not doing it right. Barbara > I just plop mine into the strainer and shake it all through. I am left with grains. Why is this so much trouble? Am I missing something? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 And then again, maybe you ARE doing it right, and I need to " unbag " my grains... set them free., eh ? ..lol --Terry Re: Kefir straining > I'm asking myself the same question, .

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Yes, Terry. Take the "package" out and let them float, free and unfettered! (throwing hands up in the air) HA! ;-) No seriously, I bet they would grow better.
