Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Brittany, Can you at least now get goat milk and put the grains into it to culture them so they don't starve to death. The 4 day old kefir will be really sour. Perhaps you like it so tart. It shouldn't be bad for you, but certainly isn't ideal. How about keeping some frozen goat milk always on hand so this doesn't happen again. Also have on hand maybe canned goat or cow milk, in case of an electrical failure. It would be better than starving the kefir grains. How about powdered milk? Grains are often difficult to obtain. Do you have access to processed commercial milk? Grains need food. Maybe you can make a smoothie with the finished kefir, by adding fruit and honey or Stevia. Please let us know how it turns out. You can also culture it in the refregerator, to slow it down if you can wait longer for it to finish. This would help if you knew that you would be busy ahead of time. Sometimes it's hard to juggle all that life requires of us, but it affords us the opportunity to think creatively for alternative solutions to some problems. Sincerely, Edith > 5.
