Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi all, Have a question about my kefir. I revitalised it recently after leaving it in the fridge for longer than I care to think of. Grains were fine, no mold, all healthy. The kefir is also good. But, weird thing: having left it on the side for about 3 days with the same milk in (ok, bad mother) it separated as normal, and when I next looked at it, it had cheese mold on the top. By cheese mold, I mean it looks like the soft white cheese mold found on goats cheese " fermiers " . It also smells very cheesy - it smelt good, I though. Anyway, I had given some of these grains a few days previously to a friend, and she said that twice it cultured fine, and the third time, it had this cheese mold on top. I think that possibly during cold storage the balance of the scoby altered somehow and now it's gone cheese-mold mad. She threw hers away. I've rinsed mine and given them new milk. I wonder if I should have just made cheese... Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what went wrong/right? Helen -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
