Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Lark asked: >Is there no way to store kefir that preserves the best taste after that first day? It seems making it everyday could be time consuming, especially if I have to fetch the raw milk. >When I do in vitro fermentations, I do not wash the glass and plastic ware with soap, is there a similar recommendation for making kefir? Soap residue could be bacteriocidal. Sorry if these have already been answered as I'm on digest..... If you don't feel like making kefir every day, you can make a big batch and keep it in the fridge. It gets more tart the longer you store it, but it also gets more B. Vitamins and Folic Acid. If you're going to add fruit and make smoothies anyway, it doesn't matter. I don't wash my jars every day. When they get a bit cheesy around the top, the dogs get to lick them out and they go in the dishwasher. You are right that soap is a very bad thing for kefir, so be sure to rinse the jars very well when hand-washing. HTH, and the K9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it can do the opposite if your magnesium is low by nature of the milk which already has an overbalance of calcium to magnesium by 7:1. I tell people to take more magnesium if the kefir is constipating. Marilyn > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
