Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks! Mmm. I love beetroot. Kvass is going to rock. Do you use Kefir whey?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 This is how I do mine as well. But, I strain the beets out of the kvass to put the liquid in a pitcher in the refrig and start the second batch right away. The book says you can only use the beets for 2 batches before tossing them. I feed mine to the chickens when I'm done with them.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Wow, I always thought you were supposed to eat the beets. Thanks for letting me know!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi list! Dirk Coetsee wrote: > Thanks! Mmm. I love beetroot. Kvass is going to rock. I've been lurking a while and picked up a lot of good advice. Now I have to ask about this My English isn't native. When you say " beet " and " beetroot " , do you mean the blood-red thing? Beta vulgaris? I think that's the one, just want to make sure before I go at it. :-) http://www.museums.org.za/bio/images/enb7/enb07429x_beetroot.jpg TIA hemul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've had the most consistent results using whey from my cheesemaking or from kefir. I've also tried it with no starter and also with rejuvilac but these were not very good. Re: Re: Kvass Thanks! Mmm. I love beetroot. Kvass is going to rock. Do you use Kefir whey?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 So you don't have to add more salt or more whey from yogurt? Gets spendy. Has anyone lab tested the second batch to see how much good stuff has been lost? Does anyone know what's in the Kvass in the first place and what it specifically is supposed ti do?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Don't know much about KVASS, but I know that beet juice is used in many alternate cancer cure protocols for it's anti cancer properties. Fermentation should reduce the sugar content making it even better in my books. Then of course, there are all the probiotics...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Can you break down what's in Kvass that's so good for us? I drink it but wish I knew why besides making me regular.
