Selfmade Kefir

[Trenchfriend]

Excellent, my loungers. EXCELLENT!!

Ready Kefir Ferment is the modern way, practically.

2nd run is already going!

Very easy, I tell you!

You only need usual UHT-milk.

Yes, so easy and so good. I found that the quality of the milk used massively affects the end result, mostly in reduction of bitterness. I use pasteurised milk, I'm lucky to live next to cheesemaker / shop that has excellent milk from nearby alpine pastures.

Making your own yogurt the old-fashioned way is also ridiculously easy.

MAN, that's just idiot-proof!

The second run was again delicious!! Third run is already going.

It could be just imagination, but it seems, that my Kefir gets more creamy from run to run. But anyways, yummy stuff!

Right now, I also started two glasses with Reformhaus Ready-Joghurt Ferment, one "mild" and one "classic".

Ohhh I'd love to try this but I'm in the states....I also want to learn about fermenting....make my own sour kraut and ??

Today, I was looking out for a Bio-Kefir with explicit "living cultures" in grocery store, which should theoretical also work as a starter-culture for selfmade Kefir. And I found one, with "7 active, living cultures"!
So let's see, which result we will get, tomorrow. I'm curious about it!

I mean, If it works, the bottle Bio-Kefir Drink costs 1,39 €. The Reformhaus Kefir Ferment costs 6,99 €.
