Kifir Question

[Mayzoo]

I am going to start making kefir. I know someone on here mentioned they were using it and loved the benefits, but I do not recall who that was (a forum search did not come up with anything).

 

If whoever that was could PM me or tell me on here if you make yours at home, or do you buy a pre-made? If you make them at home, who did you buy your grains from? Also, are you using water or milk kefir?

 

I just bought some water kefir grains, and I am looking into milk grains since I want to make this at home, but I would like to know if I am getting grains from a "good" source.

 

Thanks a bunch!!

I did find some Kefir posts with the search (when I spelled it correctly) but I did not find the post from the person who was thrilled with this. Probably overlooked it :/.

 

Thanks

We buy Lifeway Kefir and my boys love their "smoothies" and have no belly issues even with all the abx and ibuprofen.

As of some time next week, I should be making both milk and water kefir. I bought the grains and will make it at home since it is dirt cheap that way, and I know exactly what will be in it. It looks super easy to make, and I and kiddo are both looking forward to making it. I already grow sprouts in the house and have a garden outside along with edible flower gardens. We are already in the mindset of doing things our self at home, so this should be a very easy transition for me. I am now looking into a yogurt maker also. This should be healthy, fun and educational. Gotta do what we can to eat healthier and improve our immune systems .
