Yes we make it. Did wonders for my boys stomach. He'd been on medication for a year, started with kefir and could reduce, then eventually eliminate the meds (under doc supervision).

Having a caramello and a glass of iced tea.

Finally got out for a meal this evening with the ladies. This was a great belly liner for pints. A humble mixed grill with a big portion of chips.

Little G had roast pork and mash. Mrs G opted for Chicken Ceasar Salad. Only one dessert followed and that was for little G. Chocolate brownie and chocolate ice cream. But jaysus lads, the mixed grill.......:D

@Graces7, I shall add it to my list of things for June delivery.

Basically you get kefir grains and ferment them, once you have started with the grains you can keep them growing and use them repeatably.

Graces you need grains to start, keep feeding them fresh milk, much like feeding sourdough starter I believe. It turns it into a yoghurt like consistency/flavour. It grows as it feeds on the milk so you can make more, make it faster or give it away. There is a water kefir too, but I know nothing about that.

Have a google of milk kefir and see if it's something you want to try. I'm not sure if grains would survive in the post, but I'll do a bit of research and if there's a way to do it, I'd be happy to post a starter amount to you.

Oh, about to make bruschetta. With feta.

EDIT: Made and eaten, with a big pile of rocket, it's really the simple things that make food great sometimes!

Most of the 'polski sklep' in the country sell kefir. Think I've also seen it in Li/Al-di

They do, as does tesco, but as far as I know shop bought kefir is pasturised after fermentation, if it's not, it'll continue fermenting in the packaging and it'll burst. Whereas homemade, you're drinking it "live" so getting more goodness.

Thats interesting, have often wondered how kefir compares to yogurt

When making kefir does it need to be kept within a tight temp range ( the way yog does ) ?

It's much easier than yoghurt, just keep it at room temperature. If you leave it too long or it's too warm it ferments quicker and it gets a bit fizzy and sour. But it's still drinkable. If you use too much milk or have it too cold it ferments more slowly. It's really about getting a feel for it to be honest. I'm still learning.
I recently learned that when you're going away for a few days, you can put it in more milk than usual and put it into the fridge and it sort of goes dormant in there. When you come back you wake it up with fresh milk and warmer temperature. Like a tamagotchi. :pac:

EDIT: compared to yoghurt it is thinner, more sour and has different bacteria in it. As far as I know bacteria in kefir stays in your digestive system. Yoghurt bacteria doesn't.

I started off so carefully with a teaspoon a day, measuring it, panicking if I forgot, especially when I was dropping the movicol. Now he gets anything from a spoon in his porridge to a half cup in a smoothie depending on the day.
