@@candacecanderson The internet is not always reliable… 😮 If we use copper or aluminum or brass or a metal that leaches, that is bad for the “grains” and bad for US as well because it will eventually kill the grains and, it will end up causing us issues as well. However, if we use Stainless Steel, that does not leach, and thus won’t harm us nor the Kefir “grains”. That “metal kills the grains” trope has just become a lie that “everyone” spreads. 🫤
I love my raw milk kefir! I use inulin for my second ferment and it works great! I have also used freeze dried strawberries for my second fermentation. I find myself craving milk kefir every day!
Glad you are back to doing videos always enjoyed getting the info you guys share! Hope all is well on the farm!
More to come! Thanks so much!
I like putting blueberry purée in mine and second fermenting for 4 to 6 hours. ❤
yum that sounds delicious!!
There’s no harm in using stainless steel funnels, strainers & spoons. It’s metals that leach/rust that we need to avoid, such as aluminum, iron, etc.
oh awsome thank you so much for the info!
That’s interesting. I had heard that using a metal strainer could damage the grains.

What I need to know is HOW to make the kefir grains 🙏
You don't. You to need to acquire some and from there they will grow and multiply.
You rock! Can you share some grains with me. I still haven't gotten new grains. I love the 2nd ferment.
How long will it last in the fridge?
