WOW that was packed full of information! ❤️ Just hung some kefir earlier today for some cheese. Yum! I make and sell raw goat milk kefir. In fact just 2 hours ago I had a knock at my door. There stood a woman who apparently I had gifted some kefir grains to awhile back. She was thanking me profusely, saying that she loves her kefir and that I had saved her life. 😳 I am smart enough not to take the credit but to thank her back equally as enthusiastically for sharing her story. I guess the day she was at my home to pick up her grains I had given her a sample to drink. She said that her stomach had been in terrible pain for 2 years, and with in 10 minutes of her drive home she said her pain was gone and she could feel it working. I am often, lovingly mocked by my grown children saying whenever someone has an ailment that I can be seen or heard whispering the word “Kefir!” 🤣 I so appreciate when people share their stories. Thank you for sharing this information for others who don’t know yet about kefir. 😊
I have a casein (A1) allergy, and was just pondering if kefir can be made successfully with goat's milk, so your comment is right on time for me! Thanks so much for sharing. ...Now I'm off to find some affordable local source of raw goat milk and kefir grains. LOL
Holy crap!!! I've been making my own kefir from raw milk for several years. I knew it was good for me but I didn't know a fraction of the info you presented here ! Thanks for doing all the research! I definitely will keep drinking my kefir! I usually do a second fermentation with some fruit for about 1 to 2 hours which decreases the tangy flavor. Then I add a little honey or maple syrup and blend it up. Stick it in the fridge for a couple of hours and it's delicious!
In the same way, you make curd cheese from sour milk (let it stay till it goes thick). Curd is universal stuff, use it as bread spread (with herbs, salt, pepper), or for dinner with boiled potatoes(some onions, a bit of linseed oil), baking a real cheesecake. You can even add some fruits and eat curd as a sweet dessert. Great source of protein. Greetings from Germany.
Oh, thank you!!! I just got my milk kefir 2 weeks ago, and now I have 3-quart jars of milk kefir and could not drink enough of it. Thank you!!! I just subscribed!!! You rock!!!
This is excellent content! I was just watching another video recently of a lady talking about how the Kiefer helps fight off any candida overgrowth, and can also help regulate your oxalate levels! Wowza! Keep it coming! Love it!
After having my mind somewhat blown, you got my subscription!! I said to my husband "honey we can make cheese with the kefir grains"....his reply? Gouda? Swiss? LOL. You are a fascinating lady!!! I just started making our own Kefir a few months ago and the grains just keep growing so I have jars of them in the fridge not knowing anyone to share with. I will definitely try to make cream cheese!!! Thanks! - Laura in NW FL
Milk kefir is awesome 😊 after i moved to the house i nowadays live, my milk kefir died, i trued a couple of times again, but no success 😮 im going to try again this spring /summer time 👍
You are hysterical and awesome at the same time! I’m working my courage up to make my own kefir and as much as you made me laugh from this video I just have to do it! Thanks for the smiles and encouragement!
I prepare fruits (some may need cooking for half hour.) and culture in a container all night with some live yogurt or kombucha. In the morning it’s breakfast.
Thanks for reminding me to make Kefir Cheese. Did you know that making kefir with thick cream (double cream here in the UK) makes everything taste a lot sweeter. I set up a litre use half then keep topping up with 3 day kefir whole milk ferments - nicer for beginner to get used to the flavour.
Yes Yes yes I can't say enough good wonderful great amazing awesome (that one I save for Almighty God ❤) I have 3 autoimmune disorders that they know 😮 Kefir and God are helping me to heal 😊❤ Thanks Sis for making this more known 😊❤
Love this, I accidentally made Raw Goats Milk Kefir Labneh the other day, I let it overferment, freaked out at the flavour so then I just hung it like you did for 24 hours and then put it in the fridge . I had my first tablespoon of it and OMFG it is the most delicious goats "cheese" I have actually had. Going to be making a lot more - I have a freezer full of raw goats milk !!
We love our kefir too! Just a few notes. We were making two cups a day and we were finding that we just had too much volume when flipping it every day so we just cut down to 1/2 cup a day. It has made it manageable for the two of us. When I get too many grains happening I either give them away or freeze them with a bit of dried milk powder. When you need them just thaw in fresh milk and they bounce back in a few days. I am surprised more people don't make kefir - so easy and delicious.
i think kefir grain survive moths meaby years out ofthe fridge I forgot a botle for like 6 months when i found it i thought they were death but after throwing the old milk , put new milk the next day i had kefir milk , they also looked great with a nice cream color
Best video on Kefir, and I've watched many, great presentation and content. Just subscribed. Been making raw milk Kefir for about 2 years and never felt better, I will take my excess grains and freeze to put into my smoothies. Keep up the great videos, much appreciated. Shout out from Utah
I like watching your videos while having my morning coffee. They give me a joyful start to my day. (along with all the great info} Thanks and God Bless You
Great video. I've just started fermending my own kefir two weeks ago and I'm excited on how fast my grains have doubled in size and fermentation "power".
This is fascinating. It doesn't really look that hard. I'm learning so much from you. Concentrating on your show helps me with my panic sometimes. I like that🌿💛🌿
You can culture your professional probiotic capsules in milk. And adding a slight bit of black molasses it will feed better in order to grow it in milk. Bifidum types are more ubiquitous in the colon. The small intestines have Lactobacillus types.
So I got my grains, and have been making kefir for about a month or so. Very happy with/about it. Now I want to try making the cheese. My question is this: Since kefir is like the best thing on earth for us, does the cheese have that same benefit? I’ve always got questions for you, and you always seem to have the answers. I appreciate that so much. Thank you for being you, don’t change, please.
I’m happy to help anytime I can! All I can do is think about what I know because I don’t have the actual answer. Since making the cheese means straining out the whey you will be losing some of its goodness, however I’m sure there’s plenty left behind and it’s certainly much better than store bought cheese!
😂I love you! I'm sorry I've been absent for a while. Life😜 You make me smile😊 I'm going to make Kifer and get with the plan one of these days. Love that you are with Abundance +. Your products at Market look fantastic. I am so happy you are finding your niche and educating everyone with your cool knowledge. God bless you and your ❤❤🙏
I just discovered your channel and so glad I did! So informational and you are hilarious! 😆 I started making kefir a month ago and so happy to learn more about it.
Omg my wife and I love your excightment and great info! Awesome video. Subscribed. We have made a few batches of kefir but now might try cheese. Thank you 👍
I started making milk kefir a few months back, but it got to be too much for me, as it only took about 24 hrs to ferment so I had to start a new batch every day. Or sometimes I'd rest the grains in the fridge, but couldn't leave it like that for very long. Maybe I'll try again w some of your tips for the cheese and whey so I don't get overwhelmed w just the milk. Thanks!
It’s definitely worth trying to make it work with your schedule. Have you tried the dehydrated powder starter? It’s not as powerful but better than not having any 😃
I had too much too and rested my grains too long in the fridge. They survived, but quit multiplying. So a month or so ago, I began again. Just using one cup per day so as not to have to refrigerate the grains. Now since my new grains are multiplying like crazy, i decided to venture into the world of kefir cheese and whey. I think I have new hobby lol. Only wish I had a local source of raw milk that's near me.
Love the channel, just liked and subscribed! I tried making my first kefir cheese a few days ago - it was edible but tasted quite strongly of cheap white wine - is this just the general flavour or can this be avoided or mellowed somehow?
When my kefir is done after 24 hours I open it up and all of the grains have all come to the top. Is this good? Bad? Ok? Just haven’t been doing this long enough to know very much.
Wow, Girl! This was an amazing video! Was wondering if you could tell me what editing program you use. I love your energy and good information and of course your little wisecracks! 😜
Thanks for sharing this video. I make milk kefir every other day. I added frozen strawberries and maple syrup to a quart of kefir. I told my son it was in the fridge. He drank the whole thing less the half cup I drank. 😊tomorrow I will make cream cheese from it. Thanks again. By the way in the winter months I fermented the chickens feed. Summer it gets too smelly😮
Question about gut health: do you drink coffee or non-herbal tea? I was told that caffeine messes with stomach (causes gerd) and gut (blocks/ reduces vitamin/mineral absorption). I drink decaf, but can’t pass on a caffeinated soda occasionally (olipop soda, “healthy” kind)
I’ve heard both ways on caffeine but the mental health benefits outweigh anything else. My mom died of something like dementia at 57 and high coffee consumption is strongly linked to preventing cognitive decline
Ingredients to add to the kefir. * 2 tbsp dried tarragon or dried chives * 2 tbsp dried parsley * 2 tbsp dried dill * 1 tbsp garlic powder * 1 tbsp onion powder * 1 tsp sea salt * ½ tbsp ground black pepper These dry ingredients can be stored in an airtight container and added teaspoon by teaspoon to the kefir until you are happy with the taste.
No, you can use store bought kefir to make kefir cheese. Store bought kefir isn’t really a natural ferment. Most of the time it’s just selected cultures and who knows which way it will go but you can definitely strain it to make cheese
It will probably be fine but I wouldn’t use it because it’s very different bacteria with different requirements. You could use brine from another veggie ferment but I don’t recommend using a starter in most ferments because it speeds it up and changes the flavor
After sitting on the counter for 24 hours my kefir would be totally separated, it would look like cottage cheese at the top, and the whey in the bottom. So I let it sit out for 20 hours and it turned out very nice no separation. My question is since we dropped four hours off of it, is it going to affect the probiotics and vitamins that are in it in anyway. Will there be a lesser amount in my final product? Thanks in advance. I’m looking forward to your answer.
The yield would be the same, a shorter fermentation would mean less probiotics. If it’s separating before 24 hours it usually means either the temperature is too high or there’s too many grains for the amount of milk you’re using. I hope that helps 😊
How long is the milk you strain your grains out of good for in the fridge? I've been growing my milk kefir for a couple weeks now, and I'm making my family watch this because they have been hesitant to drink it! Thank you!
Do you mean how long do I strain it for or how old is the milk when I strained it? I usually strain it for around 24 hours but it varies based on what consistency I want and I’m not sure how old the milk was. I hope the video helps! It’s fantastic stuff 😃

Welcome! 😃
Where did get the milk keifer though?
Question about gut health: do you drink coffee or non-herbal tea? I was told that caffeine messes with stomach (causes gerd) and gut (blocks/ reduces vitamin/mineral absorption). I drink decaf, but can’t pass on a caffeinated soda occasionally (olipop soda, “healthy” kind)
I’ve heard both ways on caffeine but the mental health benefits outweigh anything else. My mom died of something like dementia at 57 and high coffee consumption is strongly linked to preventing cognitive decline
And I haven’t had regular soda in many years but I do occasionally enjoy a zevia, fantastic no carb option from what I can tell
I bet that’s why my husband drink so much coffee, otherwise I would drive him mad at early age 😂
Olipop is similar to Zevia, I tried both, like the former a bit better :)
Where is your ranch dressing recipe??? that sounds awesome. Do you Hidden Valley ranch seasoning?
Farm Girl best rescepttion
You're so amazing. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.
Thank you 🥰
I want to know what ranch dressing that you use. All the ranch dressings I found contain soy oil or canola oil.
I just add a powdered ranch mix to the kefir cheese, best thing ever! I couldn’t find any with good ingredients either until I tried this!
@@FermentedHomestead Do you make your own ranch mix from scratch or do you buy a packet of mix?
Ingredients to add to the kefir.
* 2 tbsp dried tarragon or dried chives
* 2 tbsp dried parsley
* 2 tbsp dried dill
* 1 tbsp garlic powder
* 1 tbsp onion powder
* 1 tsp sea salt
* ½ tbsp ground black pepper
These dry ingredients can be stored in an airtight container and added teaspoon by teaspoon to the kefir until you are happy with the taste.
I think I'm in love . . .
Did you say you’re able to use store bought kefir (cold) and then leave it out to ferment?
No, you can use store bought kefir to make kefir cheese. Store bought kefir isn’t really a natural ferment. Most of the time it’s just selected cultures and who knows which way it will go but you can definitely strain it to make cheese
Can you refridgerate your kefir then take it out and hang it later?
Should you strain it in the fridge?
Yes you can keep it in the fridge with or without grains, it’s a good way to take a break if you don’t want to make it every day
How much we can drink every day?
Can one use the whey as a starter culture for sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables? Or would that give you "wine"?
It will probably be fine but I wouldn’t use it because it’s very different bacteria with different requirements. You could use brine from another veggie ferment but I don’t recommend using a starter in most ferments because it speeds it up and changes the flavor

After sitting on the counter for 24 hours my kefir would be totally separated, it would look like cottage cheese at the top, and the whey in the bottom. So I let it sit out for 20 hours and it turned out very nice no separation. My question is since we dropped four hours off of it, is it going to affect the probiotics and vitamins that are in it in anyway. Will there be a lesser amount in my final product? Thanks in advance. I’m looking forward to your answer.
The yield would be the same, a shorter fermentation would mean less probiotics. If it’s separating before 24 hours it usually means either the temperature is too high or there’s too many grains for the amount of milk you’re using. I hope that helps 😊
@@FermentedHomestead Yes, it did help, thank you.
Can u please talk about “feeding” the kefir fruit and honey??
I’m not sure what you mean, are you referring to the second ferment?
Omg, homemade sour cream sounds amazing!
Doing my kefír everyday.. Going to try the cream cheese just need to get cheese cloth. My milk is raw jersey milk
How long is the milk you strain your grains out of good for in the fridge? I've been growing my milk kefir for a couple weeks now, and I'm making my family watch this because they have been hesitant to drink it! Thank you!
Do you mean how long do I strain it for or how old is the milk when I strained it? I usually strain it for around 24 hours but it varies based on what consistency I want and I’m not sure how old the milk was. I hope the video helps! It’s fantastic stuff 😃
@@FermentedHomestead I mean- how long do you have to drink it? Lol thank you!
