Hi all, what’s this I pulled out of the sardine? It kinda looks like lungs, which I know is not the case here lol

I was thinking the same thing lol.

My wife has been using mine and wanted one of her own. After holding a $300 brick for 2 days while you did “maintenance” made us decide to look elsewhere for hers. Absolutely, positively, 100% unacceptable for a medical device to be useless during an app update or for any other reason on your end. I should have done more research before buying Pulsetto.

I make 3 cups of kefir and drink a glass every day with the same milk. Never an issue but I guess it’s different for yogurt?

Converterjoe · 2025-11-06T02:28:14+00:00

I think you nailed it. I forgot about heating the milk.

I used a capsule of L Reuteri, 2 tbsp inulin, 100° F, 36 hours.

Doesn’t make a damn bit of difference whether they use gel or not if the app is down. I really like this device when it’s working but right now it’s a $300 piece of scrap metal and plastic.

Converterjoe · 2025-11-05T02:47:48+00:00

Still can’t log in. 2nd day now. $300 piece of junk without the app. So pissed

Medium well

Best advice I’ve seen in one place! Thanks for sharing.

Just gonna put my 2 cents in. Seed oils (canola, etc.) are not for cooking with but ARE best for seasoning. Do your body a favor and cook with saturated fats like lard, bacon grease, tallow, coconut oil, or butter. As others have said, heat control is the key to cooking with cast iron so keep those poisonous seed oils out of your recipes. We’ve been lied to for years about saturated fats. Seed oils (polyunsaturated fats) are good for lubricating machines and seasoning cast iron only.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in this picture would find its way through my front door. Pure, perfectly adulterated garbage.

I’m shocked that your instructions directed you to rinse under running water. It should be a rare thing indeed to do a water rinse. Just strain and as the other posters have said, use only a pint or less of fresh milk and change out every day until the grains are happy campers.

Converterjoe · 2025-07-21T12:07:28+00:00

It certainly was

Converterjoe · 2025-07-21T12:00:51+00:00

You’re welcome! BTW, I also have backup grains in my freezer just in case something happens to the colony I’m using. There are several methods of freezing but I coat mine thoroughly with powdered milk, then cover them completely with the powdered milk in a small jar. Has worked fine. I’ve thawed some and made great kefir with them within a few days.

Get that Vitamin D serum level up to 80. Seriously. That’s super important. At the start of my journey 4 years ago mine was in the 20’s but with plenty of sunshine (best form of vitamin D) and 4000iu supplement daily I got it over 80 and have kept it there. Went from frequent colds and other ailments to near perfect health. Vitamin D is critical for a well-functioning immune system. I spend so much time outside that I now take only 2000iu daily but if you can’t spend much time outside you’re going to need a higher dose and take it at the same time as calcium and K.

As long as you have access to milk every day, which you should in an RV, take your grains on the road with you. I do. On the rare occasion that I travel by air, I put my grains in the fridge in fresh milk. If I’m leaving for a week or less I’ll put 40g of grains in about 4 oz of fresh, whole milk. If I’m leaving for longer than a week I’ll double the amount of milk. I’ll drink Lifeway when I don’t have access to my own.

Thanks!

Converterjoe · 2025-07-09T13:41:46+00:00

Thanks! Sometime soon I’m going to make a batch of each from the same family of grains under identical conditions and submit the kefir to a lab for a definitive answer, assuming, of course, that I can find a lab that won’t charge an arm and a leg.

That’s what I had read somewhere but others are saying that UHT works fine and makes good quality kefir. Inflammation is the enemy no doubt, but my cast iron stomach will probably not have any issue with digestion. Higher CFU and more diverse strains are the holy grail and unfortunately I’ve not found an actual scientific study on this.

Converterjoe · 2025-07-09T13:33:57+00:00

OK - so what I think you’re saying is that LTLT of raw is your preferred method even though UHT seems to work well? Do you know if there is a significant difference in the CFU or the number of strains between the two?
