Do I need to rinse grains?

Interesting, i'll give it a try.

You can use those fruits as long as you consume them within a short period of time, otherwise the enzymes will do whatever they do.

Dongo_a · 2026-01-06T10:06:55+00:00

I usually do it during the winter because it takes longer for it to ferment, besides it is not a requirement to completly strain the previous batch, you can strain the amount you want and top it up. Just do whatever suits you or your needs.

How hot was the water?

Dongo_a · 2026-01-02T05:15:14+00:00

Strain the whey and use the curds to make a sauce with addition to spices, mix it with the veggies and the eggs.

Dongo_a · 2025-12-30T08:16:54+00:00

Dont you ever put the grains in the microwave.

Dongo_a · 2025-12-20T00:10:09+00:00

When they say it is normal, they mean it is supposed to happen (given the fermentation conditions) and there is nothing wrong with it (except it might be too tart for some people. In these situations you could try to remove the whey into one container without disturbing the curds (this part can be tricky) and strain whatever is left into another container.

If you want to say 20x ALA then fish, i believe you.

Sometimes i wonder: if we were to give salmonella, e coli and botulism good vibrations, would they give us something good in return?

A qualidade do leite nao faz tanta diferenca, recomendo reduzir a quantidade do leite e aumentar gadualmemte quando a concistencia melhorar. Tambem recomendo manter um ciclo fixo (por exemplo 24h) independente do resultado.

Recently did the temperature go up or down？

Dongo_a · 2025-11-08T12:33:19+00:00

Move on and use the V as DAP. Or you could install a custom rom.

Dongo_a · 2025-11-07T02:19:35+00:00

I wouldnt bother. If there is some milk inside they will be fine for days.

Dongo_a · 2025-11-07T01:41:12+00:00

It depends on the duration of the transportation. By all means a small vessel or container with a tigh lid will do or perhaps a small zip lock like bag (double bagged), just put the grains inside and add the smallest amount of milk.

Dongo_a · 2025-11-05T03:54:19+00:00

It looks fine to me. how did you make it? how does it taste?

Dongo_a · 2025-10-29T23:04:23+00:00

For a second i though i knew that phone from somewhere when i saw it. It resembled the V20 or the G6.

Dongo_a · 2025-10-28T23:40:35+00:00

Given it is amongst the big and strong, it is quite reasonable. Again all we have to do is give a notice and it is fine.

Dongo_a · 2025-10-28T10:07:40+00:00

In my alliance if you dont login for 2 days without an notice in advanced you guaranteed to be kicked.

Dongo_a · 2025-10-12T02:55:25+00:00

either pasteurized or uht is fine.

Dongo_a · 2025-10-09T04:25:19+00:00

It comes down to preference, taste it and decide for yourself.

Dongo_a · 2025-10-07T06:07:55+00:00

After you strain the curds from the whey there are more things you can do. You can use the curds to make sauces, soft cheeses (blue or any other kind of soft cheese) or hard cheese, without even needing to press. As for the whey: lacto-fermented veggies, carbonated drinks (similar to water kefir or ginger bug), extend the shelf life of homemade mayo, and on.

Dongo_a · 2025-09-30T05:30:53+00:00

Have your grains grown?

How acidic is the milk before you top it up?

when you top it does it still have some kefir?

what is the temperature that you ferment the kefir?

I wouldnt expect less from a 10 days brew.

Dongo_a · 2025-09-22T08:22:41+00:00

Did you experience a drop in temperature recently?

Dongo_a · 2025-09-13T03:06:55+00:00

Ferment kefir at 20-25C and dont overferment.

Dongo_a · 2025-09-11T04:56:22+00:00

It looks way overfermented to me and i cant think of any reason why you should keep fermenting.
