A jar of kefir was made yesterday using some organic store kefir for a starter and three hours into the fermentation a package of commercial starter was added. Fermentation was 24 hours and the final product was excellent.

Today two batches were prepared for fermentation. The preparation used 3.5% homogenized milk. A coffee filter was placed on the jars for some breathing. The jars were placed on a heating pad which I use for starting vegetable seeds. The starter used was two spoonsful of the previous batch in one case, and two tablespoons of the organic store kefir in the other case.

I could not readily obtain kefir grains so this is as bit of a compromise until I can get a good source of grains which will become my permanent seed.

The finished product will be used daily on my breakfast cereal.
