We have used both raw and low-temperature pasteurized milk. I would just avoid the ultra-pasturized milk. As far as how long to leave the grains, it's usually about 24 hours, but depends on how many grains are in there and time of year/temperature.
I've never done it, but people definitely do. Kefir grains probably came from microbes in a sheep stomach/intestines when milk was being stored there. No one knows for sure though.
Thank you. I will be starting very small with incorporating fermented dairy as I’m trying heal a bad case a SIBO. So in a few months I might be able to start with a spoon everyday. Do you know if I can freeze kefir in portions like a ice tray and it not kill the good bacteria?
My guess would be that freezing might kill or significantly reduce the numbers of some species. Fresh would probably be more beneficial if you can swing it, but frozen is probably better than nothing.
I'm gonna need some sources on all this
Hi, thanks for a great video. Do you use raw or pasteurised milk for your own kefir? And how long do you leave the kefir grains in the milk? Thanks 😀

Tks for the info!
No problem :)
Have you ever just let milk ferment overnight on its own? Where do kefor grains come from naturally?

What would you say it taste more like the super market sour cream? cream fermented with yoghurt or kefir?
Cream fermented with kefir gives you something very similar to creme fraiche or sour cream.
Thank you.
