Try some in your plate after you finish your red beans. Add a swirl of evaporated milk and sop it up with bread. M-m-m-m. I bet you'll be able to stand that!

Hey if anybody on here is really interested in water kefir, I've been making it for about five years. I make it with fruit juice or herbal tea (nettle, horsetail, bee balm, wild oregano, linden, etc.). It tastes good. If you want it to taste like butt, maybe you ought to try soaking your dirty...

Here where I live they say kefir grains should be given and not sold. Mine came from my wife's co-worker and I've given grains to a couple of neighbors. There are sites where people offer grains for free (they usually ask for a SASE). Of course if you can't find somebody around you who'll give...

Well, I'm resurrecting this thread again. I've been making successful water kefir for a while now, and I want to try an experiment or two. I'd like to try the recipe RPh_Guy so kindly sent a while back, but I'd like to start using just what I have on hand rather than buy two or three organisms...

I've been tied up by computer problems, but I wanted to give you a quick answer: I want the "beer" to contain some of the beneficial organisms that are in kefir and that reportedly have a range of health benefits. My own subjective experience with it has been extremely positive, but I'll avoid...

Thanks. Are all those organisms listed in the OP above in a typical water kefir? And all but one of them would be inhibited by hops? Or might a middle ground not be found? The other posts on this thread suggest that something between kefir (which I make) and beer (which I've also made a good bit...

Once again someone (me) is trying to revive this batch of kefir... Did you ever get an answer to your question? Do you mind posting a source for that list of organisms? In general (and in detail if you like), how is your beer kefir brewing going? I'm back to brewing kefir after over a year away...

A man once wrote a book called _The Revenge of the Lawn_...

I have dandelions AND clover in my yard. Also ground ivy/Creeping Charlie and wild carrots and wild oregano. I encourage them all.

As mentioned, Creeping Charlie was and is used as bittering in beer instead of or along with hops. It's a lot easier to harvest than hops, too. ;-)
