Tracy, are you on the Kefir making list? There was something said in the last 6 weeks or so about coconut milk kefir. I think there is some risk. I am sorry I do not know beyond this. Couldn't tell you what risk. Connie

You can make kefir with soy milk, as well as rice milk, almond milk, goat milk, even Water kefir. (kefir d'aqua) The one draw back with soy kefir, the grains do not do as well in soy milk. Allowing them to ferment, <periodically> in other milks- dairy, goat is necessary to keep the grains healthy, productive. I believe Dom recommends at least once every 4 or 5 days.

Does anyone know if you can use something other - say: soy milk - as a substitute? -----Original Message----- From: DJG [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Kefir !! Hey! I've been making my own Kefir for several months now. It's quite the amazing "stuff". I'm getting pretty good at it too. There is no comparison to yogurt and kefir. Kefir is superior in every way. Do a search and you'll be amazed what can be done with it, and the health benefits. Heck, you can even make your own booze with it in a pinch lol. Like CS, the cost is very low, and only the initial price of the grains, but they grow and multiply, then you give them to someone else. The cycle never ends.
