Coconut Milk   

I think it was not to use the mild unlkess you take it from a coconut fresh 
yourself to be safe.
Do not use it from the meat of the coconut. It was something about how they 
process it or something.  Maybe Dom will come on board and refresh ablout it.

    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.

    I wonder if you could make kefir in Coconut milk?

                Go take a look at Dom's site in re to soy kefir.
                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.

            Hi, I have not tried it because I love the goatmilk kefir. Soymilk 
is
                supposed to work just fine. Virginia D.

                I checked the web for more info on Kefir, and found that for 
the most part, animal milk is used in the process. Does anyone know if you can 
use something other - say: soy milk - as a substitute?

                    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.
