Re: Kefir and Candida Albicans

You're right, it would depend on the heat of the kitchen or where the kefir is being fermented. We keep our house between 68-70 year round, but I suppose our kitchen would 'heat up' when using the oven and such. The kefir is sitting right on the kitchen counter.

I got my milk kefir grains from http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28095816
which is a kombucha & kefir 'kit'. Although she does sell milk kefir separately, as well as water kefir. But I got my water kefir from http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37890530.


My grains haven't really grown that I've noticed, at least not a lot. I don't rinse them between batches so it's hard to tell. I just made another batch this morning and it seems to be a heaping tablespoon of 'grains'. I don't necessarily want them to increase as I'm getting way more than enough milk kefir as it is!

I keep thinking I should let them rest and just feed them in the frig for awhile, too, as I'm having a hard timing keeping up with drinking so much of it! HA
