Read the whole thing, so a fattier milk is better? I've been using cow milk, non-fat. Wondering if I should switch to a 2%+ goat milk. I did get pasteurized, non-homogenized though.
Also I refrigerate my kefir after it has fermented because I don't like drinking it warm. I also strain with a stainless steel strainer.
Real good info, i'm going to up my kefir consumption after reading this, and try mixing stuff into the kefir when I drink it.
Still unsure what to taste for when looking for proper kefir. I usually wait til it starts to separate then consider it done. By that point it's not bubbly like when I drank it before the separation.
