For those of you wanting to use all natural probiotics
plus have something living in your kitchen to talk to,
I have these wonderful curd making kefir grains for
sale on eBay. You'll never need to buy yoghourt again.

I'm just curious - I've been keeping a kefir culture for a while now
and I don't find the texture or the flavor to be anything remotely
similar to that of my home-cultured yogurt. Kefir and yogurt rely on
different bacteria for their action and the resulting dairy products
are quite dissimilar, so I'm wondering how you produce an end product
like yogurt using kefir grains as your innoculant?

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

I think it all depends on what you start with - milk - low fat, full cream,
homogenised, unpasteurised. etc. I find that full cream fresh organic
untreated milk (sold only for animal consumption in Australia) gives
the nicest tasting end result. Thickness seems to depend on the number
of times I stir it, and of course how often you talk to your kefir grains
- well I have to talk to someone so it might as well be the kefir grains!!
The taste is different to yoghourt, but more like the curd you get in
India, its certainly fizzy with the CO2 it produces.
