Keifer Homemade: It’s been 24 hours and now for the final product. • Spell correctly Kefir as in Freeze dried Kefir starter Kefir a brand name of Kefir milk Homemade Kiefer is the actual fermenting of the milk using Kefir starter grains. Kiefer, Keifer and Kefir are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Kefer is a misspelling. • Follow the recipe I did not end up with curds. I like to strain my yogurt as I pour it in to the final container for fermenting. That doesn’t work on Keifer (spelled correctly). I think I strained my Kefir starter grains out of the milk. Next time I will strain the cooked milk before I add the Kefir starter. • 1st try successful???? It seems more like my homemade yogurt. It is actually tastier as it does not have that strong fermented taste. It takes less effort than homemade yogurt and I think I will replace my yogurt with this Kiefer drink.
