I have a few questions accumulated so I was hoping for some help!
First one is how long is kefir good for with the powdered grains? I just threw some out... but I think I should not have... will it keep fermenting indefinitely? Can I just add more boiled/cooled milk to it and will it just keep going... I have been using the Yogourmet powdered starter... and a new envelope each batch... I feel like that is way more work than I need to be doing? We also just found some raw milk nearby
I have a batch of raw milk kefir in the fridge right now does it have a shorter lifespan?
Can I make Kefir out of skim milk? I have some left over and was wondering if it would work (don't shoot it is my husband's milk ack!).
And SPROUTS! I was going to start sprouting this week... what is a good nutrient packed one to start with? Do I need to look for anything in particular? Can I sprout quinoa?
Also... I have a 9 month old who we are doing BLW with, should I avoid the raw kefir with her? I also use raw goat milk... should I wait until she is a bit older to try it for fear of contaminents? I trust the farm I get it from, they seem really good but I can't quite turn off the fear mongering that has been played in my ear?
