Hi folks,<br><br>
Need some wisdom here. I just got some great kefir grains. The milk is culturing quickly. But, here's my question: We started our kefir journey drinking plain helios brand from the store. It was nice and thick. Is there any way to make my "home-grown" kefir thick like that? Would it hurt to add some yogurt? I HATE milk and can't drink the thin kefir without gagging.<br><br>
There was a good deal of whey in the batch that I strained this morning, but I had a hard time getting some of it into the strained kefir. Even with what I got, though, it was milky and not creamy or thick.<br><br>
I've been using 1% milk. Would a different milk help?<br><br>
Any wisdom, folks?<br><br>
Thanks!<br>
