Lactobacillus and Pediococcus
Does Kwas count?
I make water and milk kefir about once a week.
Haven't made Kvass or Kombucha yet but it's on the list.
It's similar to kefir, but my family makes this drink where you put a few generous tablespoons of plain yoghurt in a cup with water and stir. Amazing in summer. Wish I knew what it was called.

It's called yoghurt. Yoghurt was always traditionally a drink
Thread also just reminded me of Boza

is it true boza helps with breast growth?
Used to make milk Kefir all the time. Loved it but milk makes my cold sores go fucking full throttle so had to stop eating it.

Kvas is tasty, definitely worth a try. I was in Sevastopol in the summer and had a carbonated honey kvas... gonna try and make something similar soon, but have no experience with making this kind of thing.

Welcome to ayran wonderlaynd, Burat.
I have sachets of milk kefir.. stuff, sitting on my shelf right now. I've never tried it before.
Should I commit to starting it?
>Anyone make their own milk
Made sauerkraut once, fucking delicious stuff.

No idea, I drank it while living in Bulgaria for a short period. I know it's quite fattening which is good since Bulgarians are all skinny hard working fucks.

No, you should buy Kefir grains and make real Kefir instead.

I have white and red cabbage sitting in the fridge and I've always been scared of fermented cabbage. What's the process for someone too lazy to open another tab and google it?
I wanted to make my own yoghurt since its really easy to do. But I pussied out because I don't want mess around with kettles.
If I permanently move to a country where I can't buy sour creme, i will most likely bring along a box of it, so I can make some.

My friend made it, I think you just shred it and add brine.

To all the kefir makers, where have you bought you grains? There are many sold online so would you recommend one website/seller in particular?
Also what does kefir taste like?
How hard is it to make kefir milk?
Is there anyway to let the grains longer in order to get something more consistent and yogurt like?

ebay, cheapest local one I could find. Amazon may be better but you're ending up with essentially the same thing either way.
Tastes like polish buttermilk, or slightly sour or slightly carbonated greek yoghurt, depending how you make it. You can also flavour it and sweeten it any way you like, I like using banana and almonds and I like it smooth rather than carbonated.
Water kefir is slightly different and tastes more like carbonated water with a hint of diluted beer.
Using different temperature and sugars you can make it as consistent as you like.
>make their own milk
Several times a week but it usually ends up in a kleenex.

Shred cabbage, and layer in a crock with salt in each layer. Pound the cabbage to release juices. Cover the crock to submerge cabbage. There should be enough water in the cabbage to cover all of the cabbage.

Nothing to worry about senpai, the salt genocides bad bacteria

What the fuck is water kefir?
>>7410008
dump it in a ceramic jar with some salt and lots of hot chiles. Put boiled stones on top. Seal jar. Leave it for 2 months on the counter, making sure it's nearly airtight.
