Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 what should beet kvass taste like? I'm making my first batch with whey that I harvested from goat milk that was soured for 7 days. It was much more cloudy than cow milk whey - it just didn't separate as well. But, I've been eating the 'curds' part, which is actually more the consistency of yogurt with a few curd chunks in it. It's been great. But I have no idea if the kvass will be OK with the long fermented goat milk whey that's cloudy???? How can I know if it's good or bad? Has anyone found that it takes more than the two days of fermenting that NT recommends? Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I've only made mine with cow whey and left it out on the counter for 2 days. It was really great. It was a somewhat milder beet taste and slightly salty at first. It was a bright beet color. I've never used goat whey. what should beet kvass taste like?

I'm thinking about pureeing or juicing the beets and eating them, or adding them to my dogs' meals. My minpin has colitis or IBD (no real diagnosis) and one of the fibers recommended for colon health is beet pulp. (it's been tested on dogs and found to improve GI health). I'm thinking if i can give her some beet pulp with some good buggies to boot, that would be great! Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I've never taken the beets out before drinking the kvass, but some (maybe a tablespoon or so) usually end up in each glass I drink. If there's any left when the liquid is gone, I do eat them. I give beets to my dogs once in a while, but usually the ones that I bake at a low temp. I hadn't thought of giving them some from my kvass. What a great idea. I would think this would be great for your minpin's digestive issues. After my next beet kvass is ready, I think I'll puree the beets and drink that. Thanks for the idea! ---------->thanks michelle. offhand, did you eat the beets after harvesting the kvass?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hi It is not necessary to add whey again at this time. I make the second batch, as it is in the NT book, by simply leaving a little juice from the first batch to use as the innoculant for the second batch.
