Re: Kefir grains vs. curds

[Guest guest]

If you stir it up in your jar before you pour it through the strainer, you will

have an easier time straining the grains. Stir it with a plastic utensil and

then strain it.

I'm a newbie, so sorry for this basic question....

When you are straining your kefir, how do you tell the difference between curds

and kefir grains? It seems like they both get caught in the strainer and it all

looks a little like cottage cheese.

Thank you all for your support!

I use a wooden spoon or my hand to stir the kefir in the strainer around. The

curds will pass through the strainer this way. The grains will not.
