Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm curious...I started making my own butter because I'm continually working toward making as much as I can from scratch as is reasonably possible, so this was another step. While reading about how to make it, I came across some places that said you can mix yogurt with your cream, leave it sit for 12 hours to ferment and then, make butter out of that for a healthier, probiotic butter. I already started making my own homemade yogurt, so I was excited to read about this and am trying it tonight with some of my yogurt. But, that got me to thinking...is it possible for me to use my kefir grains to ferment the cream and then, make butter from that making a " kefir butter " ? Has anyone tried this or have any idea if it would work? I'm wondering since it's not the whole milk, but only a part of it, if it would contain what the kefir grains need to do their job.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 You can ferment cream with the grains and then make butter from it. You can always experiment. I made cultured cream with the grains, it was really nice. From: Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 9:08 PM Subject: Kefir butter?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Greetings, I have found that my grains tend to die if put into my heavy cream, it clogs their pores. But, I can take a couple of tablespoons of made kefir and add that to my cream to ferment it.
