I've been growing kefir for the last 2 years and found them to be pretty tough. Sometimes I put them in a water/solution (2 cups water to 2 Tablespoons honey) for a day and that helps remove any off flavor. If the kefir has mold on it I would throw them. A yeasty smell is not uncommon so don't worry about that. Rondi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed BOTH the buttermilk and the sour milk from NYC delis during my childhood. The sour milk is thicker and more of a semi-solid like yogurt. You have to eat it with a spoon. Kefir or buttermilk is more of a thick liquid on 8/25/2002 10:17 AM, titanmeister at titanmeister@... wrote: > Fransesca wrote: > Is this nothing more than good ol' sour milk now " dressed up " and > adorned as kefir? > > Kefir is simply a fermentated milk beverage pure and simple.
