changing the kefir beasties' food

[Guest guest]

I had some great kefir given me by a friend who also gave me a quantity of grass

fed raw cow's milk with it. She showed me how to fill up the jar with more milk

when it got low, shake it up, leave it out for 24 hrs and then it would be

ready. Everything was working just great and then we ran out of the cow's milk

and we were back to our old raw goat's milk, which is great, too. The only

problem is that the kefir doesn't get as thick as it used to with the cow's

milk. Why is that? It still tastes " kefir-y " and almost fizzy, but is not very

thick at all. Just about the consistency of whipping cream.

Any thoughts anybody? (Don't all jump at once now)
