Re: Re: Beet Kvass....thin white film white mold on kefir

[Guest guest]

I've only gotten it when the kefir sits for a longer time. But each kefir

colony is a little different, and yours might have gotten hold of something

that you don't like.

You might try stirring the kefir a couple times a day (a great general way

to avoid moldy things on top), giving it more (or less) air, changing the

temp (putting the kefir jar in a bath of water will change the ferment a

lot).
