Cois Posted November 27, 2018 Share Made the mistake of purchasing two liters of goat kefir. Was so close to vomiting it out every time. I hate anything goat related. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and sunchaser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanJan Posted November 27, 2018 Share For anybody interested to try Kefir products, take a look on FaceBook for Kief Kulture. They are based in Weltevreden Park and make some lekker products at decent prices. Quite a few cyclists purchase their whey protein and recovery drinks.

sunchaser Posted November 28, 2018 Share Made the mistake of purchasing two liters of goat kefir. Was so close to vomiting it out every time. I hate anything goat related.Also made the mistake of buying goat's milk for making kefir the first time (as goat's milk was not available in most shops... went to goat farm somewhere in Randfontein/Witfontein...R17.50/lt). Could not get use to the taste. Switched to cows milk ...the best! Cois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HdB Posted November 28, 2018 Share I found this recently, it actually tastes quite nice (much better than I ever got the homemade attempts). Probably not quite as good for you, I'm sure there would be some preservatives etc in. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter1 Posted November 28, 2018 Share I bought some Kefir and added it to milk with the hope that grains will form. If not I’ll have to wait till Dec and get some in JHB. Will go tonthat shop in Weltevreden, do they sell grains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried making my own milk kefir, but the flavour simply doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HdB Posted November 28, 2018 Share I just want to add it to my breakfast smoothies. Is it that off putting?I think it is a personal thing - my dad would have absolutely no problems with drinking it unflavoured. I tried various things, including cacao, and drinking it was an effort for me.Its not that it is a horrible, way out taste, but just too strong for me. Like how some people love blue cheese, and others can't stand it. sunchaser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone in Pretoria needs grains, let me know. I will have enough for about two people at the current rate (2 weeks of growth) Pieter1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted November 29, 2018 Share Where in Jhb area could you buy the stuff to start with? I live in Modderfontein and have extra milk kefir grains if you are willing to collect. No charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has she been able to re-use the grains that formed? I read somewhere that the powderd stuffs grains are not as good as the grains themselves.
