#Kefir batch wrapped up. Got a good routine down now and consistently good results.

Just checked my old toots to see it was last July that I started to explore this beverage and fermenting our own from the big lumpy grains.

I've made yoghurt for decades but am only seven months into the kefir journey. I think my frequency is currently about every 15-20d for kefir and maybe 20-25d for yogurt.

Yoghurt making started this morning.

Our little 8-container yoghurt incubator works well for the Canadian bagged-milk situation. When I have one container left, I heat up a single bag's volume of milk (1.3 L) then let it cool. That volume plus the last container dumped in to inoculate the batch makes exactly 8 full containers again. A continuous loop.

I used to just use a slightly-warm oven, with a light bulb left on to make my yoghurt, but we got a countertop plug-in unit a few yrs ago which is much easier to control. It's worth it for the convenience and it's nicely compact to stow in a drawer.

Do you #yoghurt? With a maker-gizmo or a free-form oven approach?

Started some yoghurt and also some sauerkraut working over lunch time.

The yoghurt is about timing - remembering to start a batch before we use up the last of the previous batch – need it for culture.

The sauerkraut is just a process of massaging the chopped cabbage with salt and letting it sit for a few days immersed in the resulting liquid to ferment. No extra inoculation needed.
