I wanted to share the joys of kefir making with everyone.  I just recently discovered kefir, or cultured dairy products.  The health benefits are endless but one of the most obvious is to your digestive tract.  Kefir is a probiotic drink that is replenishes your body natural flora/ friendly bacteria.  They say life and death begins in the gut so treat it well.  Kefir is much better for you than even enteric coated probiotic supplements because the cultures in the supplement are dormant because of the need to be refrigerated.  Once you make Kefir you also open this amazing door to more possibilities of organic foods.  You can make curds and whey from kefir.  Curds are made into cheese.  From that you can also make butter and sour cream.  Whey is wonderful for you and you can use it to start Sour bread Dough and to soak your grains before use.  This release the bad acids from the grains making them more digestible.  Whey can also be used to make awesome oatmeal.  The kefir culture multiplies rather quickly and as long as I have enough to spare I would be willing to send people kefir grains for just the cost of shipping.  If anyone is interested let me know and I can answer any questions as well as refer you to a wonderful website Dom's Kefir.  He has dedicated a huge part of his life to researching the benefits of kefir...he's like the master kefir man
