I make kefir and have been doing it for a year now. I mix it with my chicks starter food and they love it. You should see them go at it. lol I have also given them plain yogurt with their food to.From what I've read, water kefir is as good as kefir made with various other media, including soy milk, goats milk, and cows milk.
Anne and I have stopped making kombucha for a while. We'll go back to it later though. We gave it to our chickens too. You're right, they thought the chunks of the mother scobi were like steak.
I'm sitting here drinking a cup of probiotics now, i.e., I just finished working with my kefir mix.
I also make cheeses and yogurt with it. To make the yogurt just use a coffee filter in a PLASTIC strainer and pour the kefir in with it sitting on top of a bowl so it will have something for the whey to drain into from the kefir. you can use the whey in all sorts of ways to. just do a google on uses for whey.then when it all drains out you are left with nice yogurt or cream cheese which ever you want to use it for. Thats the way I do it anyway.
