(DIY#20) 自制”克非尔”

Posted in 酵素 DIY Enzyme by enzymo on 七月 6, 2009

Kefir Day1

( For Kefir D.I.Y instruction in ENGLISH , please visit “The Tale of Kefir” or click here )

从 Joyful 那里间接传来的”克非尔”菌种, 还没交给 Eden 之前自己先作了两次的, 繁殖的挺快的.

克非尔菌种看起来像椰菜上的小花，玉米般粒大小。随着你制造的克非尔越来越多，菌种将长大。最终，你可以将菌种一分为二。

克非尔做法簡單:

1. 把冷牛奶(鲜奶或生奶)加入玻璃瓶中,过程中避免使用所以的金属容器.

2.把克非尔菌种加入攪均.

3.用纱布和橡胶圈封口, 主要是要让克非尔发酵时可以透气 (让二氧化碳及酒精可以蒸发掉).

4.放在有点温暖又干净的地方让它发酵.

5.发酵后, 克非尔菌种会增多浮在上面, 中间还有一小层如水分般的泛黄色液体, 下层便是发酵后的牛奶.

6.过程理论上是要18-24 小时或, 但由于马来西亚天气炎热, 通常不到18小时就发酵得很完全了, 只要味道适合你口味,就可以采收了.

7. 采收时,把瓶子里的液体用塑胶汤匙攪均,用塑胶过滤器筛过装入塑胶/玻璃容器中.

8.过滤好的牛奶就可放入冰箱保鲜或饮用了.

8. 过滤出来的克非尔菌种可以直接放入新一批的牛奶中重复发酵. 不然就加一点点牛奶放入冰箱保存.

Kefir 译作克菲尔 (也叫开非尔,牛奶酒), 台湾叫克弗爾, 是一种发源于高加索的发酵牛奶饮料;  但在中国也有人叫藏灵菇(西藏灵菇), 它也可能是属于开菲尔中的另一个品系, 我不确定, 但肯定的是Kefir 与 Yogurt 一样都是发酵酸乳, 含有大量有益活菌, 虽然在菌种上是有所差异.

在牛奶中高密度发酵及酵素水解的双重处理后产生酸奶，把牛奶中一些不易被人体消化吸收的营养转变成更容易被人体所消化吸收，而更重要的是酸奶中含有高浓度的乳酸菌赋活因子，可让肠道中因为受到抗生素及坏菌影响而失去活性的内生型有益菌种再次的赋活，改善肠道菌相，给予人体肠道一个健康的环境.

    Hi Thomas,
    I told you I am happy today, now this post of yours makes me even happier. Welcome to KFC !! :)

    Your jar sets against the green looks so serene. The kefir babies must be happy at your home that’s why they are growing so fast.

    My great great granny grain (the oldest one) measures 8in x 2.5in as of today. The biggest one broke into two when I scooped the other day :)

  11. new kawan said, on 八月 9, 2009 at 10:32 下午

    我昨天 收到了 kefir baby 后就加了dutch lady (青色的)生奶, 我没有先把kefir baby 里的奶水strain 干净,今天 24小时过后我发觉奶变得很浓, strain 出来的奶很酸.能喝吗? 不过我把它加进果汁喝进肚里了.今天晚上我就用生奶跟kefir baby 冲凉,才加新奶.对吗?

  12. 凡夫俗子 said, on 八月 10, 2009 at 10:52 上午

  13. new kawan said, on 八月 10, 2009 at 2:50 下午

    ha….ha.. today become tau fu fa already.so happy, thank you.

  14. joyful said, on 八月 10, 2009 at 3:27 下午

    new kawan,

    不必跟kefir baby 冲凉, strain了就可加新奶.
    怕酸就放少点grains 或 加多点奶 或 18小时收割.

  15. new kawan said, on 八月 11, 2009 at 2:40 下午

    换过肾(1 边 )可以喝吗? kefir milk 的protein 会 很高吗,因为他不能吃高蛋白质的food.

  16. joyful said, on 八月 11, 2009 at 4:48 下午

    new kawan,

    Kidney transplant patients have many-many issues to cope with. Anything that affect the immunology of the body has to be carefully monitored with the help of their nephrologist.

    They need to suppress the bodily immunity via medication to avoid rejection of the new kidney so if kefir raises the immune function, they may run into a situation of imbalance.

    I am not a medical practioner, so I would STRONGLY adivise that the patient brings this to the attention of his nephrologist before consuming kefir.
    Please MAKE SURE you do that.

  17. 凡夫俗子 said, on 八月 11, 2009 at 5:10 下午

    嗨 。。。 new kawan 。。。
    我建议你用生奶 (raw milk) 。。。 因为生奶拥有原本的蛋白酵素 。。。 它可以自助消化奶中的蛋白质 。。。
    pasturised milk 是经过高温处理 。。。 把它原有的酵素给杀死了 。。。所以它没有自助消化奶蛋白质中的功能 。。。
    不过 kefir 过的奶会给益菌分解了 。。。
    建议刚开始的时候 。。。 你让他喝一两汤匙 。。。 观察他的反应 。。。 随着日子慢慢加 。。。

  18. enzymo said, on 八月 11, 2009 at 10:11 下午

    Dear friends,

    We are merely sharing the DIY method & experience only and NOT providing medical consultation here.
    I agree with Joyful that the patient should bring his/her concern to the doctors or nutritionists, by law they are the expert.

  19. new kawan said, on 八月 15, 2009 at 9:13 上午

    ok, thank you.

  20. Bonnie said, on 九月 25, 2009 at 4:33 下午

    想请问一下,小孩也可以喝吗?
    领养kefir baby 只需要email名字和地址就可以了吗?
    需要手续费吗?
    Thanks.

  21. joyful said, on 九月 27, 2009 at 12:28 上午

    Hi Bonnie,

    在东欧国家,kefir是家中之宝, 也是日常饮料. 小孩也可以喝.
    有关手续费,我已回复你的email了.

  22. 凡夫俗子 said, on 九月 28, 2009 at 2:28 下午

    hi bonnie
    就如 joyful 讲的 。。。 小孩是可以喝 kefir 的 。。。 尤其是那些患有乳糖不耐症的人 (lactose intolerant patients) 。。。 不管是小孩或是成人 。。。 喝 kefir 不会泻肚子 。。。

  23. Cynthia said, on 九月 28, 2009 at 5:42 下午

    Hi,
    喝 kefir 不但不会泻肚子， 如果在泻肚子时喝 kefir 还能止泻。（妹妹和邻居的孩子已试验过两次，都很有效几乎是立刻见效呢）:)

  24. Foong said, on 十月 2, 2009 at 11:04 上午

    I read from newspaper today that kefir milk is available for sale in some high end supermarkets (Cold Storage, Market Place) in Singapore. The Nancy’s Organic lowfat cultured milk kefir (from USA) is retailed at S$14.95 for 946ml. It is availble in plain or fruit favours.

    Oh, Joyful, I have you to thank for!
    Thank you for the grains!

  25. 凡夫俗子 said, on 十月 2, 2009 at 4:36 下午

    hi foong …
    ya … packet milk kefir is pretty common in usa and uk … esp among the polish community … but …
    unlike yogurt … u may buy it from the supermarket and diy ur own …
    u cant do it with milk kefir from this packet form …
    to brew kefir … we need the kefir grain …
    thiis is wat makes kefir unique that even with the present technology … man cant challenge nature mother to brew kefir without the grain …
    the other point we have to bear in mind is that how many good bacteria still remain in the packet after all the procesing, handling and transportation … as compared to home made kefir … we must know bacteria can die one la if mishandled … hahaha …
    sorry … i m not hard selling home-made kefir … its just my 2 pennies worth of thought …

  26. june said, on 十一月 2, 2009 at 1:33 下午

    Hi, Joyful,

    I had harvest my batch of Kefir on Friday, it is pretty good.
    By the way, pls tell me how to consume Kefir drinks (how many
    times and how much each time consuming)

    Thanks a lot.

  27. joyful said, on 十一月 2, 2009 at 2:34 下午

    Hi June,

    The amount is up individual. It ranges from a teaspoon to a cup. Test out a small amount first and see how you feel then increase gradually to a cup.

  28. june said, on 十一月 2, 2009 at 3:02 下午

    Thanks Joyful,

    I had harvested on friday, and keep the kefir grain keep it in the
    fridge, I will diy my kefir milk tonight, any problem?

  29. joyful said, on 十一月 3, 2009 at 11:15 上午

    Hi June,

    Please go to the Tale of Kefir thread and you will find my views about keeping kefir grains in the fridge clearly.

    I maintain “strong” opinion on letting kefir babies sitting in the cold with or without milk for a prolonged period but some may find it ok to do so. The choice is up to individual.

  30. 心涵 said, on 十一月 5, 2009 at 3:57 下午

    如果把生奶换成母乳会是什么样的效果呢？哈哈。。。。。。。。。。。

  31. joyful said, on 十一月 5, 2009 at 11:53 下午

    心涵你先别笑太大声,阿 Dom 他有试过用人乳来发酵Kefir呢…..hahaha.
    要不要email他,问一问那会是什么样的效果? heh heh…

  32. 凡夫俗子 said, on 十一月 6, 2009 at 11:46 上午

    哈哈。。。 母乳，我不知道 。。。
    不过， 我有个朋友用牛母乳(生bb的母牛)来发酵，给他在做月子的老婆喝 。。。听他说这种牛奶很贵喔 。。。

  33. 心涵 said, on 十一月 6, 2009 at 2:52 下午

    joyful，

    心急的我，等了整个上午，babygrain 还没到我家来，因该是星期五的关系吧？如果明天才收到会有关系吗?

  34. 心涵 said, on 十一月 6, 2009 at 11:13 下午

    joyful,

    babygrain已经和奶奶在一起了 （10.30pm)！对了，我把它放在komputer room 因为这里比较温暖。

    谢谢joyful。感恩～

  35. 凡夫俗子 said, on 十一月 9, 2009 at 11:27 上午

    心涵 。。。
    很高兴你已收到了 keifr bb grains 。。。
    joyful 担心到半死 。。。 头发也白了好几条 。。。
    幸亏她有 kefir milk 补回去 。。。 哈哈 。。。

  36. 心涵 said, on 十一月 9, 2009 at 2:32 下午

    哈哈，非常的谢谢你和joyful。当然也要谢谢enzymo啦。
    我已做了两次的kefir，味道不错。第二瓶的我还没试。对了，我宝宝不知是否喝了我的奶，这两天排便三次，还开了好多次的‘机关枪’！！！哈哈。。。他放屁好像在开机关枪似的，好长的声音哦！！！

  37. joyful said, on 十一月 10, 2009 at 12:28 上午

    Haha 心涵

    你的宝宝和你一样可爱.
    多次的‘机关枪’声就表示系统”通了”,他反应还蛮快的叻. 哈哈….

  38. new kawan said, on 十一月 10, 2009 at 4:01 下午

    Joyful and 凡夫俗子，你们好。
    我有一些问题想问你们。我最近做的kefir milk 水水的，味道一样，奶水一样，时间一样。就是没有泡泡。每次我做好的用筷子搅一搅就起泡泡好象coca-cola这一次的死死的。。是不是睡了，还是sakit 呢！thank you.

  39. joyful said, on 十一月 11, 2009 at 2:15 下午

    New Kawan friend,

    I have answered you in the Tale of Kefir thread liao.

    如果你没把 kefirbaby 放入冰箱, 它是不会睡着的.
    Sakit?? No lah !!

  40. SHIRLEY said, on 十一月 14, 2009 at 12:44 下午

    HI JOYFUL。
    I RECEIVED MY KEFIR GRAIN ON TUESDAY MORNING。
    已成功发酵，谢谢指导
    感恩您无私的付出。。。

  41. joyful said, on 十一月 15, 2009 at 12:35 上午

    Hi Shirley,

    Excellent. I am happy for you. Keep going :)

  42. yoong said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 1:48 下午

    I just want to know what is the advantages to take this kefir? Is it very good to the ppl (kid & eldest) those poor health ?

  43. joyful said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 2:54 下午

    Hi Yoong,

    Kefir is a kind of cultured milk containing powerful probiotics (friendly bacteria) which is beneficial to our digestive system. It is similar to yogurt but more therapeutic than yogurt. It is very good for people of all ages including young infants.

    I have highlighted some health benefits of kefir in “the Tale of Kefir” thread and some recommended links. Please go over there to read up.

  44. june said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 3:03 下午

    Joyful,

    My kefir milk taste very sour, the kids don’t like it very much, for me, not really
    like milk products also drink it very ” gerlie ” leh (cantonese)

    Am I right the kefir milk is like ” tao cheong sui” and is 粗粗的。

  45. enzymo said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 5:56 下午

    Just a short general comment to all …….
    We like to feed our kids with what we like to eat, that’s how we pass on our bad habit to our next generation. Many parents like to feed their kids with sweet thing (sugar) because their kids like it, if you have already done so, it is very difficult to change it already, but if you are concern about your kids’ health you should find a way to stop it.

  46. joyful said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 10:18 下午

    Hi Thomas,

    I couldn’t agree more with what you said. Medical people said that many types of illnesses like diabetes etc are hereditary but I tend to think that it is the result of the poor eating habits cultivated in a particular family. If we interview and do a case study on the typical food preference of a family with many cases of diabetes, it is not difficult to find out that what I said is perhaps right.

    To wean our children off sweet food, it will take a long journey and that journey ought to start from parents ie. ourselves.

    Start from our daily drinks and beverages. Cut down sugar in your drinks gradually over a period of time and then reduce it further to nil. Drink only no sugar added beverages. By the time your taste bud can accept no sugar added beverages, you will find that you begin to enjoy the drink in its natural state and taste. You will also find that a slight sweetness in your drinks will put you off.

    Before we as parents can achieve this, it is close to impossible for your child to do away with sugar. It starts with you and me, yes, you and me.

  47. joyful said, on 十一月 20, 2009 at 11:10 下午

    Hi June,

    You are in control of the taste of your kefir in terms of sourness. Use less grains or more milk or strain earlier, then it will be less sour. I begin to sound like a long-winded auntie (长气婆) to say this all over again, hahaha.

    You mean your “tao cheong sui” tastes sour one ar? How can kefir tastes like “tau cheong sui” (soya bean drink) leh? No, kefir tastes more like yogurt.

    I think 粗粗 is because of the curd. You probably have strained the kefir using a big holes strainer or colander. The smaller grains got through the strainer together with the curd causing the 粗粗 feeling in your mouth.

    Sometimes, healthy food may not be the best tasting food in your mouth.

  48. 凡夫俗子 said, on 十一月 23, 2009 at 4:10 下午

    hi thomas / joyful …
    b4 i started to diy enzyme … i have had hardly any form of sugar in our kitchen … 1 kg of sugar can last ages …

    of course … that does not mean i have no sweet tooth … i love ice cream … hehehe … but not so often la …

  49. june said, on 十一月 24, 2009 at 10:18 上午

    hi, Joyful,

    I had just harvested my kefir milk last night, using Goodday brand, what I noticed,
    the whey not yellowish liquid, and after strained,the grains got transparent bubbles,
    I kept the strained kefir milk in the fridge, this morning, I found that there are 3 layers , kefir milk, whey and curb as well, it looks like 2nd fermentation?????

    Pls advise. TQ

  50. joyful said, on 十一月 24, 2009 at 6:43 下午

    Hi June,

    Sometimes when you change to a new brand of milk, the kefir grains will give you a brew that is inconsistent, up to a few batches. Bubbles are normal signs of active fermentation especially if you keep the jar with close lid.

    Fermentation continues even when you store the strained kefir in the fridge. There will be tiny kefir babies in the strained kefir doing the baby stunts, hahaha. So, you may notice separation into layers, perfectly normal.

    Whey wasn’t yellowish? What color then?

  51. june said, on 十一月 25, 2009 at 5:28 下午

    hi, Joyful,

    the whey for “goodday” brand is (looks like very light 洗米水” colour.

  52. june said, on 十一月 25, 2009 at 5:46 下午

    hi, Joyful,

    drinking kefir milk direct fr the fridge 会寒凉吗?

    谢谢

  53. 凡夫俗子 said, on 十一月 26, 2009 at 4:29 下午

    june …
    if u r afraid of 寒凉 … u can take the portion u wanna drink the nite b4 … leave on ur kitchen table top … by morning, the kefir is not cold anymore …
    in fact … this method … u will find a secondary fermentation … making the kefir more creamy like melted ice cream …

  54. joyful said, on 十一月 27, 2009 at 12:08 上午

    Hi June,

    The color of the whey according to your description is normal. It has a slight milk content in it.

    凡夫俗子’s method to avoid 寒凉 is easy and good. Try that.

    I am not very good in Chinese way of classifying food in terms of cooling or heaty. People often says that my style is very ang-mo style if you know what I mean, hahaha.

  55. june said, on 十一月 30, 2009 at 10:36 上午

    hi morning, Joyful & 凡夫俗子,

    Thanks for reply.

    Joyful, may I know the actually procedure for diy vco using kefir grains.

    Thanks

  56. joyful said, on 十一月 30, 2009 at 11:01 下午

    Hi June,

    I have shared the methods in Homemade Virgin Coconut Oil thread.
