Kefir is really good for B's and I am buying Lifeway Kefir from store which gets expensive if you are eating a lot. I was thinking is there anyway I can make this my own like you can make yogurt from milk, can I make kefir from milk? Anybody has any idea?

yes it is very easy, you just need a kefir starter I do it often

Really Can you please explain a little more..

all you need to do is buy a kefir starter and then you make it just like yogurt, there are lots of starters to buy on line, I've used http://www.bodyecology.com before and it works well

I have started to make my own kefir as well- we couldn´t get it in the shopes- even though I live in "dairy"land

I don´t use the real version with only kefir grains( the one you have to wash)- but I use a starter just like yoghurt.
So easy and very good.

I went to that website, and product called kefir starter 6 pack, is that the one you got?

Whole foods would have it?

Yes it looks like the type I got.
I don´t know if WF have it- they don´t here- I had to get it from a website promoting homemade cheese , wine etc...

What's the website?  I'd love to take a look at it.

It is a danish page that only sell in Denmark
This is a international board  http://www.hjemmeproduktion.dk

http://www.kefir.net
It is the same website http://www.bodyecology.com

This is a very good page about traditional kefir- made with real kefir grains:

should I buy kefir grains or kefir starter?

Here's a good site with a lot of useful information about making kefir (and other things): CLICK

I think the starter is easier to keep alive- but strickly speaking it is not pure kefir.

okay thank you all... I think making kefir from kefir grains is the best idea, I wonder is it easy or not.. When I order online, by the time it gets me do you think it will still be alive? That's my worry..
