Podcast Episode 132: Second Ferment Your Kefir - Your Taste Buds Will Thank You
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Many years ago I discovered a way to make kefir not only taste better but also increase the nutrients in it. It is the only way that I make my kefir now because it is so delicious. The process is called "second fermenting." I have to admit that the reason I second fermented my kefir is that it tasted so much better. Check out how in this week's podcast.

Warmly,
❤Donna❤
For the life of me I cannot remember how I stumbled across your videos, but I am so glad I did. I have been making kefir now since the end of December and learning so much from your videos along the way. I tried the second ferment a few days ago and what a difference in flavor and creaminess. Thanks to you I'm a kefir junkie, and I can't go a day without a sip. I stand behind you in spreading the word about the nutritional value of kefir and it's healing properties. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated.
I found this today. Moved me so much. Lost my mom to dementia 2023. I've been on a quest to live my best healthy life. I also want to share everything I am learning from people like you. It's hard sometimes to get across the why. But I keep trying. And I keep finding more and more people with great information to follow. Thank you.
For anyone not following this tip is truly missong out! Thanks for sharing Donna!
Agree. Saving to a playlist
Last week I picked up a bottle of Lifeway brand kefir. I hadn't had any in a very long time. It tasted so good to me. I read the Family story on the side of the bottle. I decided to Google keifer. I've had digestive issues and heartburn for many many years. I take probiotics and digestive enzymes daily. So, long story short, I ordered some fresh organic kefir grains from the next state over. I got them today an immediately put them in my jar and added the milk. Tomorrow I will add my piece of fruit. I'm excited to begin this new kefir journey. I believe in the natural healing from growing up on a small farm. We made homemade butter and cottage cheese etc, but I guess my people had never heard about keifer. I would love to know someone today who has a milk cow so I could get my hands on that real milk!
I'll soon be 68 and lately I've been feeling unwell. My body aches 24/7. I don't sleep well. It goes on and on. I hate taking more Rxs, so I go for chiropractic and medical massage often to get through the days. It helps,somewhat, with my pain.
I really enjoyed listening to your story and I thank you for sharing. I plan to learn a lot more from your videos as I have time. Thank you and many blessings to you!❤️🙏
Did you find any relief from using kefir?
Hello..did u find your raw milk as it's easier today more than ever to get it
2020 was hard for me, too. Lost our mom and our family has not been the same.. I'm just starting my kefir milk journey . Thank you for sharing these videos
You have me so hooked on living. I am walking and crying at the same time. This podcast is so beautiful! Thank you so much. I love you so much h. Your so compassionate and I truly believe you and in you. 🥰😘😋
You are so sweet Rosa. Thank you so much for listening and for the kind words!
2024, Donna I just found you recently via Dr. Davis. I luv your website and all the great knowledge you have, more importantly, I luv how much you care. I am SO very happy to have found you! Ty so very much❤
Aug 2024 just started my kefir journey two days ago, I'm hoping to see some changes in my life. Thank you for all the valuable info
This is the best video ever . Out of all of the hundreds of videos this is the most knowledgeable. Thank you
Donna, I KNOW how you feel about losing a pet! They become part of us, part of our family! I had a lovebird for 23 years, and a parakeet for 7. My little parakeet would lay infertile eggs, and would sometimes lay them inside one of the dishes. She would take all her toys out of it, and lay a little egg. She looked like she was egg bound at one point. I took her to the vet who thought she had a little fatty growth. We watched it for a month or two, and my little bird would just get in the dish without laying an egg so I was concerned that she wasn’t feeling well. The vet did surgery, and my little parakeet died during surgery. I cried for a week, and missed her so much. I took my lovebird to an aunts house one day shortly after, and was telling my aunt about my parakeet, and my little lovebird went and got inside one of her dishes! She knew I was talking about her friend, and I’m sure he missed her too. Soon after, I found a little windup chicken that would walk and lay candy eggs. My lovebird loved it! She followed that chicken around as it walked, waiting for the eggs to drop!!!! So funny!!! Our pets add so much joy to our lives! They respond to our love and love us back, and love each other! Thank Heaven for the blessing of pets! Thankyou, Donna, for sharing all your knowledge and tips! I look for your podcasts every week!
That's such a sweet sweet story. Thank you so much for sharing with me! They are so much fun and bring so much love don't they?
Donna, I have learned so much from your podcast that I'm a fan of yours forever.
I wish I had discovered Kefir 50 yrs ago but it is never too late. Thank You so much for your teachings. Best wishes and love for all.
Donna! Thank God for you! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I have a number of health concerns and I'm super SUPER excited to begin this new life. I have hope now...Thank You Jesus! He allowed me to find you and I fully believe that my best is yet to come. I'm using grocery store pre made Kefir until my real package arrives. I feel like a kid at Christmas. THANK YOU!
Did you get the raw stuff delivered ? I got cow and goat..yum! Wanna add flavor now. Just starting out...any positives for you?
I have only just started making my own kefir as of six days ago, but tonight I did a second fermentation for the first time. I took your advice and only did it for an hour before putting it in the fridge~~I just used a couple of frozen organic strawberries to my little jar of kefir and it's so very good!! I am addicted to kefir, haha! And thank you for your videos and your beautiful heart~~I was outside in the woods trimming vines from the trees and listening to this and it made me cry tears of happiness. Bless you!
Hi..I just started drinking raw plain cow and also goat kefir and love it. I get it delivered..but, if I add berries, can it ferment without the grains in it? I suppose the bacteria eat it, but where does the sugar go?? Lol..sorry..newbie..I can see if grains eat it,and you remove grains, then it would not work to double ferment?
@@Seasideair You always remove your grains before doing a second ferment. I also remove the fruit after one hour or so (and eat it!) then put the finished kefir in the fridge. Good luck to you!
Wonderful, love lemon and orange but my new favourite is physalis. And now passion fruit.
I make a non dairy milk kefir with coconut and almond milk and second ferment with the fruit. Very fizzy, but gets quite sour very fast. That's ok for me because I am low carb but tastes best straight away.
I just started making kefir and the health benefit is amazing I fell so much more energetic today I’m going to do a
Second fermentation
When I lost my dog one of the most painful things was that I felt I was the only one who felt the pain. I hear you. Thank you for sharing. ,♥️
Donna! I got my easy K and I made my first batch. Now I'm fermenting for the second time. Can't wait to taste! I used goats milk and it didn't get at thick as I expected but I'll use it anyway. Thanks again!
Just tried second ferment with orange slice. Wow, what have I been missing??!! How utterly delightful! Thank you!
Can you second ferment from a raw milk kefir that I get already fermented, or do you have to have the grains to ferment again?
I just started watching your RUclips videos and podcast yes 2020 was horrible My kids lost their dad he would of been 56 that year too young brings me to tears just to think of it. Almost 2 years later I got covid and my job terminated me after 9 years of working with them its been a struggle even if I went to the e.r after my primary sent me and I even had to have an EKG and go home with an inhaler they didn't even want my medical records to show them proof. I'm sorry for you loss I understand your pain Every holiday we are reminded and his birthday which was March 14 brings back pain yes some good memories but of a person that was taken away from us much too soon I do believe our heavenly Father has a bigger plan and know someday we will be reunited. I do think our pain and trials are to strengthen us and to help others I can tell you im learning alot about kefir and still waiting but I should have my first Kefir on Tuesday and am so excited I already told my sister about and ill be sharing with her to help her with her help she gets kidney stones and I'm on a mission to help her so I thank you for sharing your thoughts, recipes, wisdom and knowledge because I will be sharing with any family that wants to listen and cares God bless Donna sending love and prayers we all need it
Hi Donna thank you for sharing your experience 😢and teaching us
I freakn love you. You inspire me to be the best version of myself. Thank you for your fantastic podcast, it's just what I need right now 💖
so sorry for your loss, when i lost my dog klaus it knocked the wind out of me, and was very heartbroken for sometime. i miss him dearly he was a very special pooh and was a big part of my life. god bless
There was so much more heart that I found in this video when I first started to listen to it. I was crying right along with you at the end. Losing a sweet animal friend is the worst. I send you a lot of love even though this post is a year later 💕💕💕🌟💐
My friend introduced me to kefir by sharing some of her grains with me and now I in turn am telling people about kefir and how amazing it is for you!
Thanks to you Donna, I started making and consuming the SIBO yogurt of Dr Davis’s book Super Gut and his interview with you really got me hooked and started. Today my whole family is doing so much better and I can see it after only 3 months of doing that. Now just started the kefir, a few days ago. Again, all thanks to you! I am eagerly waiting to get started with the kefir after it’s done activating, can’t wait! Then will definitely try the second ferment. Although I’m starting with goat milk kefir so I hope it works for goat milk too. I’ll let you know for sure how it turns out in a few days from now. Thanks SO much Donna! Our journey of good health is just begun👍🙏🏼 ps…. Just like you, the goodness just is bursting to be shared and I think the benefits just made me so happy that I shared the sibo yogurt recipe and info with all my friends and family even overseas😄
I have been going crazy making kefir cheese. I now have 2 cheese makers. Both made me a lot of cheese-loader in container today . So I just made my Virgin second torment . Used a lemon . Can’t wait. Making. Natto today.
Sorry spellcheck. ~~>Ferment
Such a beautiful person, such a beautiful podcast.
That you shared your 2020 with us. Hoping your shattered heart has healed.
What I have been doing for a while now is second fermenting my kefir with beet powder, cocoa powder, a couple eggs, and some stevia, and make it into ice cream. I also add a few blueberries, and sugar free chocolate chips. I am addicted
Interesting. Do you put all of these ingredients in at the time you start your second fermentation? What are you measurements or ratio? Thanks.
Thank you for your encouragement. I have been suffering from heartburn for a while now and because I found you on wattsapp I have bought kefir grains and just started them today so am looking forward to better health.I’m also going to give some to my little schnauzer who gets episodes of pancreatitis and just got over a yeast ear infection. 🤞Hope it works for us as well.😘🇬🇧
2nd fermenting is a game changer!!
I listen on Spotify and here and your work has encouraged me to actually make my own after years of buying and what a huge difference
Hi Donna I used to follow your site years ago but lost your site on my iPad I recently restarted using my Kefir grains and had watched another site til I found 🐑 Again I also make Kombucha from your site and I had stopped it also I had bought new scobies cause I couldn’t find the ones I had in the fridge (it turned out they were stuck in a huge ice that had formed on the back of my fridge) … lol … so as I only have about a tablespoon of Kefir grains I have only been making it in a jam jar with about a cup of milk and as I live here Down Under and it is winter here what I have been doing is putting a piece of kitchen towel on the jar and keeping it in place with a silicone egg mould and sitting the jar near the oil heater the egg mould heats also and it made me think of 🐑 re using a heat ring or mat for kombucha … lol … in the morning the Kefir is ready I strain it and was putting frozen fruit in it just on the kitchen counter with a lid the next morning I pour the whole jar into my cereal and start the process again … I went into have haemorrhoid surgery on Weds so put the grains in milk in the fridge as I was staying overnight in hospital fun thing was they had to find me a bed as they had me down as a day patient I had to wait in recovery til they found me a bed in Maternity Ward … lol … I am 79 and had a Hysterectomy when I was 43 … lol … so the nurse put a doll in the crib while I was at the loo … lol … anyway when I came home I put the Kefir next to the oil heater … I woke at eleven pm and decided to check the Kefir … it was ready so I decided to peel a lemon like Ewe said but Stupid me used a vegetable peeler well I cut about a third of my little finger nail off Ouch but at least the throbbing of my pinky took my mind of my Bum … lol …
Thank you so much for you being you for sharing so much information and ideas on the Kiefer❤
I'm making kefir for the first time! Can you second ferment with maple syrup? Thanks for the info, love your videos!
I always thought 2nd ferment will cause a lot of sourness so definitely will try! Thank you ☺️
God Bless YOU and Your Path! ✋🏼❤️🤚🏼
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. We had to put our dog to sleep, too, at the very start of the pandemic and it was heartbreaking, I still miss him so so much. I love your videos and appreciate all the work you put into them.
Wow! I haven’t even tried it yet, but sounds like I just found a treasure trove. Can’t wait to second ferment my kefir.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I lost my beloved dog 1 and half month ago and still didn't recover, still can't talk about it without falling apart..feeling with your loss too and guess this was info I needed to hear, thank you for that.
I feel for you! I turned my attention on a new project that I love and put all my focus and energy there and it has really helped. I still feel the little one with me and am grateful for the gift he left with me. But the pain has greatly lessened. You'll get there too. Hang in there!
@@CulturedFoodLife Thank you Donna, it means a lot to me..I am still in that phase that if I start to talk about him or just think of past few months, I can't control my tears or the pain..the comfort is I can visit his grave (in the garden he loved so much), plan autumn and spring planting of flowers around and kind of see him, free and painless, had crossed on the other side..with a time, I guess, pain will fade away..thank you once again for your powerful words of comfort..
@@TheLeyaKa I found that getting a project is very helpful and oh so healing. He is always with you too!
Thank you so much for all the information you collect for us. I am so fortunate to be a part of your community.
Thank you for listening!
Thank you so much Donna, for all you do and for sharing your stories! It helps so much!! You are such an amazing human being and I wish you love, joy & abundance for you and your hole family! Be blessed! Love
Thank you Donna ❤❤❤❤bless your heart
Hi ! Thank you so much for your beautiful words ! Isabel 😃
I like a nib of vanilla bean for my second ferment, and will often shave a bit of nutmeg in before serving
Makes it extra delicious!
I just started making kefir 1 week ago & found this podcast (new subscriber here). I want to 2nd ferment, but I was wondering if vanilla bean would have enough sugars to work, because true vanilla is my favorite flavor in the world. I'm so glad I found your comment, thank you! Big hugs!
Wow that’s an awesome idea 💡. Thanks ❤
U can also try cardamom and saffron both in sm amount it tastes so good
So grateful for this podcast for so many reasons. Thank you so much for your teaching and sharing.
Thank you sweet heart, you have changed my life so much.xx
Thank you Sister, God Bless you!
Thank you for sharing this great recipe for the second fermenting of kefir, very few videos available on RUclips on this subject but this one is super informative, I am new to kefir world and last week made my first batch of goat milk and put it straight into fridge but with lots of strawberries and apricot, will take them few out from jar after listening this podcast, so excited to eating this healthy kefir this evening.😊
I have only tried the store bought kefir which has already drastically improved my health. I have Crohns Disease and already had surgery in 2005 never was really normal my whole life but in the last 3 weeks drinking kefir smoothies with blueberries and my protein supplement I feel sooo good! A thousand weights off my shoulders now I’m going to start making my own knowing it will be even better. Do you have an opinion on putting chunks of ginger and turmeric in the 2nd ferment?
Thank you so much for the wonderful information. You are such a sweet and loving person you share from your heart. I pray that we can all learn to live in love as you do. Bless you
I enjoyed your podcast Donna. I just started making kefir again, except with real live grains instead of from the packets in freezer.
Can you explain again how to second ferment step by step? I. So sorry about your dog and husbands father. It’s tough but we get through it somehow. Take care. 😀🦉
You taught me lots of knowledge about kefir. I helped spread this good food improving people’s health and save lives. Donna thank you. I felt for the lost of your dog . Nothing in this world is not permanent . It’s a journey . U pick up things and lose things in life. ❤️
So thankful for God who has made all the things that make us healthy. When refrigeration came along all the good stuff was left behind. All glory to God❤
Good morning I love second fermentation kefir it's delicious thanks again for sharing another recipe you are wonderful God Bless you see you next time 🙏😇👍👌👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯
Good Morning Maura! Thank you for sharing!
This is so interesting and informative!! WOW thank you. I am new to Kefir making.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Haha Donna, I forgot to take a cup of the kefir I already made to do another fermenting. I am sure we all do mistakes. FYI the kefir and kombucha healed my UTI, without antibiotics and it’s a problem I have had for many years. So glad that I was guided to you. May your business and health prosper🙏❤️
Suddenly after my dad died, I started having recurring UTIs when I never had that problem before. I found this podcast & began making kefir 1 week ago, hoping might help prevent more. Seeing your comment gives me hope! Thank you!
@@BeaLucile I had reoccuring UTI's and was on antibiotics which wiped out my good bacteria, kefir helped put it back. I don't experience UTI's anymore, yay must be the kefir once again.
What about adding honey ?
Thank you for all your info Donna.
I was so moved by your beautiful sincere sharing, Donna. In this particular podcast I really connected with you. And somehow the information about the microbiome and our relationship/being made of microorganisms is sinking in for me more. And it's all clicking into place, info I've heard bits of over the years is getting more integrated. I'm so grateful to you and others who are teaching this and helping people! We're getting it. On the road to having the Trilogy for me and my daughter. For months I've been making and loving kombucha and cultured veg, I crave them now. And so excited that we just started making kefir this week. I'm sharing your messages from your FB group to my own personal FB page and talking about it with friends and family. It's amazing when we find the helpers and teachers along the way, and can also be that for others too. I look forward to reading, listening and learning more with you :-)
Donna-I lost my dogs six months apart. 💔🐶🐶💔There is never a good time! Hope you are doing better. Just found you on utube-want to make my own kefir. Just bought some for the first time. Hope you are doing well😊
really appreciate this podcast, Donna. Thank you for sharing this
Donna, I do have a question? Do you think goat's milk made into kefir has more benefits than cow's milk? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
goat milk kefir have a little higher protien than cow milk kefir ,that's the only difference between them. Cow milk kefir by raw ogarnic grass fed cow milk is the best .
Goat milk is A2, which is better than A1
I am a bio-pro member. I came across your video by chance but I love your videos. I am making kefir with grains and I started baking sourdough bread. I was wondering if I could second ferment with 1/4 slice of orange segment? 😍Thank you
Donna, thank you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Thank you.....I’m brand new to all this, but I feel like I needed this all my life
Thank you for listening Donna! There is a lot more information on my website as well to get you started. Culturedfoodlife.com
i put at least a cup of mixed berries in a blender with a qt of freshly finished kefir and blend it into a smoothie and then let it set out at room temp again for 24 hrs (make sure you use a bigger jar, it will expand)... it will separate at first but then recombine and if it doesn't a quick stir will work... and then i refrigerate, and it tastes like seltzer... it has a little fizz and most if not all the sugar is gone so it is like a sugar free flavored seltzer drink...
This was great really needed to hear your message.
Love the podcasts just starting on my kefir journey thank you for your information
Hello and thank you for your passion and great content!! I have a question. My kefir grains seem to be making good kefir but they don’t appear as pumped up as yours .mine look like mashed cauliflower. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you
Hello! Very inspirational! 😍
My son is 9 months old. I started giving him milk kefir ~3 months ago and noticed a big shift in his behavior and mood, especially during developmental leaps. He is less fussy, more calm and overall happier baby now. I only wonder how much I can give him in a day. He started from 1 oz, but now he easily drinks 4-5 oz of fresh kefir. Isn’t too much for 9 months old? And what about second fermentation? Can I give it to him too?
My pediatrician doesn’t have any guidelines not only for kefir, but for all fermented food. 🤷🏻♀️ so I’m looking for myself 😃
Do you have any recommendations for 9+ months old? Thank you!
Dom from Australia? Any more info?
Thank you Donna.
After you put the piece of fruit in there, do you put a solid lid on it and put it in the refrigerator and for how long?.
Thank you for your assistance.
I having been drinking cacao in place of my morning coffee which no longer agreed with me. Would there be any problem with using cacao in my kefir smoothie? I am so thankful for all the knowledge you are sharing. Thank you.
Do you have to strain the grains out first?
I’m wondering that as well. I’m thinking , yes.
Thank you so much 😊
How can I be sure that my milk kefir is 0-carb, 0-sugar.?
Thank you for sharing your story. Very touching and familiair. The love of animals is unconditional and they are always there for us no matter what.
Thanks for listening!
Me again I also watched a RUclips about making probiotic water the lady said to use part of your probiotic caps and a Spoon full of honey in still water I didn’t have caps so I used some of my old kefir Whey in one and some Kombucha in another as starters I also put a piece of scobies into the jars she suggested putting them on the window sill to have the sun on the jars and they worked the Kombucha one made a new little scoby … lol … I actually took a small bottle of the Kefir water to the hospital as clear fluid that they had instructed I could only drink after midnight … lol … I had been instructed to take a Omeprazole daily a week before surgery taking the last one on the day of the surgery as I had stopped taking it been on it for over25 as I found it stopped absorbing of vitaminB12 and Magnesium I have B12 anaemia and pins and needles in feet and hands grrr but the Anaesthetist said people with Gastric Reflux can vomit under the Anaesthetic. And risks Bronchitis Pneumonia or death … also I had to stop my fish oil for a week but since coming home I have not had any heartburn I am thinking it’s the Kefir and Kombucha that’s stopping the heartburn I hope so … lol … keep up the good work 🐑 do with Your RUclips and podcasts so glad I found 🐑 again
Hey Donna, thanks a lot for your tips for kefir, I will definitely try them. However, I am not sure I would recommend MD Zach as a source of credible informations - from what I read about him, he does not always use credible and verified studies and the fact he sells his own supplements only confirms my suspicion.
Keep adding Kefir to it, do you add Kefir from different days and put it in the same jar?Tia
Loved this podcast. Yes we do need each other❤️
Can you provide link/info/name for this kefir guru "Dom" ? is that correct.. I can't tell thanks!
Ann Marie- type in Doms kefir on yt or Google, each bring him up. I (think) his yt is KefirGrains , (p.s. I also think he passed away in early 2021).
Thank you Donna! I’m enjoying my very first batch of kefir today.
Does the acid in our stomach kill off the benefits from kefir?
That’s very sweet ❤️God bless you 🙏
Please what do you do with kefir grains if you don’t use them as much? I make kefir but it’s only me and there’s a lot of them and I don’t know what to do with them
Can you freeze them or refrigerate them? If so how, Thabks
Amazing how wonderfully the Lord has made the body to work with the nature He created. So terrible the disaster that sin has infected the world so that evil people actually WANT TO destroy our freedom & ability to make ourselves healthy. Proves the Bible is true as it prophesies these things to happen. We’re in a spiritual war & Jesus came to save us from the evil in ourselves & the world. GBY.
I accidentally blended my kefir grains with fresh milk as I got my jars mixed up. What now? Will the milk still ferment? Will the grains come back together? Or will I need to buy new grains and start again? Thanks from a newbie!
Thank you for that podcast. So very touching. I am trying kefir with lemon rind now. Hoping my boyfriend likes it, and will give it a go. Peace.
Anyone from Australia ?
Hi Dona, , I’ve just started on the kefir journey and have made my first batch . Just one question, I have added some turmeric, cardamom, mango and honey to the final product will this damage the sieved drink or will it be ok to chill and drink later keeping all them good microbes?
Hi, I love your channel! I bought my kefir grains from you and have been making kefir for the past 3 months. I recently started storing my kefir in recycled kombucha bottles which are airtight. I do this after the kefir is done and ready for the fridge. Since doing that I’ve noticed that when I take my kefir out of the fridge it is highly carbonated and is like a volcano shooting out of the bottle when I try to open it. Once I’m able to pour it in a glass, it’s bubbling and fizzing like a science project. It takes a while to calm down. Is this normal and safe to drink? Note, I wasn’t experiencing this when I was storing it in mason jars.
Interesting, now I know how to made fizzi kefir like carbonate drink, may be not to store them too long in the airtight bottle ,that made the kefir not too fizzi so everything is ok.😊
Why is it my 2nd fermentation has little amount of whey all of a sudden? I used to have more whey.. thank you!
Can you second ferment yogurt??
I feel like something has gone wrong with my kefir grains.. they had been working great: when i second fermented with strawberry/ banana, i put small chunks of the fruit in. When it had finished the second ferment, those chunks were soft and tasted nice and fizzy/ almost alcoholic. Now when i second ferment, it's like the fruit hasn't reacted at all... It's still the same taste and texture. (Im disappointed because i really liked it before!)
Can anyone help explain what's happening please?!
Is it possible to get a coffee flavored kefir with second fermentation? What do you suggest?
Where did you get your kefir grains?
Wonderful lady 🤩❤
Please can i just transfer the kefir from one jar to another withoit straining and put more milk in to the bottle to start ot off again,thanks
So, you don't take the kefir grains out with second ferment? And you second ferment in the refrigerator?
