    We make cheese with pasteurized milk. I am curious how much yield you would with raw milk. We get about 1 pound per gallon of milk.
    Yes just cream cheese right now. We can give Philadelphia a run for there money.
    We are using the milk kefir grains to make our cream cheese.

    We get a little more as the raw milk has all the cream in it. Its kinda a head start with the raw and low heat pasturized milk. Try to use vat pasteurized low heat if possible if you cant get your hands on raw milk. I wanna try some butter soon.

    For the most part the yield is close to what your getting.

    Try this: http://www.cheesemaking.com/

    We got our supplies from this gal and we bought her book. I made a cheese press in about 20 minutes that works well. It is one of those hurry up and wait efforts. But if you have the patience to let it age, it is the BEST.

    My first batch of milk kefir grains came from a friend same with the water kefir grains. My son inlaw found the second batch now readily available on the www. He got a 1/4 cup shipped to his door for 14 bucks.

    Thanks Hawg! I had never heard of kefir anything before your post. After a few quality hours with Google, I see there is a BUNCH of cool stuff you can make with it. This is definitely one of those jewels that is worth playing with. The one that had me particularly intrigued was the ginger ale. From looking online, it said you had to create a "ginger bug" and mix it with the water kefir? What is that? How do you make it? Inquiring minds would like to know...

    I cheat for the ginger drink. The ginger bug I haven't tried yet.
    basically I use fresh ground ginger and lemon juice with some sugar on the second fermentation after bottled so mine is more of a carbonated ginger/lemon drink.
