Contrairement à l’autre, je ne multiplie pas les pains, du moins pas encore, mais qui sait ?
Par contre je multiplie les grains de kéfir d'eau et je les partage.
Si vous êtes intéressé, un MP, je suis dans les Yvelines (78).
Vous pouvez repoueter car je suis beaucoup moins connu que l’autre.
For my #1500th post, allow me to re-introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Seb. Some #AuDHD chronically misunderstood guy finding his place in the world. Born in #halifax, adopted and grew up in #montreal. Estranged from family now living somewhere in rural #quebec with my partner and my dog.

What's shaking?
With the current spread of bird flu, a couple of recent review articles describing links between gut microbiota and influenza may be of interest:

Today's #fermentationstation

What's your #morningroutine?
Regardless of when I wake up, I stay in bed 'til 7am. I then strain my #kefir. Feed my #sourdoughstarter. Check my other #ferments. Feed the #dog and take him out to pee. Eat oatmeal with chia and flax seeds, banana and fermented apples. Drink a cup of kefir. Do my #duolingo. Hop on the #bike. Shower, get dressed and then out the door to run errands.
First attempt at using my #sourdoughstarter discards. I made crackers! Next time I'll roll out the dough thinner to give them more crunch, but either way I'm very pleased with myself. #fermentation #sourdough #kefir #glutenfree

My #kefirgrains are happy and healthy AF and now I have too much to know what to do with them all. #kefir #ferments #fermentationproblems #fermentation
Good morning tooters. Apparently it’s already 20c, but feels a lot cooler. Getting to a warm 33c today #Weather
Was outside watering not long after 6am, it’s a beautiful time of day but boy does time go fast from then on. So far I’ve decanted & refreshed my kefir, it reactivated a lot quicker than usual due to warmer temps. I’ve been thinking a little on trying water kefir as well as the milk, but I need to get some grains, apparently converting milk grains to water ones is a little tricky #Kefir. Refed my sourdough starter again & later today will put the dough together & bake early tomorrow morning, I need a seed mix as well #Sourdough.
My lawns need mowing, planning when is the trick. Has to be early’ish due to the warm weather, but I also need a haircut & want to go for a swim. So all three aren’t going to happen in one day 
as I try not to be out in the heat. Have to pick what to do first. Haircut today, then some groceries. Swim tomorrow after baking bread, lawns in Saturday - sorted 
.
Hoping everyone has a great #Thursday whatever you’re doing. I’d better get moving if I want this haircut, I’ll just finish my coffee 
️ first.
Arrgh!
I thought I had gotten around the issue by buying 3 32 oz cartons of 365 brand organic milk.
I received my order (I still shop online for WH) and - nope. It's UHT.
So the kefir will not be happy. It won't kill the culture outright but it will take it a while to get back to normal, if I ever find regular pasteurized milk again.
well, that sucks...
I finally got around to looking up whether there is significant PFAS contamination in Alamance Co., North Carolina. There is - from a textile plant and a old munitions plant in Burlington. PFAS are in the soil, groundwater, Haw River water, and drinking water.
I knew about contamination from the Chemours plant and Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in Fayetteville - but did not know about Burlington.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered groceries from Whole Foods and they were out of their 365 brand organic milk - which is not ultra high temperature (UHT) pasteurized. I make kefir with it, and kefir won't culture properly with UHT milk. It used to be that UHT milk was mostly in shelf stable products like Parmalat, but now it seems like most of the milk, especially organic milk, is UHT - probably because of its longer shelf life.
So instead I bought a gallon jug of milk from a dairy located in Alamance Co.; their milk is vat pasteurized (a lower temperature method) and not homogenized, but not organic (not that that makes a difference if their water is contaminated). It was pricey - but it tasted so much better. I did not find it difficult to shake it up.
I won't go into the different properties of milk regarding different pasteurization methods and homogenization. It is an interesting and complex topic. Are there implications for health? A controversial topic - IMO there probably are. The kefir microorganisms can tell the difference. Someday I will write about this, if I ever get the time.
I need to make another grocery order and another milk buying decision. Once again, they are out of 365 Organic.
What to do...
World’s oldest cheese discovered on ancient Chinese mummies
Scientists have successfully extracted DNA from a 3,600-year-old cheese, making it the oldest known cheese sample ever discovered. Identified as kefir cheese, the discovery provides new insights into the origins of kefir and the development of probiotic bacteria...

Dice la flipada de la nutricionista que le dé #kéfir a la perra. ¿Alguien me pasa nódulos?
Gracias.
