My first attempt oozed all over the counter after the second feeding. Nathan and Peter would be better mentors in this area. My first attempt oozed all over the counter after the second feeding.

I did read about using the grains, and it seemed pretty messy. So, I just made a thin batter with flour and water (maybe 1/2 c. of each?) and added about the same amount of kefir before adding milk to thicken it up. When it looked a little thiner than a hearty pancake batter, I stopped and let it sit overnight. In the morning you could see some bubbles in the batter, and I added maybe another teaspoon of flour and stirred it in. I did the same thing that night, and by the next morning, there was foam on the top. I think that is it... I am sorry, I don't measure things when I cook... Bad habit, I know.

How much kefir grain did you put in, and did you ever strain it out? Was there a website you were referencing? Jeff is getting into SD making, I'd like to have a shot at it, only without the week long starter feeding. OK, so how EXACTLY did you do the kefir starter?

Just keep your starter going and it'll develop strength and flavor as it gets more and more established. Once you get a feel for the various stages that the dough goes through, it gets pretty intuitive to make up your own recipes. Looks great, Dan!
