Experimenting, it was discovered the that the bacteria exist in sufficient quantities throughout the kefir for seeding. Thus to make a new batch, a 1/4 cup of the old batch is used for seed of the new batch. This simplifies the procedure considerably. Pictures depict the procedure using whey and another using a mixture of whey and solids. I allow the kefer to ferment until separation of the whey from the solids occur. This takes place from 18 to 24 hours on a pad set at 40C.
