Put about a tablespoon of the grains in a 1 liter/4qt jar with milk. Put it on your counter. No cooking or machines..Wait a few days and it get's a bit bubbly and tart. Strain out the keifer grains and start a new batch. About once a week you should "prime" the grains in fresh milk.
Dat's it!. Put the keifer in a jar, store in the fridge and your set.. For me.. too simple.. Simple works for me.
Lots if info on the interwebs on how to make it..
