Hi, I'm a bread enthusiast, who is interested in other uses of domesticated microbial life.
In service of that interest, I have been researching yogurt and cheese making, which led me to Kefir. Hmm,fermented, healthy,boozy milk product? Yum. But I dont have any Kefir grains on hand , obviously. I do have the tail end of some brewers yeast...
Next morning I have some yeast boozy whey, and some curds of a sort.
Currently the curds are being pressed in the fridge, but I'm wondering- is this edible? Heck what would one call this ? I haven't been able to find the like online , though its seems like something obvious to do...Ate some the curds- tasted sorta like vodka flavored fat free cream cheese
I did add some sugar to the yeast and milk , and I rubber banded a plastic bag on top of the container, but truthfully, I was just screwing around.
Mostly , I want to know if this is a viable way to make cheese, alcohol, or both.
This is the best seeming place I have found thus far, for a question such as this, so what say you?
I thank you in advance for what every insight you can share...
