From the several comments there certainly seems some disparity in opinions as to what my bacteria is producing. My bacteria has the appearance of the pictures that have been distributed on the internet and on this thread. I will take some pictures tomorrow of one of the two batches brewing now.
This is my first attempt at producing this kefir, so until I encounter something better I will keep making this material with the flora that I now have. I suspect there is more than one method of producing. Certainly the "expert" methods differ considerably. I also suspect no particular bacteria is exactly like any other. How would one know, since there is no absolute testing method? Subjective opinion only!
