If you use more of it milk is made sour faster. In 24 hours filter the kefir obtained through a sieve or a colander with small meshes and do the above again according to the given instruction.

The ready kefir becomes tastier if it is placed in the refrigerator and left there for 5 - 6 hours. Afterwards shaking up is compulsory.
