I have some in hibernation in my refrigerator and wonder kefir and kefir cheese could be make with the other milks. I know there are many products made with soy but my gyno told me to stop eating soy as it is a plant form of estrogen and I was having bleeding problems which required a D&C last year. I have not seen any products like cheese or yogurt made with the rice or almond type of milks and wondered if anyone had tried making their own using the kefir grains.

Here is the link that I found very interesting about kefir. I believe I will try it with almond milk. I hope to make a version of cream cheese with it.
For anyone interested in learning more about kefir grains:

Hi KarefreeB,
I know your post is very old, but just in case you see this post, yes, you can brew kefir drinks with non milk media but the grains will stop propagating (this is if you have milk kefir grains). If you have sugary kefir grains (also called water kefir grains), you can brew non milk drinks and the grains will keep growing.
I hope this helps,
T
