Hi, I have been using the same grains for about 2 months now. they have grown a bunch, but I continue to use the same grains with about double the amount of milk. the kefir has been separating very easily and producing strong Kefir in 24 hours for some time, but yesterday I noticed a yellow film on top (not hairy, not mold like) but something I haven't seen before. What should I do? It smells normal. Do you think the grains are ruined? Should I toss them, or can I salvage them?
HELP!

This is a reply to # 1,035,388Is the yellow on the grains themselves or on the brewed/brewing kefir?
If they are on the grains, it is butterfat and it needs to be removed. Have you been to Dom's site? He gives directions on how to do that, but I just used my fingers to remove it as there was only a little bit on one of the grains.
If it is on the brewed/brewing kefir, I don't know what to think. I'd probably just stir it all up and see how it looked later. ???

This is a reply to # 1,972,330It did. The kefir had a yeasty, sourer taste but the next batch was nearly perfect.
Just stir it up and drink the yeasty batch or discard it, the new batch more likely than not will be normal again with no "kefir flowers"

This is a reply to # 1,035,388Update! The yellow film on top remains, in each batch! Have my kefir developed more into a yeasty form? Its more acidic as well.
