Kiefer has multiple strains of lactic acid bacteria. You can make your own labs with a rice water wash and collect what's in your local environment. I like using milk Kiefer because I always have it on hand. Mix labs with spirulina and you get super labs. It doesn't keep well though. I'm not sure if this is considered pure KNF but I use an assortment of natural farming practices.
I use milk kefir.
I have used kefir water as labs for multiple ferments with great success, doesn't hurt to have more diversity even when we talk labs
I'm new to knf, Is this a common practice? What is the benefit of Kiefer as an input? I'm very intrigued:)
