You must be talking about a Kombucha Scoby. If you lived closer you could get one from me, but I'm in central CA. They are listed on eBay often. Pat in CA ...
Hi Gavin, I have never made the kefir cheese in the mold and left to dry, but have made the soft dripped cheese and it's wonderful. I pour my kefir into the ...
Usually if you leave it out longer the kefir separates into "curds and whey". At that point it's really easy to put it in a coffee filter and let the whey drip...
Hi Gavin - We're pretty new to making kefir cheese so I'm no expert, but here's how it's been working for us. We're using Dom's no-mold hard cheese as a...

The ideal temperature for Kombucha seems to be between 68F and 86F. With a lower temp (68) it just takes a bit longer, which I actually prefer in the finished...
