How To Get Whey - Many Ways

I would like to show you many ways that you can strain whey from your milk kefir, yogurt, or clabbered milk.  For use in lacto-fermentation, whey must always be derived from live fermented dairy products that have not been heated.

I use this drawstring cloth bag sometimes, especially when I want to obtain a large amount of whey.  Notice that I have tied and secured it from my cabinet door (many would advise against this because it may make the door sag or the hinge to get crooked).  But this is the way that I do it regardless, and haven't had any trouble yet.  I used a clothes pin attached to the handle and the drawstring bag.  Notice that I have cling wrap covering my bowl.  I only poked a little hole where the whey is dripping into the bowl.  This will help keep out gnats or fruit flies.

In this picture, you see that I am using an individual cup coffee brew device.  Just line it with a coffee filter as you would when brewing the coffee.  This method would be used to obtain a small amount of whey.  so easy and to do and easy clean-up

In this picture, you can see that I am using a large coffee maker.  All you need to do is place the coffee filter in the coffee maker, pour in your milk kefir, yogurt, or clabbered milk, and let it catch in the coffee pot.  No electricity used for doing this.  

And of course, it's best to use non bleach coffee filters if you can.

In this picture, I just have a plastic strainer over the top of a glass bowl.  I lined it with a coffee filter.

After your whey is finished dripping, take the coffee filter out and lay flat on a paper towel.  You can get a spoon and scoop all the kefir cheese left in the filter.

This is a nice little device for obtaining a small amount of whey.  Works great with thicker yogurts but if using the thinner milk kefir, it would need to be lined with a coffee filter or clean fine mesh cloth.  It has it's own little drip container and a lid that you can place over the top to keep pests out.  It's even small enough to store in the refrigerator while it is dripping.
