Can these be used to make coconut MILK keifer?

I've read that it can make coconut milk kefir quite nicely, but that soy milk and true-nut milks may not work as well. This person has good info on how to make it, etc:http://www.culturesforhealth.com/coconut-milk-kefir-recipe(Coconut milk can also be used with the kefir "water-grains" to make fermented coconut milk.)

Yes, but it doesn't always come out as thick; sometimes your grains will get all temperamental when you switch things up on them (like even just switching milk brands can throw them off a batch or two). I use mine to make almond milk kefir and coconut milk kefir but it only ever comes out thicker if I add a tsp or 2 of coconut sugar (separation happens regardless). Sugar and minerals are what kefir grains ultimately feed on, which is why I add a tiny amount of coconut sugar (it's rich in minerals). It's also a good idea to do milk batches every once in a while, otherwise they'll starve.

I guess you can, but the shape is not made for it. You put the coconut around the scraper, not sure how you want to do that with a potato :)

Yep. I tried it once using a recipe I had for soy yogurt. The coconut milk I used wasn't smooth so it was like having yogurt with bits of coconut in it but it was definitely yogurt. Hope that helps.

I did not make coconut milk...I use it to make almondmilk...I soaked 1 cup of almonds overnight...and then drained and rinsed them...put them in a blender with dash of salt and 6 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tbsp. and with 4 fresh medjool dates to sweeten...blended for 2 min. ...poured slowly through bag...delicious!

I don't see why not! I am not sure how well the magnesium will absorb? If the flakes dissolve with the coconut oil then I think you have something there..

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

Yes. I do it all the time. Two things to keep in mind: 1. It takes a lot longer for the coconut milk to ferment than regular milk -- about 30 hours for me. 2. The grains need to be "revitalised about every third fermenting. I usually make two 1-pint batches of coconut kefir, then a batch of goat milk kefir. If I store the grains in the fridge, I store them in goat milk.

I dont see why not. I have used coconut oil many times and it has worked great

Yes, you can cook with this coconut milk. And you can add it to coffee (stir it up first). Since you won't use a whole can of coconut milk in a single cup of coffee, remember to transfer the remaining coconut milk into another container, such as a glass jar with a lid, and store in the refrigerator. Storing foods in opened cans (even when covered with plastic wrap, or whatever) affects flavor.

If you can find a recipe for it online, I don't see why not. I use regular milk but I have friends who use it to make vegan yogurt.

I'm not 100% sure but my guess would be no. They are all proven ingredients like coconut oil and baking soda. No real need for that.

I use my milk kefir grains to make coconut milk kefir and raw milk (dairy) kefir. I would refer J. Jones to check out books from Amazon: Cultured Food for Life by Donna Schwenk, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fermenting Foods by Wardeh Harmon, and Fermended, a Four-Season Approach to Paleo Probiotic Foods by Jill Ciciarelli -all of which can be purchased on Amazon.

Yes it can, however, coconut absorbs a lot of moisture so you may need to add more liquid. I would start off using a small amount of coconut ( perhaps a table spoon at a time) to see how you like it.

It can be - but it depends upon how much you use. 2 tablespoons of paste to one can of coconut milk will give you a very mild, flavorful sauce for your curry. If you want more fire, we sometimes use the entire can with two cans of coconut milk. Experiment with the ratio and you'll find what works best for you.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk.The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank.I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk.If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers.Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it.

Yes, you may use any type of milk you wish. I've used coconut milk. Note, that creme and regular milk (2%) create the best froth.

Don;t see why not--it was designed and created for making sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. Give it a try.
