Making Probiotic Whey

  • Categories nourishingplot
  • Tags Food, GAPS

Whey is a very gentle probiotic food, making it an easy starting point for those with deep damage in the microbiome. On GAPS, homemade whey is one of the earlier ways to introduce dairy when building a dairy intolerance. 

To make whey, first make GAPS approved yogurt, sour cream or kefir. While fermenting any of these options, turning the heat up a bit, to 115 or 120 will create more whey, less yogurt, or the like. 

GAPS dairy is fermented for 24 to 27 hours, so that the lactose is digested and the casein is converted to paracasein. After fermenting, take a medium sized bowl and lay cheese cloth folded over multiple times on top. an old cotton t-shirt or cloth can also be used, such as shown. Pour the yogurt, or the like, over the cloth, into the bowl, and tie up the cloth with a tie or rubber band and hang it from a cabinet nob. This one shown is tie up to a Kitchen Aide Mixer. The whey, which is a clear, protein liquid, will drip into the bowl. 

 

If there is a hole in the cloth more of the yogurt, or whatever you use, will also drip through, as shown in the above picture.

If rebuilding a dairy intolerance, it is important to start with clear whey. Some can begin with a teaspoon, some have to start with a drop. Others have to start with one drop in a teaspoon of water, stirring it up and taking one drop of that. Others still have to put the one drop in a tablespoon of water, or a quarter cup of water or a while glass of water – wherever you start, you start. Only your body can tell you where to start. 

Whey is smooth, delicious and satisfying. It lasts in the refrigerator for a very long time, length is depending on the time of fermentation and specific milk. It usually lasts in the refrigerator safely for a few weeks. Bad whey usually has a pink film on top or tastes really off in a bad way. Whey can be consumed by drinking it straight, using to speed up lacto fermentation of vegetables or used in smoothies.

    How long do you leave it on the counter hanging before it can go in the fridge?

      The choice is yours, depending on how strained you desire it. Most of the whey will come out in the first few hours. I usually just strain it until I have they whey I need, then put it in the fridge.
