You can use it if you soak grains before cooking (usually a few Tbsp. of whey for ever 2 cups of water--can't remember the exact ratio recommended but I usually eye-ball it). If you make homemade mayonnaise, adding 1 Tbsp. of whey for every cup of mayo will make the homemade mayo last for 6 months instead of 2 weeks (let it sit on the counter for 7-12 hours before refrigerating it). It's called for in fermented salsa . It's supposed to be very good for the elderly as well.

It's also useful to speed up the fermentation of homemade sauerkraut.

does cooking kill off the good stuff like it does with other ferments?

Yes. Although in Gut and Psychology Syndrome NCM wrote that even dead probiotics are beneficial.

I have to say this thread has inspired me to start making kefir again! Where can I get grains, though? Last time I lived in a different state and the farmers that we got milk from shared some of their grains with us. I don't know anyone locally who makes kefir (well...I don't know very many people locally so that's probably why!). If I order from online somewhere will it still be a strong culture and work just like the grains I had before?
