A difficult day.

.
.
Getting started is the problem.  I am impossibly overheating.  I turned the furnace as low as I dare.  Odd.  I checked the drying grains at about... no clue.  In any case they felt dry, so I weighed them.  Heavy by 36 grams of 500 gram base, I was fine with that.  That just filled a quart jar.  I then fed sourdoughs.  Finally I turned over milk kefir.  Late.  Was only able to sort one large grain, but it was four times the size of any of the eight I started with.  If I want bigger grains... it's a bit of a push, and I'll have to really keep on them.

I also cycled water kefir.  I haven't figured how to get it to carbonate right.  I keep looking for more information.  The thing is, you can't tell a fraud from legit on youtube, and all the variables aren't given.  Too hot, cold, brewed too long, not enough sugar, too much.  Trial and error.  Can't be too far off, the grains are growing.

Little jobs are burning me out.  I am not tired, worn.  Not much juice in my battery packs and they aren't recharging well or quickly.  As well, overheating issues.  Very strange.  Or not.  I may simply have pushed things.  I'll keep at things.  Perhaps a shower and shave would allow things to break one way or the other.  Can't sleep with this heat issue.  Later.
