To stretch my cream a little bit I dilute it with well water. I'm wondering if the bacterial flora of the cream will be able to utilize the raw minerals in the water. This is well water so the minerals would be those contained from the water percolating through the soil.
Anyone with any ideas? I don't really see why they wouldn't, but I'd like to hear others' viewpoints and thoughts. Thanks!

why not buy whole milk? when i make waterkefir i noticed my grains grow larger and quicker if i ad a tiny bit of egg shell powder. of course that is a bacteria yeast symbiosis. it is possible that the fungi(yeast) uses the minerals and the symbiotic relationship makes both thrive. or the bacteria can use it. egg minerals are organic though as opposed to the inorganic minerals in well water.

Thanks HIR, because I don't want the texture that runny, half my love affair with cream is it's texture. I use it a lot to give smoothness and thickness, and body to coffee and smoothies.

yeah i know what you mean i would buy cream if i could get it raw. the only dairy allowed to sel raw in the nl is whole milk and some cheeses. I have however managed to sourse some raw butter which i love. eat about 3 bloks a week (800 gram or so). especially combined with honey and in milk honey butter egg smoothys. I think a milk honey butter smoothy is prob even better than cream ;)

We are lucky in that we have skirted the "no raw" laws by buying a share in the cow as you are allowed to drink your own cow's milk.
So we get raw cream in 2 litre bottles and make our own butter although we can get it premade also. We also add some to our smoothies. (eggs, milk, cream, honey and when in season (right now) rose petals from the garden)

Is the raw dairy you buy from easily accessible? In other words can you drive there?

its a 30km drive, 60km round trip.

We have 6 in our group. Every two weeks one person picks up. (45 min drive 1 way) So every twelve weeks we do the long drive for our milk.
Maybe it's doable for you. cream lasts quite awhile in the fridge. Probably around 3 weeks.
