I'm aiming to start producing kefir commercially from our dairy farm. The main problem I am having it that in the step up to from personal (for which I use glass) to commercial is that the larger vat needed is stainless steel, but kefir is not generally recommended to be produced in metal. Have you an familiarity with commercial production of kefir? Thanks!

I am aware of several companies using stainless steel equipment to produce kefir commercially. I am not aware of any of these having any particular issues.
