Corun, tell your friend not to worry too much. All my recipes for 
koumiss add lactose to cow's milk to get the desired results. Lactose is 
an unfermentable sugar which stays in the brew. He should do fine.

>(the smallest quantity of Mare's Match you can get is a 25 pound bag). 

Do you think he might spare a couple of pounds for experimentation. 
Imagine Equine Bainnecor...
