Airag is Mongolian fermented mare milk, a mildly alcoholic, sour and fizzy drink. Fresh mare milk is mixed with old airag at about 20 % in a bag made of animal hide and beaten regularly while it ferments at 20–30 °C. Lactobacilli turn the milk sugar into lactic acid and yeasts make alcohol and carbon dioxide; Ulaanbaatar samples held 1.44–2.33 % alcohol.

Airag is Mongolian fermented mare milk, a mildly alcoholic, sour and fizzy drink. Fresh mare milk is mixed with old airag at about 20 % in a bag made of animal hide and beaten regularly while it ferments at 20–30 °C. Lactobacilli turn the milk sugar into lactic acid and yeasts make alcohol and carbon dioxide; Ulaanbaatar samples held 1.44–2.33 % alcohol. Made in 4 steps over 24 h – 2 days. The longest step, beat regularly while it ferments, takes 24 h – 2 days (Guo L. et al. 2021) and runs at 20–30 °C (Choi S.-H. 2016). Lactobacillus helveticus and Yeasts do most of the fermenting.
Airag is made from mare milk, which is high in lactose, and it holds more alcohol than kefir (1.44–2.33 % against 0.5–1.0 %). It ferments in a hide bag with old airag as starter and is beaten regularly instead of being left to set.
Semi-industrial airagMare milk heated to 65 °C for 30 minutes, inoculated with a 20 % mixed yeast and bacteria culture, fermented 10–12 hours at 18–20 °C in special pans; keeps up to a week in a cool place.
Cow-milk "airag" (Xilin Gol, Inner Mongolia)In Xilin Gol the name airag is used for fermented cow milk; mare milk gives chigee. Its yeasts were mostly Dipodascus, with Naumovozyma, Dekkera and Pichia.
Safety
Choi 2016 says airag is made from unpasteurised mare milk, while a 1990 FAO sheet has the milk heated to 65 °C for 30 minutes first. Natural fermentation gives very variable lactose, alcohol and acid between samples (Choi 2016). The CDC says raw milk and products made from it can carry Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella and Salmonella, and that children under 5, adults over 65, pregnant women and people with weakened immunity are at higher risk of serious illness.
FAO's 1990 survey of traditional milk products describes airag as a traditional product of Mongolia, made for several centuries. Choi (2016) notes the tradition of drinking it as a staple in summer.
