Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi Stacey, A few of us use the Lakeland Yoghurt maker. We have the spare bowl so we can take one out the maker and put another straight on. The bowls are plastic and the little handles aren't much use for holding them but they do OK. http://www.lakeland.co.uk/electric-yoghurt-maker/F/keyword/yoghurt/product/3440_3441 All you need then is goat milk (it holds a litre) and probios (we use custom cp1).

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi StaceyDr McBride recommended this place and I see they now sell a yoghurt maker with glass containers rather than plastic. They also sell kefir and yoghurt starter. http://www.ascott.biz/acatalog/Yoghurtmaking.htmlTo: Autism Treatment From: sgh33@...Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 21:11:42 +0000Subject: Yoghurt maker Hi, Could any one give me some information on yoghurt makers please, how they work and what else you have to buy with them please.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hello StaceyOver two years ago I bought a yoghurt maker form this compamy as it was recommended to me by Dr Natasha. If you are interested you can have it for free (if you don't mind paying for p&p) since we do not use it anymore. I think it is better for making cottage cheese than for yoghurt though.I then purchased a yoghurt maker with glass jars in Italy for € 20.00 (I believe the make is Moulinex - sorry I have lent it to another GAPS mum) and it was/is brilliant. Very easy to clean too.ValeriaSent from my BlackBerry® wireless deviceFrom: McReynolds <canadacath@...>Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:37:24 +0000Autism Biomedical< >Subject: RE: Yoghurt maker Hi StaceyDr McBride recommended this place and I see they now sell a yoghurt maker with glass containers rather than plastic.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi StaceyAscott also sell kefir starter. http://www.ascott.biz/acatalog/Kefir-Culture-Bulk-Buy-DP3310.htmlI've never tried rice milk, only goat milk and coconut water so not sure if that would work. The cultures from Ascott are definitely safe to use and GF/CF - Dr McBride was the one who recommended this site to me and specifically the kefir culture. I think instructions came with them, can't remember now but it's very easy to make kefir. I've never tried to make yoghurt yet.I found raspberries the easiest way to flavour the kefir as they squish up easily and can be mixed into it very easily. Sometimes I mix fruit smoothie into it as well.Good luck!Autism Treatment From: sgh33@...Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 19:11:18 +0000Subject: Yoghurt maker Thank you all so much for your replies. I'm going to purchase the one with 7 glass jars. The site advises to buy the ascott culture, does any-one know if I'd be able to use rice milk? Elliot is GF/CF so presumably the cultures are all ok? Also what do you use to flavour the yogurt? I did look for a kefir starter but didn't find one, do you use the yogurt maker for this too? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm totally new to yogurt and kefir making, hope it goes down well after this! Thanks Stacey New!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Stacey, You can use real kefir grains. I'm, not sure if the kefir starters are real grains or if these are the type you have to keep buying (?) Real grains can reused and they grow. Kefir ferments on the shelf - no need for any heating. We've only made it with water and goat yog. this is Tim's video: http://www.endofthetunnel.co.uk/video/kefir.html Let us know if you want to try with real kefir grains (we have spares) Sandyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi , I'd guess it has just separated. This is very common. When I looked at ours this morning it had a thick band of whey around the middle. The watery stuff is the whey - we use this for making sauerkraut etc or just stir it in. If you pour some or all of it off you can get a really thick creamy kefir. Sandyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi , That's a long time - we usually do say 3 days in high heat - 8 days in the cool. BUt I think we once left it 10 or more days while on hols and it was OK. A bit tart maybe and in need of scraping off the top. But if you're unsure don't use it - but I would expect the grains to be completely fine and ready to go again after a rinse. Sandyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Forgot to say it depends on quanity of kefir grains - yours won't have grown too much yet so I would expect it to take longer - though still 2 weeks is a long time.
