Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi Penny, Go to pecanbread and read the section called " goat yogurt. " If you scroll down a bit, there is a section with pictures called " making SCD yogurt " . Those are the directions you need to follow. Sue (from Pickering) Mom to , 4.5, formerly?

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi Penny, If I read your post correctly, you stated that you added the starter before you cooled the yogurt to room temperature. If this is what you did, then that is definitely what went wrong. First, you have to cool the milk to room temp., and then add starter to about a 1/2 cup milk and mix until starter is completely dissolved. Then add this mixture to rest of milk and stir. Put in yogurt maker and you are all set. I hope this makes sense...I'm a little sleepy right now. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 " So I tried my first batch of yogurt and of course it didn't turn out. I followed the directions on the Salton yogurt maker. Maybe that was my mistake. " I don't know what the directions on the Salton say, but what you wrote sounds right. Except, boiling the milk. Goat milk will not be boiling at 180 degrees. Check the photo directions on pecanbread.com and see if you did what it shows. It should not have been watery. It almost sounds like your yogurt maker did not turn on. Was the yogurt warm when you removed it from the yogurt maker? Jody mom to -5 and -7 SCD 14 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Penny, > So I tried my first batch of yogurt and of course it didn't turn out. I followed the directions on the Salton yogurt maker. Maybe that was my mistake. I boiled the goat milk to the proper temp and then cooled it down to the proper temp after adding the starter. You cooled it down " after " adding the starter? When EXACTLY did you add the starter? It's supposed to be added once the milk is down to about 110F, otherwise all the good guys get killed.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Jody: I'm not sure whether it was warm or not. I'll have to check it out. Based on what I described should I use it or not?

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Bummer. I knew I screwed this up. Thanks for the clarification.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 " I boiled the goat milk to the proper temp and then cooled it down to the proper temp after adding the starter. " Penny, I read this too quickly last night. You cool the yogurt BEFORE you add the starter. Also, goat milk should not be boiled. Heat the milk to 180 degrees. Then cool to 108-112 degrees. Then add starter to a few tablesppons of milk. Add that to about a cup of the milk. Mix that milk back into the rest of the milk. Pour all of the milk into the yogurt maker. Ferment for 24 hours. Put in fridge for 8 hours. Then either eat it it or drip it and eat it after it's done dripping. There is a photo guide to making the yogurt along with the detailed directions here: http://www.pecanbread.com/goatyogurt.html And to answer whether it is any good... if you added the starter when the milk was hot, it will not have any good bacteria because the heat would have destroyed it.
