Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi I guess UHT must stand for Ultra High Temperature? Or something? Anyway, I think I know what you mean...... it comes in the aseptic packages, the square boxes, right? I think it's fine as long as nothing's added to it......and as long as it makes a successful yogurt, I think you can use it. Obviously, it would be ideal to find someone locally and strike an " under the radar " bargain with them to get milk " fresh from the goat " ...... the concern being that higher temperatures do damage the proteins in goat's milk. Maybe you could find out how high they heat the UHT milk? Or maybe UHT stand for something other than the temp? At any rate, it's not illegal if it's heated beyond our recommendation...... it just may not be as healthful. You may lose some of the other healing properties of goat's milk.... but it would still be a good vehicle for delivering the good gut flora. If you were lucky enough to find some little old goat farmer somewhere close that would sell you some fresh, untreated, raw goat's milk, it would be better quality, fresher, healthier. You basically pasteurize it during the yogurt making process because you take it up to 180 degrees F (I think that's 82 C) before cooling and adding starter. I grew up with goats.... was raised on goat's milk.... and only wish I could keep a goat on our little city lot (HA!). I even still remember how to milk a goat! Good luck.... Patti, mom to Katera, SCD 15 months UHT milk Do you know what I mean by UHT milk? It's the milk you can buy off the supermarket shelf that has been heat treated. It's the only way I can buy goat milk here in New Zealand due to red tape applied to the goat milk industry by the cow milk industry apparently. My son has had trouble with cow milk in the past and I'd like to try goat milk but it's UHT- is that legal or should I persist with trying cow yogurt? I can make it into yogurt the same way, tastes good once it's dripped. Can I introduce it as fast as he tolerates it and what are the signs he's not tolerating something? What are the signs of yeast overgrowth? Thanks, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I think we are going to have to contact Elaine on this question. I'll post a reply when we get one. Jody mom to -5 and -7 SCD 19 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi >I could buy dry goat powder but perhaps that is even more heat > treated, don't know. Goat milk powder is spray dried. It is as legal as cow milk powder. If you use that you should only make it according to the instructions (ie. don't add extra powder; just use enough to reconstitute it) The big thing to look out for in both of these is to make sure that there are no additives (gums etc.) > I was thinking after years of D that trophy's were going to > take some time, so I'm very chuffed it's happenned so quickly! That's awesome news! Congrats! Sheila 42 mos SCD, 21yrs UC mom of SCD 27 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I read somewhere that if you use UHT (Ultra High Temperature) treated milk to make SCD yogurt, you don't need to boil it first. Can someone tell me if this is correct. Thanks Rimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
