Kefir maker as yogurt maker

[Guest guest]

I have been using a kefir maker to make yogurt. I feel that the yogurt is

kind of too warm lately. So, I check the finished yogurt temp. today and

found that it's around 120-125 F. I guess there's a problem, right?

" maintain the temperature at 100 to 110 degrees F "

Seems too high.

Kym,

What kind of yogurt maker do you have?

I just bought a Salton and I have had the same problem. My friend

ordered one at the same time, and hers is working fine - at the

correct temp.

I guess they have some quality control problems.

Enzymes (and hence other living critters) die off at 118F - so I

imagine after a while at 120-125 there would be little benefits.

Keep it though - you can still use it for cooking.
