Forgot my milk. . .

[Guest guest]

Hi Y'all,

I left my milk (for yogurt) in the fridge cooling for too long last night. Can

I just bring it out

and let it warm up to room temp before mixing it with the culture and putting it

in the

Yogourmet?

Thanks for the help.

Nope, you'll need to reheat the milk to a simmer, let it cool, then

add culture and put it in the Yogourmet. Basically you'll need to

start over...

Reason is bacterial growth will still occur while in the

refrigerator. You need to reheat the milk to kill off any new

bacteria that took up residence while in the fridge, so that the

strains in the starter can have all the room they need to do their job

making yogurt.

I would re-pasteurize it and re-cool it just to make sure nothing snuck

in from the refrigerator.
