milk seperating while making yogurt???

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

hope your all having a good week...

I was making yogurt with goats milk, did everything as I usually do

and as the milk was heating it all just kinda seperated and got

lumpy.. any ideas why this happened??

Thermometer is working fine, I stirred the milk etc

can it still be used to make yogurt when this happens???

cheers

no, it went bad, it curdled. not sure why it happens - it happened to

me

once, too.

The

fat separating from the milk doesn’t necessarily mean it has gone bad. Did

you taste a tiny bit on your finger? You’d normally be able to taste if it were

curdled in the bad sense – a different kind of “sour” than yogurt, crème

freche, sour cream, etc..  

Was

the goat’s milk homogenized? As you probably know, that’s the process –

separate from pasteurizing -- that suspends the fat within the milk (because

the fat automatically separates and rises from milk in its natural state,

giving you a layer of cream on top and milk on the bottom).  Some companies

pasteurize their milk but don’t homogenize it. It should say somewhere on the

container if it’s both pasteurized and homogenized. If it is, and you’re using

the same goat’s milk you always use and this has never happened before, then it

may have been on the verge of going bad, and possibly the heat speeded the “bad”

milk/fat separation.

hey again,

sorry it took me so long to reply.. I think the milk is just pasteurised, its

organic also.. though this is a different supply I am now getting.. it seperated

again... I don;t think it is bad though.. as it is well in date...

so I suppose I can still use it... kinda expensive to be dumping..

thanks for your replies...

be well
