Re: Making yogurt ...............................please help!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Dannon plain yogurt is legal to use for a starter. Get the full fat version, not the low fat and check the label just to be sure but it should not contain any illegals like pectin, thickeners, etc. Also, FAGE Total yogurt is a legal starter.

For other legal starters see, http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yog_starters.htm

The higher the milk fat, the less tart and thicker the yogurt will be. That's why some people use half & half or even full cream. You make the yogurt the same way you would just using regular milk.

You are planning to pasteurize (heat to 185*F) your raw goat's milk, right?

Take care,

Hello again,I was going to go ahead and try to make yogurt this morning in my oven by changing the light bulb. I bought some organic stonyfield farms yogurt a few days back that I was going to use for the starter and didn't know that it had "bifidus" in it. I just now read where you don't need to use yogurt that has that in it. What brand do I buy that does not have that in it??? Does anyone know??? Also, I see where some of you use half & half. Is that better? How do you do it with that? Can you give me some recipes for yogurt made different ways? I don't remember seeing the yogurt using half & half in the book. Of course I may have over looked it. I have my raw goat milk ready and was hoping to get a run of yogurt going this morning but it appears that I have the wrong starter yogurt from the store. Any information would be very appreciative. Also, I would like to thank everyone for

answering all my questions. I can't express how wonderful it is to find people to talk with about your problems that actually understand you. God bless all!Tonya Diverticulitis 12/7/08SCD 1/13/09
