Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 You will most certainly have lost a lot of your live probiotics by 32 hours. I think 28 hours is about max. There will be some left.... so go ahead and use it, but next time set a timer or something. I try to make yogurt late at night, right before I go to bed.... then, my 24 hr batch will be ready right before bedtime the next night. I put a sticky note on the cabinet where my toothbrush is, so I can't forget..... and/or sometimes I will set a timer right after I finish the dinner dishes that next evening.... so it will go off a few hours later when the yogurt is done. I learned the hard way NOT to make yogurt mid morning one day when you have a DENTAL appointment the next day at the same time!! Making it late ensures I will always be home when the batch is done. Patti Good results with yogurt - more time Well, by accident I left the yogurt in the maker for about 8-10 hrs longer than usual. As a result, it turned out way more firm than before - just about like a usual store-bought consistency. It was in the machine for over 24 hrs - more like 32 hrs. I will try it again to see if it has the same effect. It tasted normal also. I hope this would not mess up the probiotic count for any reason. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 > > Is this another one of those instances where Elaine changed what she said in the book in a note to one of the lists? Because in BTVC, page 158, she says " ...cover, and let stand for at least 24 hours at 100-110F (38-43C). (If you forget to remove it after 24 hours, and the fermentation goes on longer, all the better.) " > Lorilyn > Intersting point. I checked all the yogurt instructions including those on Pecanbread and didn't see the 24-28 hours and no longer than 32 mentioned. They don't say anything beyond the 24 hours.

I tell you, there was no difference in taste at all - same delicious stuff. I also am confused due to reading that same passage in the book. Quote
