raw yogurt

[Guest guest]

>I fill a jar with raw milk, add a few spoons of commercial yogurt or whey,

cover with a cloth, leave it on the counter and in a day or two depending

on the temperature I have yogurt.

The farmer I buy raw milk from allows me to pick it up at milking time

(4:00) before it is cooled and it is wonderful for yogurt! Warm and ready;

I just add some yogurt and let it sit and it thickens nicely. Last time I

made it in a gallon jar so it would last a while.

*****This is absolutely the best way to make cultured milk - straight

from the animal. It is the way the Masai made their cultured milks and it

is also when the nutritional value is at its highest.

Enjoy!!

Suze,

I add 1 cup of commercial yoghurt to 2 quarts of milk. I usually put on a tight

lid and it takes about 7-8 hours to thicken.

Hope this helps

Subject: raw yogurt

for those of you who make raw yogurt, i have a few questions and would

greatly appreciate some help - even if you only answer only one or a few of

my questions :-) I've had terrible luck with my kefir, so am going to try

yogurt instead and was searching the archives for more details, but didn't

find much info on the following questions.

1. how much commercial yogurt do you add to how much raw milk?

2. has anyone made raw yogurt by adding commercial yogurt to raw *goat's*

milk? (i want to make raw yogurt by adding seven star farm's cow yogurt to

my raw goat milk...)

3. is it best to put on a tight lid, or loose one? or a cloth, as Irene

mentioned in an earlier thread on this subject?

4. does anyone add raw cream to this?

5. about how long does it take to thicken?

6. has anyone made whey from this raw yogurt?

TIA :-)
