Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Does anyone know if you can freeze whey? Would that kill the lactic-acid-producing bacteria present in it? I know that you can freeze yeast and it still works in making bread. I want to use the whey in fermenting vegetables and I thought if I froze some into cubes I would have it available whenever I needed it. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, I don't know what I did wrong, but when I've stored it in the refrigerator in the past I've gotten mold growing on it.

Was it whey you made yourself? Yogurt whey? Kefir whey? Huh, now I recall some other people posting at times their yogurt whey ferments molding or otherwise going bad. My philosophy has no room for this notion of puny whey, sorry. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 , I don't recall exactly what it looked like as this was some time ago but it was yogurt whey. Other than kefir whey (I don't have any kefir), how else can you make whey? Is some whey better than others? What kind do you have that lasts in the refrigerator so long?

Is some whey better than others? > What kind do you have that lasts in the refrigerator so long? > LuAnn, If you can't recall its appearance, I can't assume it was mold and not some other unsavory. Other than making whey from your own yogurt, you can make whey by letting raw milk clabber spontaneously or by straining commercial yogurt. There's also cheesemaking but I assume that's not relevant here. I make kefir whey, which ime is more, umm, potent, and has more stamina, than yogurt whey. I keep a jar going in the refrigerator and just add to it as I go along. I can't really picture even feeble yogurt whey going bad, but I know fermentations I've made in the past and inoculated with yogurt whey were neither as reliable nor enduring as those made from kefir whey--one of the reasons I switched over. When I used to make homemade yogurt, it had a rather short shelf-life--got yecchy--whereas kefir never really goes bad, though it can be a bit bracing. B.
