Thanks! A soup ladle sounds like a good idea. The bowl I used is clear. It's kind of tall but pretty wide too (probably close to the same. Why is it advantageous to have it taller? I was thinking I wanted a wide mouth so I could manipulate a utensil in it. But I see your point that the thicker the cream layer the easier to skim. What type of container would you recommend? Do they make half gallon ball jars? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then use a soup ladle. Ah, ok, I guess they do make those jars. Mine comes in a half gallon milk jug with a narrow mouth, and I only have quart jars, so I'll have to pick up a half gallon one I guess.

Well yes, it will spend more time because that is what fat does -- stimulates hormones that keep food in the stomach longer. > During my milk fast (which is still ongoing, 28 days), I tried both > whole milk and whole milk with extra raw cream and didn't notice much > of a difference at all in the amount of time I would be ready for my > next serving.

I know that casein is a slow-digesting protein, but I imagine it must be pretty well pre-digested after 24 hours of yogurt fermentation. Either way, it's just the base of the drink. The main ingredients are whey protein and honey or maple syrup. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
