No, you must boil it to about 200 and keep it at that point for 5 minutes before you then reduce it to about 77. Another thing to try, if the cow milk keeps on effecting you initially, is to make yogurt from goat's milk, which is easier to digest. And start, in each case, with a very small amount, about a tablespoon. > > I'm going to try another batch w/out the honey and vanilla.

This is the kind I use: http://www.lucyskitchenshop.com/yogourmet.html#starter BTW, are you sure that the off the shelf yogurt you used had nothing added and only contained the two yogurt making bacteria and acidophilus - no pectin or sugar or bifidus, which are all illegal. > did, and ended up w/ warm milk.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yogurt will have a good probiotic effect for 2 weeks. You can keep it 3 weeks without it going bad, but by the last week many or all of the probiotics will have died off. I don't know about farmer cheese. mom to -12, SCD 4/23/04 Pecanbread moderator > > Quick question - how long does homemade yogurt last? About how long can I keep it before > it expires?
