Yogurt and thermometers

[Guest guest]

Yes, I know everybody are fed up with the discussions about yogurt

temperatures, but here's one more story anyway :-)

I have made yogurt on my yogurmet for more that a year and have read

all the posts about that machine, increasing temperatures, dimmer

switches etc - and never checked temperatures myself. I liked my

yogurt and had plenty to do finding out all other stuff about the

diet. Then one day I checked it anyway and found out, it was more

that 10 degrees to high! Before experimenting with dimmers, I thought

I would double check the thermometer (I had the Yogurmet one). I

checked with 3 other thermometers and got almost 15 degrees

difference and not 2 of them agreed! Then I bought myself a good

digital one and checked it by sticking it into boiling water. It

said " boiling temperature " (in celsius it's 100), so I new that one

was accurate. It appeared I had made yogurt for more that a year at a

much higher temperature than asked for. Now I have a dimmer switch

(on top of my converter thing - it looks like a hardware store out

there) and my yogurt is actually a little different now when it has

perfect temperature all the way. And I can feel the difference!

Finally my D is getting better and healing is speeding up :-)

Just to say that if your yogurt doesn't seem to have the right

temperature, it might be the themometer, you should check.
