Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hi Caroline,You can use a colander or a strainer. And you will need a bowl or other container underneath to catch the drippings. Then you just line the colander or strainer with cheese cloth, I do four layers, and dump the yogurt in, cover it and let it sit. I do mine in the fridge. There are step by step instructions with pictures at, http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/dripping_yoghurt.htmor http://tinyurl.com/69yjtuI boil my cheese cloth to sterilize it.Take care,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999SCD 2002 I'm going to try goat milk yogurt again for my son. The first 3 attempts were a diaster so I'm being super careful this time. I've never dripped yogurt before. How do you do it? Do you use cheesecloth to drip, or the bag that came in the yogurtmaker? How long do you drip it for? There are directions for goat cheese @ http://uclbs. org/recipes/ dairy/suegoatche ese.php Is dripped yogurt just cheese or is it just thicker yogurt? When you drip, do you leave it in the frig? Any suggestions from experienced drippers would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hi Caroline, Hopefully others will help on this. I don’t use goat milk but I assume the straining process is similar? I use a colander lined with cheesecloth and place a bowl under the colander to catch the liquid. Then I cover the colander and refrigerate around 6 hours. I remember a posting from Marilyn on this, and she uses cotton handkerchiefs instead of cheesecloth. Good luck Marilyn and hope your son keeps getting better!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks Donna and Kim. It's dripping as I write. There still seems to be lots of liquid that hasn't dripped thru. Do you squeeze the extra fluid out at the end? I'm really hoping my son will be able to tolerate it this time. I've also asked Whole Foods to special order goat half anf half for me. Has anyone ever tried making yogurt using that?

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks Donna and Kim. It's dripping as I write. There still seems to be lots of liquid that hasn't dripped thru. Do you squeeze the extra fluid out at the end? I don't think I've ever had that happen and I've never squeezed out extra fluid at the end. I don't think it would hurt anything, you'd have to be careful not to make a mess and squeeze yogurt all over the place. Maybe you should just let it drip longer. I'm really hoping my son will be able to tolerate it this time. I've also asked Whole Foods to special order goat half anf half for me. Has anyone ever tried making yogurt using that? I haven't. I've never seen goat half and half before. I bet it would be good though. Let us know how it turns out.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Do you know the brand of goat half-and-half. I have tried looking for goat milk H & H, but have been unable to find it. I can't even find a brand name online to ask my local natural food store to order. Thanks, UC 13 years SCD 6 years > > Thanks Donna and Kim. It's dripping as I write.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Whole Foods says Oak Knoll makes it, although I am still waiting for them to get it for me. If you're in NYC area, I'd be happy to share some with you when (if) I get it. I had to order an entire case. Caroline > > Do you know the brand of goat half-and-half.
