Yogurt- solid and liquid are separated?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.

I made homemade yogurt on Mon. After I simmered the milk, the solid and liquid

(I guess

it's called whey, but I'm not entirely sure) were separated. I thought that was

strange, but

proceeded in making the yogurt anyway.

I put it in the electric yog. maker and cooled it, and today when I looked at

it, it was still

separated, but the solids were harder. Also, I checked the temp of the water in

the

machine yesterday and it was 117. I know that is hotter than desired.

I still have pain all the time in my stomach and don't want to risk anything.

Do you guys think I should toss the " yogurt? " Or would there be any bacteria

alive in it

anyway?

Thanks for your time and help!

Blessings,

Crystal
