Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I saw this statement in an earlier post and wanted to clarify: why is it necessary to chill the yogurt before dripping? For the past 6 months or more, I have been dripping mine before I put it in the refrigerator and it seems to work fine for me. I line a colander with a flour-sack type dishtowel and let it drip at room temperature for a few hours after completion of the 24 hour ferment cycle. Sometimes I will even start dripping it and leave it on the heat (I do my yogurt using the 60-watt light bulb in the oven since I make 1-1/2 gallons at a time).

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 But that must mean that it also contains more galactose which is the reason people drain it in the first place.
