You can use cow yogurt as a starter or save some of your goat yogurt to start the next batch. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 The question is whether or not your child tolerates any amount of cow milk. If you use cow-milk yogurt as a starter, the resulting yogurt will have traces of cow milk in it. If this is tolerated, then you're set. If not, then you'll need to order a non-dairy starter from GIPro Health or Custom Probiotics, because goat milk yogurt without added thickeners (tapioca or whatever) is really hard to find.

" If you've been using one of the allowed store-bought brands of yogurt as the starter, then you haven't been doing anything technically " wrong " . But if you haven't been using one of the brands that are listed on Elaine's website (http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info) then you need to switch brands of yogurt. Also, if your child is sensitive to cow's milk, it might be best to use a non-dairy yogurt starter to make the goat yogurt.

This method is fine as long as it has the correct yogurt starter bacterial strains. It must have L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. In addition to these either L. acidophilus or L. casei are okay to have. You don't want any bifidum bacteria. > You can use cow yogurt as a starter or save some of your goat yogurt to start the next > batch. > > Carol F. > If you are doing the Second generation yogurt follow these instruction from the BTVC website - the " NOTE " is especially important: (http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yog_ starters.htm) " Second Generation yogurt:This is a method of greatly diluting the cows milk content of our goat yoghurt. Many who can't tolerate cow yoghurt have great success with this. Use a cow starter to ferment some goat milk for 24 hours(do not eat this batch) Use this resulting goat yoghurt as a starter to ferment for 24 hours the second batch of goat milk of which we will eat. NOTE: Do not use the eating batches to ferment other batches or undesirable strains will creep in or the existing bacteria can mutate.
