Re: Dual Yogurt Machines (was more newbie questions)

[Guest guest]

You might want to check out the new Yolife yogurt maker. I bought one of these

and I now make 1 liter half n half (for my bf) and 1 liter goat milk. I use my

own jars in it or various sizes.

I had the Yogourmet before which is also great and makes a lot, but you can't

make two kinds at once.

Rhonda,  If I had the money I'd buy the excalibur dehydrator, then I could make lots at once and still use it for other things, but we are a bit cash poor at the moment and it will have to wait.

That one looks great. Do you mix the starter in the

entire batch of milk, then pour into individual jars? Do you get an

even amount of starter per container that way? That's all I worry

about.

Marilyn did say that the Excalibur is pretty quiet and that would make a lot of

yogurt, if you're able to buy it.

The jars I got for the Yolife are the taller ones of the Unico Marinated

Artichokes (not SCD legal): http://www.unico.ca/cgi-bin/products.cgi?id=43

I used to make an artichoke dish (pre-SCD) and saved up all the jars. 4 of them

fit perfectly in the Yolife. If you're interested I can get the dimensions

tonight so you can see if you have any jars that size. Or if you live in Canada,

you can purchase 4 of these from most Grocery stores, they're about 2-3$ each.

I have other jars which hold about 2-3 cups each and I can fit 3 of them in. So

it's pretty flexible but if you want the 3 liters, then the jars above will

work.

Note that I did try stacking small jars with the tall Yolife lid, and that did

not work at all! The lids on the jars do not conduct enough heat to the jars

placed on top of them.

That sounds pretty quiet. I had a dehydrator before that was just awfully loud.

Do you know how much I would be able to fit in the 4-tray model? I don't have

room for a 9-tray but wanted to get the 4-tray for jerky and dried fruit. If

it's quiet enough I'd try yogurt as well, but would it fit a few liters?

Thanks,

Kat
