Is it good to use? Have you made goat yogurt before? - it is thinner than cow yogurt. Could the milk have gone bad? Are you sure that the milk was cooled to 100°F or below. If higher it may have killed some of the bacteria. Was the starter new? Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The batch in my 1 qt maker was about normal but the batch in the 5/1 1/2 cup maker was really runny. I heated, cooled and mixed it all together and then poured it into the containers. My starter is about 2 wks old and I keep it in fridge. Sandy M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since you used the same starter for both batches it isn't the starter. That leaves the yogurt maker for the " 5/1 1/2 cup maker " . Was that the first time you used that yogurt maker. I have a 5 cup maker that I don't use too often. Occasionally it overheats and messes up a batch. It could also ruin a batch if the temperature didn't go high enough. I wouldn't use the runny batch - especially if it isn't as tart as the 1 qt. batch. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks Sheila, The one that didn't turn out is one that was loned to me. She said that she never had any problem with it but I guess I will not use it again. This is to much of a hassle to have it not turn out because of the maker. Guess I am back to doing one quart at a time. Can you pour the yogart into a glass jar after it is done but before it is cooled? Just trying to figure out how to get more made up quicker. Be blessed Sandy M. Whole family SCD 3 weeks in support of 5 yr old son who rages. (Not nearly as often nor as long) It just keeps getting better. > > Hi Sandy, > > > Yes I have made it before.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Sandy, > Can you pour the yogart into a glass jar after it is done but before > it is cooled? You can do that but it will affect the texture of the yogurt - it will probably be runnier. But it will not affect the viability of the good bacteria. What some people do is to purchase a second liner for their 1 qt makers. Then you can make a second batch as soon as the first is done.
