As long as the milk is cooled to room temp or a little lower it is OK. Ift can

be refrigerated

to bring down the temperature but I don't think it should be left there. I am

not sure

about this in fact once rewarmed my milk in error when I thought it was too

cool, but

Sheila said this was not necessary.

180 and no more than 185 should see the milk at the simmering point.

>When I read about milk nutrient the more natural/raw the better.

Raw milk is allowed but make sure the source is very very reliable. When you

bring it to the

simmer/boil it makes it safe like pasteurizing.

Yes, you can refrigerate or freeze the portion you don't use, but,

you will have to reheat the milk prior to make it into yogurt (even

if you heated it with the first batch). I get raw milk and since I

now have a fridge full of yogurt I am going to measure out the

amounts that I can use in my yogurt maker and freeze it in

appropriate sized containers (leaving space for the expansion in the

freezer).

Goat milk is to 180°F (maximum of 185°F)

Cow milk you can boil.
