Re: Summer - yeast in the air

[Guest guest]

CD,

While you are cooking and venting, yes, the yogurt is exposed to the air, and

has a chance to contact yeast. Beyond that, I do not know what would be best,

eliminating all hazards, especially if you have lots of yeast residing in the

air of your kitchen, is impossible, but it may be better to invest a sealable

yogurt maker, one you do not have to vent. I have the Yogourmet from Lucy's

Kitchen Shop, for quite awhile, with a ton of use, it keeps going.

I'm just catching up with the list so am quite delayed with my question. I was

very interested in all of your info re: cheese/bread/yogurt

[Re:Re:Probiotics/Hyperactivity---]. When we started SCD I was concerned about

the batches of yogurt which smelled very yeasty. J did not tolerate those

batches so they were/are pitched (with much regret on my part). Now I think I

understand what's going on, however, is there a way to avoid this contamination

beyond the sterilization. Right now I'm using my crockpot covered with foil and

vented to maintain the proper temp. The yogurt is covered with the glass lid

and cooled in the refridge overnight then transfered into a plastic container

with fitted lid. It sounds like the contamination is probably in the initial

cook and vent, yes?

Is there anything to be done to get rid of the yeast once the yogurt is made? I

just hate throwing away the food and the time.

Thanks!

Thanks. I've had my eye on those recommended on the pecanbread site. I guess

I'll have to commit to one. :-)
