Need help with Goat milk yogurt. and cuturaid(klaire labs)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new here and I have 3 questions ,

1] Is culturaid from klaire labs legal. It has 3 strains

strepococcus thermophilus

L.bulgaricus

L. casei

and cellulose

2]I got raw goat milk and tried to make the yogurt. It did not set

at all.....it is just like milk...not even little bit set. First I

tried to heat it just to 90 F and added the cuturaid. Next I tried

heating the milk to boiling and cooling to warm temperature and

adding the culturaid. Is this because the culturaid does not have

any viable cultures in it....Any one have problems with culturaid

When I make the yogurt with cow milk and lyosan culture it sets

perfectly. So, Next I tried to make goat milk yogurt with lyosan

yogourmet culture

and also one with with VSL#3. both were a little set but still

runny. Can anyone making goat milk yogurt help me with suggestions.

I ran out of all the raw milk just experimenting.

3] Even I tried to make yogurt with eurocuisine yogurt maker and

found that to exceed the temperature....so I am making it in the

oven with the light on. I havent checked the temperature....Is this

OK?

Thank you.

Madhu.

Klaire's CulturAid Yogurt Starter is legal.

You should use the instructions for making SCD goat yogurt at

http://pecanbread.com/new/yogurt1.html#make

Heating the raw goat milk to 180°F, cooling to room temperature

etc..All of the steps are important.

You can test the viability of the CulturAid by making a small batch

of regular milk yogurt with it - that way you won't waste any more of

the expensive goat milk.

Goat milk is always going to be a bit runnier than cow milk yogurt.

You can drip the yogurt after fermenting to make it thicker and less

tart.

The oven is fine - just check the temperature periodically.

Thank you Sheila.

I tried the culturaid culture with regular cow milk and that too did not

set....The yogurt turned very runny and slimy and sticky. It did not taste good(

kind of milky taste). I used to make yogurt with lyosan culture which turns out

perfect. I ran out of it and ordered culturaid along with some probiotics from

klaire. I guess my question is If anyone tried the yogurt with culturaid and if

it was good. If it is then the culturaid I have is not good.

Thank you,

Madhu.

Hi Madhu,

<< I tried the culturaid culture with regular cow milk and that too did

If it turned out the same way with cow milk then I think your yogurt

starter is likely bad. I'd contact the company and ask for a refund or

replacement.
