Need ideas for dripping a lot of goat yogurt

[Guest guest]

We are currently concentrating on healing my daughter's eczema and are

making a lot of progress. In the process I discovered my daughter

handles dripped goat yogurt quite well. My question is:

How do I drip a lot of goat yogurt at one time?

I am thinking of using two quarts of goat yogurt the next time.

I always drip mine in the refrigerator, so it does take up space. I

use brown coffee filters to drip so that I don't have the clothes to

wash. Sometimes I drip the yogurt for 24 hours, so I'm afraid to

leave it out on the counter. I want it to last the two weeks.

Anyway, I went to department store and bought an inexpensive plastic

ice cream container--the kind that holds a cylindar-shaped

half-gallon. I cut off the attached lid. I also bought a plastic-

handled strainer that fits right in the top. It seems to be a fairly

standard size. For greater stability, I plan to cut the handle off

the strainer with a utility knife, but I haven't yet. When I start

making more yogurt (for the Vit K protocol), I will probably buy more

of these. This is the most efficient shape for dripping through a

coffee filter that I have found. I think I could fit a few of these

in my refrigerator.

Hopefully someone else will share other ideas, but this is the best I

could come up with.

Hi foodchallenged,

When I am dripping a lot of yogurt (for cheesecake...) I line a

colander with a clean tea towel/dish towel and place the colander in

a bowl. I allow it to drip to the desired consistency, throw out the

water in the bowl. Next scrape out the yogurt cheese with a

spatula, washing the towel for the next time.

You can also use cheesecloth to line the colander.
