OK to use goat milk heated too high?

[Guest guest]

In making goat milk yogurt for the first time today, I think I

over-heated the goat milk. The thermometer that came with the

Yogourmet yogurt maker must have been broken, because the milk was

boiling & bubbling, and the thermometer kept saying it was still

150-degrees. When I used another kitchen thermometer (meat

thermometer) later, it said 185-degrees. I know the instructions say

not to heat goat milk above 185. I'm sure I did. Is this now bad, so

I should start over from fresh milk? ARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!

PS This was using raw, unpasteurized goat milk, if that makes a

difference.

Thanks,

If it wasn't much more than 185°F, you could go ahead and try it. It

shouldn't affect the fermentation process - but, the texture may be a

bit " off " .
