I'm not sure I understand the " how high do you heat? " question. I heat the milk initially to 180-185 to kill bacteria and then I keep my yogurt between 100-110F to ferment. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Hi -this is what I was referring to: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/heating_pad_yogh\ urt.htm Which is right?

Is it because it's cow milk on btvc? Oh, I see. I have never seen this before. The 110F is incorrect. It is not because of cow's vs. goat. It is because of the fragility of the starter. This was discovered fairly recently, when people on our list were having trouble with yogurt. It turned out that if you cool the milk to a lower temp (room temp) the yogurt turns out better. It shouldn't affect any of the starters negatively to cool them to room temperature, but it does affect some starters negatively to cool only to 100F. I'll contact Mimi and Sheila about this error. It may take some time to get it corrected because the work is done by volunteers. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 If it affects the starter putting it in at 100F or higher, why is it okay to have it in the yogurt machine at those temps for 24 hours?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I really don't know. I just know it has helped a lot of people, myself included, to have better results with yogurt. mom to -12 SCd 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Diane, <<If it affects the starter putting it in at 100F or higher, why is it okay to have it in the yogurt machine at those temps for 24 hours? > Diane > SCD 2 1/2 weeks>> If you put the yogurt starter (good bacteria) in at the higher temperature some can be killed because of the shock of going into such a warm temperature. If too many bacteria are killed there may be lactose remaining after 24 hours. Gradually increasing the temperatures ensures an optimal number of bacteria in the milk/yogurt. It is okay to have it at the incubation (fermentation) temperature for 24 hours because you gradually increase the temperature until it comes to the best range for the bacteria to digest(break down) all of the lactose.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sheila, That makes sense. Thanks!
