Yogurt making - is this okay?

[Guest guest]

I'm making my second batch of goat yogurt. I didn't use a thermometer the first

time, and I see now that it got too hot. This time I have a digital thermometer

that beeps when it reached the temp. you tell it. So It beeped at midnight at at

109F. I unplugged it and went back to bed. At 3:00 my husband happened to wake

up so he went and looked at the thermometer and it was 93F and plugged it back

in. Is it okay that it got below 100 for a time?

Thanks!

Hi Diane,

Yes, it is okay just ferment a little longer than 24 hours. Try to

stay less than 30 hours.

Trying to keep the temp below 110 on the Yogourmet is challenging if

your timing is off. A question on the high temp side.

This last batch got to 115 degrees before I caught it. Does this batch

need to be thrown out?

Thanks in advance! Ron

Hi Ron,

If you followed the rest of the instructions (Heating the milk,

cooling to room temp before adding starter etc...) for making yogurt

if the temperature of the yogurt (using the yogumet starter) went up

near the end of the incubation time the yogurt may be fine.

If it went to 115°F in the first half it may not be fully fermented.
