Yogurt maker- I love my Yogourmet. I can make two quart batches.... or one

quart, if I want. It's simple, reliable, and I've never regretted the purchase.

I bought the extra batch jar so I can start a new batch before we are finished

using the last one. Any yogurt maker will do.... but you will probably want one

that has a single batch container (not a bunch of little 6 oz ones in a row)....

and you'll want to make sure it doesn't automatically shut itself off after 4 or

6 hours. The Yogourmet is just ON.... until I unplug it. I put a sticky not on

top of the lid to remind me when to take it out.

Starter- Either of the two you previously mentioned are okay. The Progurt or

Custom Probiotics. I have not personally used either one, I use

Yogourmet/Lyosan, because my daughter tolerates cow milk yogurt.

Goat Milk- Meyenberg is fine to use. It does not have the greatest taste (in my

opinion).... but is often the only one people can find in their local stores.

Trader Joe's in my area used to carry a brand named Summerhill Farms, which I

thought was better than Meyenberg- made a thicker, better tasting yogurt. I

don't know if they still even carry it. Raw goat milk from a local farmer might

be preferable..... you'd just have to try, if you can locate some. I think

almost everyone here would jump at the chance to get good, fresh, raw goat milk

from a local farm. It's just not available for most of us. With any of these

milks, the yogurt making process is exactly the same.

Hope that answers your questions....

Patti, Thank you very much for your thorough response. The Yogourmet

sounds like a good choice and I'm going to try to get the fresh raw

goats milk if possible. I do have a follow up question on the starter.

Have others that were previously dairy-free tried the Lyosan? We do not

have a true cow milk allergy but have been avoiding dairy since we were

previously GFCF. I am open to trying a dairy starter if others have had

good results. Also, does it require refrigeration as I am concerned

about it remaining cold since it would need to be shipped to me in

Florida. Thank you very much. I appreciate the gracious way you respond

to messages on this board.

The Lyosan starter does contain a trace of cow dairy... very small amount. It

*should* only be an issue for those who have really definite reactions to cow

dairy. I think all the yogurt starters are recommended to be either fridged...

or kept in the freezer. I'm sure it could be shipped with a dry ice packet, if

necessary. You could call Lucy and ask what she thinks... her contact 800 # is

on her website: www.lucyskitchenshop.com

I never got a yogurt maker. I have a 38 year old stove with an upper and lower

oven and

have been using the 60 watt light bulb method all that time.

Personally, I prefer my EuroCuisine yogurt maker... it comes with 7

individual 6 oz glass jars (with lids, to put on after the 24 hour

fermentation)... and I ordered an extra batch of 7 glass jars. I

ordered mine online at www.cooking.com with a gift card (timing was

everything).

To make my yogurt, I use the Dannon plain (whole) yogurt, plus organic

whole milk. To make the yogurt thick, I scald my milk (bring to a

boil, until it starts creeping up the sides of the pot)... Then let it

cool to room temperature, er rather, I believe 84 degrees (it's in my

directions upstairs, came w/ the yogurt maker)... then mix w/ 6 oz of

Dannon yogurt...

It's very simple... the directions that come w/ the yogurt maker are a

great aid, but I just use the number dial on my yogurt maker to let me

know what time the next day to turn off, put on the lids, and

chill 'em. Tastes a'kin to Sour Cream, so it's great on mexican

dishes too . You can also mix it in with your scrambled eggs for

extra zing, if you like it... my son prefers them w/out anything other

than salt and pepper. LOL

I love the individual jars because of the lowered risk of

contamination once you open the jar... it becomes a bit runny once

opened and dipped into once, so the smaller jars mean the rest of the

jars are left unopened... less to get runny as quickly .

As always,

Before a friend bought me a yogurt maker....I used a heating pad and pan with

much success. If you want to know how, contact me off serve and I will give

details. So many solutions!
