Re: HELP! heating goat yogurt

[Guest guest]

Kelli,

You don't heat the yogurt.... but you do have to heat the goat MILK in the

process of making yogurt. This is necessary to basically sterilize it against

competing bacteria, so you can grow the " good guys " .

Goat milk should not be heated beyond 185 degrees F... so I don't see how you

can do that without a thermometer. The complete goat yogurt making instructions

are on www.pecanbread.com . You'll see a link on the home page... just click

that and scroll down.

With cow milk, it's fine to just bring it to a simmer.... which would be

observable... no thermometer necessary. But, I think you really must use one for

goat milk.

Can you borrow a thermometer from a friend or neighbor?

HELP! heating goat yogurt

I couldn't find this using the search function. Do we have to heat the goat

yogurt? I am going to try the Meyenburg brand and don't have a thermometer.

If I have to heat, is there any way to do it without the thermometer?

Thanks in advance.
