Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Does anyone use raw goat's milk instead of pasturized goat's milk when making the goat's yogurt. Does it taste the same? Is it safe to use? thanks sue scd 3 months, CC 25 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 You absolutely can start with raw goat milk, and I think it's preferable, if you can get it. In the process of making yogurt, you essentially pasteurize it, because you are heating, then holding the milk at 180 degrees F for two minutes. That required step sterilizes the milk and gives you a medium for growing the beneficial bacteria. So, yes... it is safe. You don't end up with " raw " yogurt. Actually, the goat yogurt I made from fresh, raw, local goat milk was much MUCH better tasting, and had a thicker consistency, than what I'd made from the storebought Meyenberg milk. If you start with milk that's already been pasteurized... or ULTRA pasteurized... then you have to heat it a second time in the yogurt making process. Starting with raw milk, you only do it once. Less potential damage to the delicate proteins. Patti raw goat's milk Does anyone use raw goat's milk instead of pasturized goat's milk when making the goat's yogurt. Does it taste the same?

I just bring it to the 180 and then start the cooling process. I also do not see this as part of the instructions in BVTC. Can you tell me where this is at? Sandy M.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Oh.... you know what. It probably isn't written in the instructions to do that. I'm sorry. I do it as a matter of habit... because of some articles I have read about the various organisms that can potentially grow in milk (ones we don't want). The temperature guidelines I have stuck in my head... and the length of time for holding it... are from that. I apologize. I could dig that up from the far reaches of my saved folder, if you want. It isn't in the official SCD protocol though. Sorry about that. You're not doing anything wrong. I just take that extra measure of two minute holding time for added peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I want to clarify something I said in this post: I typed: <<If you start with milk that's already been pasteurized... or ULTRA pasteurized... then you have to heat it a second time in the yogurt making process. Starting with raw milk, you only do it once. Less potential damage to the delicate proteins.>> I just want to make it clear that YOU don't have to heat pasteurized milk twice when making yogurt.... I meant that since it has already been heated once before you purchased it, that you are heating it again when making your yogurt. So the milk ends up getting heated a total of TWO times. If beginning with raw, it is only heated once... ever. Again, I apologize for writing responses when extremely tired! Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
