Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Pam 120F is a little high for such a long period of time, but shouldn't have killed off the beneficial bacteria. If the resulting yogurt smells OK, looks OK, then I'd give a small spoonful a try then wait a day. This happened to me a time or two when I was making yogurt. The result was OK. Most " experts " state that the beneficial bacteria prefer a temperature range of 100 to 110F during fermentation, but I've also seen statements from some that 115 to 120F as an upper temperature range during fermentation is OK. Trust your instincts on it, taste a tiny bit and wait a day to see if there are any adverse reactions. I really think it will be OK, unless the temperature went higher than 120F. Kim M. SCD 6 years > > Hello! Yesterday I made yogurt, but had to leave the house so couldn't monitor the temp well. When I got home I saw that it was at 120 degrees, and had probably been there for 8 hours. Did I just kill all of the bacteria? Can I still eat the yogurt anyway? Thanks! > > Pam > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 This has been answered before but couldn't find it in the archives: My yogurt has been sitting for 2.5 weeks in the fridge. Is it ok to consume it over the next week or so? Thanks. > > Do not crack the inner lid. This will allow airborne, and possibly > undesirable bacteria to enter the culture.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Andy, From The Beginner’s Guide at BTVC: · How long is yoghurt good for after you've fermented it? It can last up to three weeks in the fridge, but the bacteria will remain active in it for two weeks at most. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yog_faq.htm Carol CD 22 yrs SCD 5 yrs From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of Andy Ram My yogurt has been sitting for 2.5 weeks in the fridge.
