Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi! Well, I have just finished making my first batch of yogurt (whew - glad that's over...ok - it really wasn't too difficult!), and I have a few questions. How do I know that it worked? - I didn't have a thermometer that reads below 100, and I'm not really sure it was cooled enough before I put in the starter (I used Yogourmet) - so I think I might have killed the good bacteria. After I put it in the dehydrator, the temp went up to 115 for a bit before I noticed - would that kill it? I wanted to make a small batch, since I didn't know what I was doing, and didn't want to waste too much if it didn't turn out - I only made half of a quart, and used half of one of the starter packs. My question is: would this be enough starter - is there a minimum amount you can use or it won't work? It was less than half a tablespoon. So, if it didn't work properly, would it be ok to eat it or would we get sick? This whole fermenting thing is new to me! Sorry for so many questions!! Thank you for any advice you could give! Thank you, 13 yr old son scd 2+ months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
