Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi Lora, > Hi all, I was going to use Dannon all natural yogurt as starter but I was thinking that powdered starter would mix more thoroughly. Is this right? Both should work about the same as long as you mix them in sufficiently. > > I just called a healthfood store in my area, and they carry the yogourmet starter (I have the yogourmet machine). They said the package says " Freeze dried yogurt starter and creme bulgare starter " and it's refrigerated - I think the package is blue. I'm not sure if this is the right starter, because yogourmet also makes a starter that contains bifidus (in a blue package according to their website) - and the picture of the yogourmet starter on the BTVC official website (and on Lucy's kitchen website) is different. What does the right one say on it, and what does it look like? I sure don't want to end up with the one containing bifidus. The correct Lyosan should say Yogurmet Freeze dried yogurt starter , it is a white package. See http://www.lyo-san.ca/english/yogourmet.html#sechee > One more question, does using whole milk make the yogurt less tart, or would I have to use half and half (which my local store is out of right now, ugh). The higher the milk fat the less tart the yogurt will be. So, @% yogurt is less tart than 1%, Whole milk is less tart than 2%etc.. and yogurt made with cream will be the least tart.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Probiotics usually don't have the correct strains that do the work of fermentation. You really need to use a yogurt starter. Patti yogurt starter Can a person use probiotics to start goat yogurt instead of yogurt starter? Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 > > Hi Carol, > > Do you know why they are not recommended for children? I had bought some for my son, but I stopped giving them to him when you answered my email (about a month or so ago) with this same information about not being recommended for children. > > Is there a probotic that you recommend for children? He eats the 24 hour yogurt, but not everyday. > Since we use Goat's Milk for ASD children, many parents do not want cow's milk in the starter. Goat dairy has smaller protein molecules and is easier to digest. Meleah has suggested a good product for you. Those few who are able to tolerate cow's milk can use a starter with a bit of 'cow. " I am able to use ordinary unflavored cow yogurt (Astro in Canada) as a starter but tolerate the actual yogurt done with goat's milk. I do even better with only 2% butter fat in the goat's milk and the only thing we have been able to figure out is it may be because smaller fat globules hold fewer toxins. That's just a theory. Since I switched to the 2% I can tolerate a lot of yogurt (2cups at least daily.) Children may need the extra calories more found in the 3.8% goat's milk. Carol F. SCD 6 years, celiac ..

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I think the question you were asking was if the acidophilus capsules would work for making yogurt.... The answer is no, they won't. You need the other two strains... the s.thermophilus and the l.bulgaricus... to do the fermentation work. sorry... Patti yogurt starter I goofed and bought lyosan yogourt acidophilus instead of SCD yogurt starter. Could anyone tell me if I could use the capsules as yogurt starter and if so if it is what SCD home made yogurt would come out?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I used Dannon Yogurt (from the store without sugar or additives) as a starter... is this illegal or okay? > > This is exactly the yogurt starter I first bought before making my first batch of yogurt. I then got home, googled what B.longum is and found out it is Bifidus which is illegal! I gave the box to my sister and eventually found the starter without any Bifidus. Same brand name, just no bifidus - and not every place sells it as I found out. >  Darlene > Intestinal Dysbiosis/CFS > SCD 8 weeks > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: BTVC-SCD > Sent: Sun, April 18, 2010 10:12:04 AM > Subject: Yogurt starter > >  > Hi Everyone, > I have been using Yogourmet yogourt starter that has L.bularicus, S.thermophilus, and L.acidophilus. I ran out of the starter and went to the store to buy some more. They didn't have any on the shelf and the guy went to the back to see if they had any. He came back with a box that looks a little different, so I looked at the ingredients. It has some more ingredients. It has L.casei, B.longum, L.bulgaricus, S.thermophilus, and L.acidophilus. On the cover of the box it advertises Casei, Bifidus, and Acidophilus. Is this new Yogourmet yogurt starter ok to use? > Otherwise, I will try a different store to see if I can find my original box. > > Thanks > Cheri > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi, I used Fage as starter. Very very very yum yogurt. And very rich, even undripped. Found making it in oven w lightbulb on worked beautifully. Put my yogourmet away. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi, I'm confused. This contains 3 packages, one ounce each? For $12 something? One ounce per batch? or is there more than the site says? Seems disproportionately pricier than using Dannon/Fage yogurt as a starter. Am I missing something?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Esther- You would add the yogurt at the same point you would add a freeze-dried starter. You would use a heaping spoonful. From the BTVC website: " Pour a little of the cooled milk into the yoghurt container and take a generous desert spoon of starter yoghurt or a sachet of starter powder. " If you wish to see the whole page of instructions, here is the link: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yog_pict_guide.h\ tm -Joanna > > If using Dannon or Fage as starter for yogurt in Yogourmet machine,at what point do you add starter?And wont that overfill machine? > Esther Sann > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
