Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi, I made a batch of yogurt that tastes sour - I think the goat milk must have been going bad even though I used it before the expiration date. Is there any harm in eating the yogurt if I can hide the sour taste in another food? Will it still have the benefit of the good bacteria? I don't want to waste it.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Most yogurt does taste sour. I assume you mean this particular batch tastes more sour than what you usually make? Sometimes it can be a difference in the breed of goats that were the source of the milk in the first place. For example, if you're using Meyenberg milk, they use all kinds of different breeds... and mix it together. At different times of the year, their milk may taste completely different from other times. If you followed all the instructions to the letter... it *should* still be fine to eat. The good bacteria should still be present and vital. It helps to drip the yogurt... Line a colander with a tea towell, pour in the yogurt and let it drain over a bowl in the fridge for a few hours. Some of the " sourness " goes away with that liquid... which you should just discard.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Patti. Yes, I mean that it tastes more sour than usual. I will try dripping it. Thanks for the suggestion. I just made another batch of yogurt, and this time it seems runnier than usual. The other batches had a thicker skin on the top. Not sure why - I followed the instructions the same way each time.
