Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 It's about 30 hours, but you can still use it in recipes. It may not be as potent of a probiotic, but still safe for cooking, ice cream... I've done this too. > > I forget when the absolute cuttoff is for leaving your yogurt too long?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for the info! At least I can use it to hold me over until the next batch is finished. Phew! -Joanna > >> > >> I forget when the absolute cuttoff is for leaving your yogurt too long? I forgot to put it in the fridge last night so it's been 34 hours.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Think about how bacteria replicate in yogurt- by splitting in two. So a bacterial culture will double at intervals ( don't know how often). They consume lactose in the process. Around 24 hours at the designated temperature ( around 100 degrees) they will replicate enough times to consume all the lactose. This is when SCD yogurt becomes legal. We also need enough live bacteria to replenish our guts. If the temperature is too low, then replication slows down and all the lactose is not consumed. If it is too high, some of the bacteria will die. Now if the yogurt is fermented too long, the bacteria will start to die off from lack of lactose- there will simply be too many of them because as they replicate, the population doubles. Once the yogurt is put in the fridge after 24 hours, replication continues but at a much slower rate, so they survive longer in the fridge. From what I recall, this happens after about 30 hours. Now remember, there is some variability in all this, and they don't all die off at once. In general, 34 hour yogurt may have lost some potency as some of the bacteria may have died off, but it is probably still OK. You may want to use a legal probiotic supplement if using yogurt that has been fermented longer than 30 hours? PJ > > But Mara is 24-48 hours okay because it's just cream? I remember always used to say that over 30 hours and you don't know what is growing in there anymore. She is the one that taught Marilyn so I wonder on that one. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks Marilyn! My problem is that I am in the routine of making it in the evening which means that it is usually 10 or 11pm when I am groggy and going to bed the next night, and somehow have to remember to put it in the fridge... Ugh. -Joanna > >I remember always used to say that over 30 > >hours and you don't know what is growing in > >there anymore. She is the one that taught > >Marilyn so I wonder on that one.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Set a timer after dinner? I got a timer that's on a cord so I can wear it (which my sister thinks is hysterically funny, but it's very useful). You could just reset it when it runs out so the last one is for 10PM or whenever you want to tuck the yogurt in the frig. I do this sometimes if I have a roasted chicken or turkey cooling for awhile and I don't want to forget and go to bed. Thanks Marilyn!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've done this too- fallen asleep and sometimes I wake up thinking oh nooooo the yogurt!! I've also had the plug fall out and other goofs. Most of the time things work, so I just have to get over it, but it is upsetting.
