Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Keep your starter in the frig. You can use raw milk to make yogurt. wWhen you heat it to the required temp, you kill off any harmful bacteria. Meleah yogurt starter.... Our yogurt starter came in today. Can someone please tell me if it's suppose to be kept in the fridge or the freezer? I know it needs to be kept cold. Since K has the croup and is congested, I will wait until it passes to start the goat yogurt again. Also, can you use fresh goat milk to make your yogurt? I always thought it would be best but, now I'm wondering if the bacteria would be a bad thing for making yogurt. I am heating the milk to 185*.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 It depends on which starter you ordered. I use Yogourmet... and it says on the box to keep it in the fridge. I don't know about the GI Progurt. You can make yogurt starting with fresh, raw goat milk.... in fact, that is ideal. You will ALWAYS heat your milk up enough to kill any bacteria that might possibly be there. You want to aim for 180 degrees F..... and to hold it there for 2 minutes before starting to cool (that's what I do anyway).... and with goat milk, make sure it goes no higher than 185, so you won't damage delicate proteins.
