The SCD method has you culture for 24 hrs instead of the recommended 4.

How does it turn out? Thick or thin? I am trying to find a probiotic that contains only bacteria and not fillers, and then I will see if I will be able to handle the yogurt.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 a, It is easy to make the yogurt. We love our homemade SCD yogurt. Our cow milk yogurt comes out nice and thick and the goat milk yogurt comes out a little more runny but we use it more like a drink for our boys. I wish I knew of a starter that did not have a strep strain. Do you have the directions on how to make the 24 hour yogurt? You can find them at www.pecanbread.com Dana a Vivona wrote: > >> >> I make my own yogurt with a $15 Salton yogurt maker from Amazon.
