@djstatikdnb Draining the yogurt is not part of the process of making the yogurt. Draining it means you want to remove the liquid from the yogurt to make thicker to use it like a cream cheese substitute.
After the 24hr fermentation I opened the lid for 5 seconds (I was curious, it was my first time doing goat yogurt). Did I destroy my yogurt? Won't it get firm in the fridge now?
@EugeniaLoli I think it should be ok, but in my personal experience with goat yogurt, it came out weird and runny :( I tried the freeze dried Yogourmet pack with the goat milk. I think the problem was that the bacteria wasn't compatible with the goat milk. When I tried again with cow milk, it was fine.
@fernpixel Thank you for the reply. Indeed it came out runny... I will retry though, apparently we need to evaporate 1/3 of the goat milk by cooking it at 180F for at least 10 minutes. From what I read, only then it sets.

Hi hi! Have you considered intellectus diet (google intellectus424dietcom)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy lost crazy amounts of weight with it.
@Almondx3 You'll need the starter. Without it, you will probably just get rotten milk. The yogurt maker is really just a heater and the milk will be hanging out there for 24 hours without refrigeration. The starter is the "thing" that turns it into yogurt. If you can't find commercial starter, you can buy the Yogourmet-starter packs online. Best of luck :)
I recently tried making yogurt with a yogurt machine (maker?) with those yogurt starters in powder form, but it failed completely. According to the instructions I had to mix the yogurt starter with cold milk and put this mix in the yogurt machine. After 6-8 hours it should have become yogurt but it was still milk!
Does anyone know what I did wrong? Next time I'm going to make yogurt with yogurt as a starter instead of those frozen powder starters. I really don't understand why it failed.
Why on earth would you go to all of this trouble to make something healthy, and start by microwaving the milk? Microwaves are not good! I make my yoghurt in one pot, and I keep it in the oven with the oven light on, or wrapped in tea towels on a heating pad for 24 hours. It's much easier. I also don't care about the skin that forms on top of the milk. It's not really noticeable in the yogurt.
I add all of the milk at once - is the condensation a problem because of the gas range?
@monroe444 for the record, I never used the microwave to do this. I always do this on the stove - that was a comment left by someone who wants to find a silly shortcut. I think the condensation might be because of the gas range. I don't mind taking the extra time pouring it slowly. Its a long process anyway.
Thanks, but if you stirred every few minutes the way you do on the stove and checked to be sure the temp reaches 180 why not? Whether or not microwave heating destroys more nutrients than heating on a stove continues to be debateable. It wouldn't take as long and it certainly wouldn't burn which is the big problem.
@jojo55887 I dunno... I just don't like cooking with the microwave. Its not the same. If you've ever compared cooking eggs in the microwave and cooking them on a real stove, the eggs are gross and rubbery when microwaved but are delicious and fluffy when cooked on a stove. I feel like the yogurt would get gross and rubbery too :P
Ive tried to make yogurt a few times now and it always turns out lumpy with alot of yellow water. Is this normal when making 24 hour yogurt or am i doing something wrong?
@lorettam79 Thanks for pointing it out. I'm pretty sure that the one I was using didn't have pectin. I made this video a long time ago though. I'm aware of the pectin being illegal and I check my labels. I don't know if pectin was added now because I noticed that recently there's pectin in the yogurts with the new Dannon packaging. I put added an annotation on this video with a warning about pectin.
I actually had to switch back to powdered starter recently because of Pectin.
I got my yoghurt maker from lucys online kitchen shop. I made mine with 1litre( ordinary milk from supermarket) and 1 litre cream to make it thicker and it came out perfect 1st time trying. I used half cream instead of just milk so i could get the extra calories which i need. I also blend the yoghurt with 1 ripe banana and a tblsp of honey and its lovely as a high calorie smoothie. Anyone else tried this ?
You can actually save a lot of time doing this if you created a double boiler. You're less likely to burn the milk that way and you can put ALL the milk at once too.
I was wondering if you can make yogurt from coconut water/milk. I can't find a legal recipe anywhere! If you know how to do this, could you please post a video about it? Dairy products tend to give me asthma. Thanks fernpixel! I love all your videos : )
:) Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy 'em! Aw... sorry to hear about the asthma thing. I don't think its possible to make yogurt from coconuts. I don't think the starter would work correctly. Maybe if you eat the yogurt in small amounts? Its not quite the same, but you can make coconut gelatin as a dessert :)
I wouldn't add a honey or vanilla during the yogurt process. You'd be feeding the bacteria and it might cause and imbalance. Its safer to add the sweetener after the yogurt making process.
over time the lids got really loose and I'm only able to hold it on the base or else the whole tub will fall on the floor and everything will spill out. It doesn't seem to effect my yogurt though. They sell glass containers at a website called lucyskitchenshop with a screw on lid that fits in the Yogourmet yogurt maker.
You are great! You have the best videos i have seen so far since i started the scd diet. Please make more videos on different recipes.

@fernpixel how long do you keep the yogurt at 180 degrees? and is it safer to keep it at 180 degrees longer so u make everything is killed off?

Can you warm the milk in the microwave??
jojo55887 1 year ago
@jojo55887 I don't think so. The microwave wouldn't make the milk reach its boiling point correctly and it would be hard to regulate the temperature.

The starter yogurt you are using is illegal if it contains pectin. The dannon all natural plain yogurt is fine, but not the non-fat version.

I don't have anything to hold 2 liters of milk in a double boiler. That's why I do it that way.
I guess whatever method works best for you ;)

You might want to try goat's milk instead; it's apparently better tolerated. I know it works for me as well if not better than cow's milk.

Try Nancy's Fully Cultured yogurt as a starter.
I bought a great yogurt maker with glass jars, but still haven't made the time to use it. College is a very demanding girlfriend.
