Homemade Yogurt Making Part 1

[p1nkUn1c0rn]

Does raw milk have that sour tang to it?

[616MGT]

@p1nkUn1c0rn I just switched to raw milk and I find there is no taste difference.

[HerbSmoulder]

would the nutritional value be the same as the milk you used ?

[Mrspence1100]

you heat to 180 is because to pasteurize it

[492735]

The woman has an annoying giggle; the guy talks like a kindergarten teacher

[whitelighter31]

heating to 180degrees means killing the bacteria present in the milk (if any, just to make sure)

[kylometa72]

You should use a wooden or plastic spoon as to not transfer metal on metal spoon and pot, may take on a dull grey color in the end product..... but its not a huge deal (learned that in culinary school)

[musicqueen978]

that was a waste of my time, did not help at all!

[XxWhoopaxX]

i want the last name katz....

[annokiddos]

Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon gives roughly the same recipe, but it does have a variation for making raw milk yogurt. For raw milk yogurt it says that you should heat the milk in a double boiler to 110 degrees. So you don't pasturize the milk. Hope this helps :)

[sarahminty]

Can you do it without heating the milk? I have a yoghurt maker and the packet milk is added to water and not heated - just added to a thermos container with boiling water..

[swankrecords]

that is a rectal thermometer.

[kabwa34]

@swankrecords lol hahahahahhahahahaha are you serious ? Nice video though , keep it up I mean the ones who made the video.

[cbakerazle]

Really fun couple, seem so happy together. I enjoyed listening to their banter. She's very happy and he's very supportive. I am trying this today, but fear I've already messed it up. Oh, well, planning for the next attempt if this one fails.

[elwoodetubes]

Forgot to say that if you have a carton of mild from the supermarket (unopened) if will already have been sterilized and so I just warm it to room temp or slightly higher, add my starter and put in thermos for 12 hrs, thats it.

[elwoodetubes]

I do it differently

once I have heated the milk to 160f and let it cool to under 120 I then pour it into a Thermos flask and add the yogurt culture. I do this before going to bed and the next morning abt 10am its ready. the Thermos keeps it warm. Oh and I just use a table spoon of supermarket jogurt as a starter culture and then keep a table spoon of my homemade jogurt for the next time etc.

[12ock]

you know the thermometer that has mercury are quite dangerous please be adviced that is all

[MichaelnChristine]

We seem to have two groups commenting and I for one don't really like arguing. So lets just say this. The old fashioned way of pasteurizing which doesn't damage the milk terribly is to bring it up to 140F for 3 mins while scraping the bottom to avoid burning. Ultra pasteurizing milk brings it to 160F for 30 second and kills everything. The only reason it may matter and be worth it is if the heat denatures protein and causes it to get thicker.

[MichaelnChristine]

So you buy unpasteurized diary and then flash pasteurize it yourself? That's....odd.

[xTenshiko]

@MichaelnChristine I had the same thought at first, but one perspective is that you are preserving as much of the flavor as possible by doing this process on raw milk, as opposed to the ultra-pasteurized product we buy at our local grocery stores. There are a lot of benefits of the slower methods of pasteurization - but cost/benefit is not one of them, so it's not often you find it in stores.

[Loanaina]

Hello you. It's a great movie and I love to see that people are ready to prepare food at home.

I am checking yoghurts from the german supermarkets in order to see which one is the best. Maybe you are interested in my result. Come and check out and perhaps you have some good ideas that improve my survey ;)

Greetings Loanaina :-*

[dembidj]

This is a great video- part one and two. I have been following this instruction for months, and I love making my yogurt this way because there is no additional energy expended after the milk and equipment are heated. It is easy and a breeze to clean up after. Thank you so much for sharing!

[tnyardangel]

Thank you for sharing your time and talents.

[mandala126]

Can I use regular metal lids on my jars if I don't have plastic?

[dembidj]

I only have metal lids. They work fine.

[rotoclip]

read the untold story of milk by ron schmid,new edition,great video

[XerifeGuenu]

1. Boil the milk (sterilization)

2. Put the hot milk on the jars, just after boiling (jar sterilization)

3. Let it cool to lukewarm temperature (test with a clean finger), and add one tsp of yogurt for each jar.

4. Put the jars on the oven and turn it on until it reaches 75ºC-85ºC, then turn it off.

5. Wait until the next morning, and put them on the fridge.

[ZaphedBeebleBrox]

Stupid people. too complicated. I aint telling you the best method.

[Prawnlet]

good job. stop complaining ppl geeze people love complaining

[witnessforfitness]

Thanks for the tips! I love to put fruit and yogurt on my raisin bran. It's delicious!

[Zova]

A couple of points: You take the milk to 180 degrees to kill any unwanted bacteria BEFORE you cool it back down add the yogurt culture, which is the bacteria you want. Also, once you make it the first time, always keep back 1 Tablespoon per quart for starting your new batch. No need to buy starter ever again. Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it very much!

[4cryingoutloudagain]

How live will it be after you cook it!!!??? How the hell does that make sense?

[bookgirlforlife]

many enzymes and vitamins survive 180F. The point of yogurt making is for its specific bacteria and taste, if you eat a well balanced diet you will get your necessary vitamins don't worry

[samisazerahga]

i will make yagort and put my video on k thinks

[MasterTubing]

Great demonstration, very bad production.

The constant blabber of the guy filming it is extremely annoying and doesn't add to the video but instead makes one want to stop it half way through.

The woman doing the demonstration is enough, you don't need an additional commentator.

[LadyWeasel]

The point to the video is how to make yogurt, which they conveyed, just fine. Making rude comments about video quality and chatter is pointless. I enjoyed their chatter and learned how to make yogurt from their videos and have been doing it ever since. No fancy schmancy, expensive yogurt maker to deal with. A stainless steel pot, some mason jars and an insulator of some sort... How much simpler can you get?

Where are your high quality production videos to compare?

[AmberThinks]

I enjoyed the chatter as well

[russianextwasteland]

People are entitled you their opinion just like you are.

[LadyWeasel]

I tried this with a spoonful of plain, organic yogurt and about 6 hours in the cooler, wrapped in towels. Worked great, but, I think I may leave it in there longer, next time.

[andijab000]

can you use soymilk too?

[ItsJustMeIsMe]

dabbed some olive or coconut oil on your hair and tied them up.. you looks messy, anyway thanks for this video

[janetwrightreadings]

You guys are such a cute couple and I appreciate all the health tips. I am researching so that I can make yogurt from goat milk. I can't have much cow milk as it gives me respiratory/mucus problems. Your kids are super lucky!

[mjtracy]

These are great videos. You bring the milk to 180 degrees to sterilize, then bring it back down to 120 so you don't kill the culture. Thanks for posting.

[rkwyckoff]

Thank you so much for posting this! It's very helpful and precise. Can you use the same recipe with goat milk? Peace.
