It use to be so economical making yogurt with powdered milk. I use to get a huge No Name bag from No Frills for about $16. I recently bought the same product from Independent in Perth and it was almost $30!!! Do you recall how much you paid?
Great video, thanks. Looks great. You might not run into this issue, but for anyone who does: When you use commercial yogurt as your starter, you can definitely reuse that new yogurt to start more batches, but sometimes the original mix of cultures gets way out of balance - so much so that you can even run into issues getting the yogurt to set at all. It has been an issue for me in the past! You can look for heritage yogurt starter strains online that don’t face this same issue, but I usually just buy my favourite yogurt to refresh the bacterial colonies every once in a while.
Thanks. I wondered if the balance might become weaker or something. I would just start with another supermarket yogurt as a starter. Ease of access. L.ruteri yogurt is interesting, but I'm not that far advanced yet.
@@ButtercupAndFernHomesteadYeah it’s fun to stretch it as far as you can, but I usually start to notice differences after 5 batches for sure. And in case you have extras lying around, I always strain my yogurt through clean tea towels (I wash them without scents/fabric softener) - they do a great job!
Thanks. I love knowing the recipe is 2 ingredients instead of 12. Whole foods are becoming more and more important to me. But dangit.. I still love Doritos
Hi Mark. Yes, the instant pot raises the temperature, then I quick cooled it. I use the whey for my daily smoothies, but it's good for baking too. The dog gets a tiny bit and the chickens get a tiny bit, but I use most of it myself. Dogs and chickens don't have digestive enzymes for dairy so when I do give it to them it's very little.
Best instructions out of twenty other videos!!! Thank you much!!
Oh, that is so kind of you to say. I hope it's helpful for you.
Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks for watching 💕

No, I bought it before Christmas at Mike Dean's.

Yes, unscented laundry. What I used is like a tea towel. Maybe a flour sack towel. It's very thin.
Awesome!😊

Hi Karen. Fun video. Can I assume you raised the temp to 180F plus to pasteurize the milk? Do you save the whey for anything? Thanks for sharing
