Yogurt Making Hints & Tips
Prepare delicious, natural homemade yogurt!
» Your homemade yogurt is truly unique! The avor and consistency
will always depend on the culture used, the fruit or other ingredients
added and the type of yogurt you choose to make. Yogurt consistency
ranges from thin and pourable to thick and creamy, all depending on
the ingredients and cultures you choose and the length of time you
cook the yogurt. So, how can you shape the results you want? Check
out our easy hints and tips that follow:
» Yogurt needs an active “starter” or “culture” to ferment properly as it
cooks. You can use either a purchased culture or purchased yogurt
that contains live, active bacteria. The culture used determines the
end result and avor so you may have to experiment a bit to nd the
avor you like best.
» Fermenting times vary, depending on the culture you use. Some
cultures can be used only once and take about 8-12 hours to ferment.
Others, which are typically reusable, take up to 16 hours when rst
used and, when used again, take only 6-8 hours.
13
» When using store-bought yogurt as your culture, the average
fermentation time is 6 hours. Check your recipe for accuracy.
» When it comes to texture, everyone has dierent preferences. If you
prefer a thin, pourable yogurt, you do not need to heat the milk rst
(although it must be pasteurized whole or skim milk).
» If you want a thick consistency, we recommend heating the milk rst
to 180°F (unless your culture recommends a lower temperature).
This allows the protein to break down in the milk, resulting in a
thickening during fermentation.
» If you choose to heat the milk, hold the temperature to 180°F (or
lower if your culture recommends) for about 20 minutes. Cool the
milk until it reaches 110°F.
» You can now add the culture to the milk without destroying the
culture. Whisk well to incorporate.
» Thickening the yogurt rst will reduce the hours needed to ferment.
Check your recipe for best results.
» Other thickening agents can help produce the consistency desired.
Do not add more than one to your yogurt mixture:
Dry milk powder – add ¼ - ½ cup dry milk powder to 3-4 cups milk.
Cornstarch – 1½ - 2 tablespoons to 3-4 cups milk.
Tapioca starch – add 1½ - 2 tablespoons to 3-4 cups milk.
If you don’t prefer the whey that collects on the top of your yogurt
after fermenting, pour it o and use it in other recipes.
