Posted: 12/7/2022 10:38:38 AM Back to Top   How do I know if my yogurt turned out well? I just made it for the first time and followed your video, it looks curdy. Is that ok? Should I just separate the whey and then mix it? I wish I could send you a pic...  Tags:

Posted: 12/9/2022 9:05:06 PM Back to Top   Bob Niland - your comment "If it otherwise passes the checklist, the curds are fine for consumption" was interesting. What checklist are you referring to? I’m not sure if I should be eating my less tasty tangy, curdy yogurt. Thank you Tags:

Posted: 12/10/2022 4:59:51 AM Back to Top   If you want a thicker yoghurt go with with a 45% fat or so cream, there will be minimal whey and you will have a very creamy and delicious end product. Tags:

Posted: 4/15/2023 1:46:21 AM Back to Top   HeartHawk, thank you for this very useful video.  I have a question about the water bath. Is the water cold from the tap, or do you heat it prior to putting it in the basin, and if so, at what temperature? Pitou Tags:

Posted: 7/26/2023 4:27:24 PM Back to Top   Is there a recipe for making yogurt from Sugar Shift tablets somewhere?  I have yet to find it.  If not, how many capsules does one put in the slurry, and then what is the time and temp for fermentation?  Thank you! Tags:

Posted: 4/11/2024 8:17:24 AM Back to Top   It depends on which version of sugar shift you are using.   The capsule needs inulin.  I believe their new powdered version,  in a jar,  doesn’t need it (but I haven’t purchased that to read the instructions).   Tags:

Posted: 7/29/2024 6:15:55 AM Back to Top   I just made my first batch of SIBO yogurt with organic half and half. I fermented it for 36 hours at 106 degrees. It was thick on top and liquid on the bottom. I stirred it and now I have a very runny yogurt! What do I do now?  Tags:

Posted: 12/5/2024 5:02:32 PM Back to Top   I didn’t see an answer to Dana and Mike’s coconut milk question. I have read everything I can regarding this type of yogurt. The books says gar gum but the website suggested gelatin. Which is better and how much gelatin if that is preferred.  Tags:
