Yogurt Making Hints & TipsPrepare delicious, natural homemade yogurt!
» Your homemade yogurt is truly unique! The flavor 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 flavor so you may have to experiment a bit to find the flavor 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 first 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 different preferences. If you prefer a thin, pourable yogurt, you do not need to heat the milk first (although it must be pasteurized whole or skim milk).
» If you want a thick consistency, we recommend heating the milk first 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 first 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 ½ cup dry milk powder to 4 cups milk.
Cornstarch – 2 tablespoons to 4 cups milk.
Tapioca starch – 2 tablespoons to 4 cups milk.
If you don’t prefer the whey that collects on the top of your yogurt after fermenting, pour it off and use it in other recipes.
