It's amazing how different the body feels with live food - though I do pastuerize for my own safety. I tried using the milk today for yoghurt and I am so far pleased. My method was to use a crock pot set on low. I experimented with the lid placement until I got the right temp. I put a jar in the water and prepped the milk. Once it was cool enough I stirred in a starter and here we are 5 hours later and I have a nice thick yoghurt. Yummy! Next I will use that batch as starter.

Analeise, I will be cranking it up and make curd etc. Just give me a few weeks. Connor, it sort of feels like somebody switched the milk for yoghurt but amazing how simple and effective it is. We've made more since and had some firmer than others but all work. Penny,, Yes, I want to do butter too. There are quite a few artisans started to do butter.look forward to seeing your results. Thermomixer, I never really thought about Thermomixer Yoghurt. LL is quite keen on the idea for the summer when the Aga is so FG%$#!!! hot. Yes, I consulted McGee. We decided to keep it simple and just gofor the yoghurt.I like mine not too solid. Duncan,good to hear from you,It's been a while. I just consulted the latest edition of Harold McGee who's got all the science. I'm moving to a flat soon so I may have to look for one of those machines. Snacksgiving, hope it works out for you. Foo, Great point. There's so much packaging isn't there although the Milk also comes in a container. Maybe I need a goat. Maz, that's a great idea and will save me buying a special machine when I move to my new flat. Gourmet Chick, You won’t be jealous about anAga when it hits 40 again!

Landfill is reduced by reusing your own jar and avoiding those six packs of yoghurt tubs which are often not recyclable.

An interesting thing is that the lactglobulin is likely to be left in the whey from making cheese with rennet, so I have made some cottage cheese with junket tablets in the hope that the whey will have extra lactoglobulin to add to my yoghurt mix to thicken it. He explains the difference between using acids and rennet for making cottage cheese and that's why I bought junket tablets.
