Title: can anyone recommend a yoghurt recipe / maker / starter?
Post by: smudger on August 09, 2013, 11:04:04 am
I'm looking to make a rich / creamy type yoghurt - possible to do it without adding powdered milk?  I will be using raw goats milk which I will sterilise by heating.


Also a good way / or decent maker to make a large amount of yoghurt - most seem quite small ie 1 litre. (I am planning to make yoghurt ice cream as well as eat it direct so would like to make it using 4-5 litres milk at a time).  Fias farm talks about using a dehydrator to keep the milk warm ([size=78%]http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/yogurt.htm (http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/yogurt.htm)[/size]) but having never heard of  a dehydrator never mind seen one its not clear that the shelves can be removed to add a container of cultured milk.  I don't have an airing cupboard either.
