Introduction
As we stress yogurt making results vary, we encourage you to experiment with
different cultures and fermenting times to create yogurt that suits your taste.
We recommend heating and cooling the milk as a tip for thicker and more
consistent yogurt. Note that if using a culture that includes milk powder in the list
of ingredients, this step is not necessary or recommended.
Heat milk on the stove to 180°F (82°C) [some cultures recommend only heating
to 160°F (71°C), so follow the instructions per the particular culture]. For best
results (but not essential), keep milk at this temperature for about 20 minutes.
Cool milk until a thermometer reads 110°F (43°C). Once cooled to 110°F (43°C),
stir culture and any other thickening agents into the milk well so that it is fully
incorporated. Transfer mixture to the yogurt maker and set the appropriate
fermentation time.
If following this heat and cooling step (when adding the base to the unit at 110°F
(43°C) subtract an hour or two from the fermentation time.
Note that if using a culture that includes milk powder in the list of ingredients,
this step is not necessary or recommended.
Please refer to the Tips and Hints section of this instruction booklet for more
information.
