Finished Yogurt and Taste
We recommend checking consistency of yogurt during the
fermentation process to avoid over-culturing. Begin checking yogurt
on the earlier side of the recommended time range.
Yogurt should have some body and be slightly firm when fully
fermented.
Always stir yogurt before serving.
Yogurt starts to over-culture when whey begins to separate. Yogurt is
over-cultured when curds and whey have completely separated.
More time can always be added to under-cultured yogurt, even if it
has been through the cooling cycle. However, once over-cultured,
yogurt is no longer edible.
Longer fermentation times will produce a tangier yogurt, but also aid
in thickening.
Strain yogurt overnight using a strainer lined with a coffee filter, for
an ultra-rich and thick treat.
Do not consume any yogurt that smells, looks or tastes displeasing.
We recommend using whole milk for making yogurt, and avoiding
ultra-pasteurized milk. Fuller-fat milks produce thicker yogurts.
When adding a flavor to yogurt, we recommend waiting until 6 hours
after the cooling process has begun. Flavors can also be added to
individual portions as needed instead of to the entire batch.
Certain flavors may shorten the shelf life of yogurt. Fruit mix-in
flavors last longer and are better added to the entire batch, while
sweeter syrups are best added to individual portions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why is the consistency of my yogurt so thin?
A: To thicken the consistency of your yogurt you can heat the milk
first on a stove or add a thickening agent like dry milk or gelatin.
See the Tips and Hints section for more information.

A: Culture was damaged.
Q: Why did my yogurt curdle?
A: Yogurt has been over-fermented. Reduce fermentation time and
begin checking yogurt on the earlier side of the recommended
time range.
A: Culture was damaged.
