Plain yoghurt

… is a sour milk-type product obtained from UHT-milk with a fat content of 1,5 – 3,5% and the influence of bacteria. The milk is inoculated with yoghurt cultures or fresh plain yoghurt. At an average temperature of 42°C, the lactic acid bacteria multiply. Once enough  lactic acid is produced, protein is precipitated and the milk thickens.

There are clockwise and anti-clockwise lactic acid bacteria. Clockwise lactic acid bacteria play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism as the body make better use of it. If you had digestive problems after eating some yoghurt, then maybe too much anti-clockwise lactic acid was the cause, as they are broken down more slowly.

The consistency of the yoghurt is dependent on the fat content of the milk used. At a fat content of 3,5% the yoghurt gets a little firmer, with 1,5% softer. Any other milk should be heated up to 80 – 90°C and cooled down to 40°C. Do not refrigerate yoghurt for more than 10 days.

Preparation

You can use both UHT milk and pasteurized fresh milk. For off-farm milk (milk dispenser / milk refueling station), the milk must be boiled first and cooled to at least 35 ° C

Stir one cup of yoghurt (125gr) into 0,5 – 1,0 litre of milk and fill into the yoghurt glasses. Thin fill up the glasses with milk up to 1cm below the edge of the glass. Stir well each glass with a spoon and close with the lid. Then, place the glasses in the device and start the yoghurt program.

Mature Time:
The milk mixture should be left in the appliance for at least 8h. The longer the yoghurt matures, the tastier it becomes. The colder the mixture, the longer the timer has to be set. Use a spoon to check the consistency and, if necessary, increase the timer. Do not move the device during the mature time, otherwise the yoghurt might not thicken.
One cup of the finished Yoghurt can be used as the starter culture, but not more than approx. 20 times, as the effect is not so good any more. Keep the ready yoghurt always in the refrigerator. Ingredients such as sugar, fruits or flavours can be added later to the plain yoghurt
