I held it at 180 for a few min, but it was starting to boil up. I didn't hold it a 110 though. I let it cool to that temp, then added the culture. I think I need to try holding it at temp next time. Do you normally use a crockpot or keep it in the over at that temp?So I believe that if you hold it at 180 (?) deg for a little bit longer (10min or so?) it stiffens up a bit more... Then did you hold it at 110 for 7-8+ hours?
I'm not quite sure exactly what you did, so not sure what I can tell you to do differently...
This also did not go well... I need to work on the seasoning for schwarma.
. The wife also makes several of her bread recipes and they are all really good. I don't because for what ever reason when I make bread we pretty much just wind up with a rock. Apparently you need a real technique to make bread that I clearly don't have.This is great, but one can't go wrong with bacon. I have messed up oatmeal and completed this with success good recipeSo you're like........ 0/2? Try this recipe:

That is much better than the one I have been trying. This weekend's attempt has the taste and consistency of cottage cheese, but I didn't use any vinegar to initiate curding. I'm going to go ahead and toss this batch too.Hey Joker, the wife found this yogurt recipe on teh interwebz and its the only one we've ever used. I always make the vanilla version because plain yogurt is
hippie.
you dont have to convince me!It's called the time value of money, and compounding interest.
Organic/non-hormone fed cow products are expensive. I"d rather have that money in savings if I can make it with a little bit of effort. Plus, this is really easy to make!
That was the impetus for us. Because were very picky about what we eat our food bills were riding the express elevator to the roof. Our project this year is turning the whole back yard into a veg garden and the building the chicken coop. My project this weekend, if its not totally derailed by my sick daughter, is building compost bins for said projects.It's called the time value of money, and compounding interest.

When we were looking at renting houses in the East Bay (real houses vs. apartments), space for a garden and compost bin were high on our list. A few of the home owners were very excited by our thoughts on building out such a process. A few were hesitant, so they fell off our list. It just happened to be unfortunate that the nice places we liked were bordering ishtty neighborhoods or too far away from public transit.
Did you have a tough time catching the chicken? What about Choking him? I find that last step to be pretty easy.
You can also use Lemon Juice to initiate the curding.
1. No chicken wringing
euphemism alert?
I was having leak though issues... I'm think I"m going to have to find a thicker cheesecloth.
Not possible. We all know the FSM is just a bumper sticker.I think God is telling you to just buy yogurt.
This last round turned out well. A bit thin, but not bad. I had to run it through the cheese clothe, but lost ~ 1 cup of yogurt in that process. I bot two more cheese cloths today and will run it through an extra thickness to preserve the yogurt and lose the whey.
