You present it clearly!<br /><br />Just a clarification: is the 1 tablespoon starter to 1 cup milk ratio expandable? I would imagine larger batches could be made at once, right? i can't eat/use just 1 cup at a time! :-)<br /><br />be well - <br />jessjess mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447179652114552029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-89473057700577278322009-07-10T09:47:20.276-05:002009-07-10T09:47:20.276-05:00Hi Farmer Jim.

I don't need any equipment other than a couple of jars and some free space on my fridge or counter.<br /><br />I know many people have been making raw yogurt longer than I--I'm a newbie! However, I've gotten good information from various sources and feel comfortable with the process of making raw milk yogurt by heating just a little of the milk for the starter.<br /><br />Can you imagine I used to get my raw milk from my farm share and I'd scald a whole gallon to make yogurt... Yikes! It was delicious, but I lost all of the benefits of having the raw milk!<br /><br />The way I do it now is much better--easy and delicious and raw.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and commenting!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-9493463535964179282009-07-10T00:38:07.633-05:002009-07-10T00:38:07.633-05:00We have been making raw milk yogurt for quite a fe...We have been making raw milk yogurt for quite a few years now. Because you scald your raw milk, it essentially becomes pasteurized - not a good thing, in my mind! We heat our raw milk up to about 108 degrees, and then add a little of the previous batch to it. We also use a yogurt maker called the yogotherm, which is essentially a thermos type container, which makes one-half gallon at a time! Thanks for your blog - it is very creative and informative.Farmer Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-74469229087644031312009-07-06T14:29:51.473-05:002009-07-06T14:29:51.473-05:00Hurray!Hurray!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-12559800786277516282009-07-06T14:14:44.128-05:002009-07-06T14:14:44.128-05:00Wow, this is great!
