"This may defeat the point for you, but I also heat my milk to about 145, but I stir in some powdered milk as well as the culture, and it thickens the yogurt to a consistency my children enjoy more.

Donna Byron replied to Laetitia Grandval Won's discussion 'Anyone tried low-temp yogurt?'"I cracked open a new jar of yogurt this morning for breakfast and thought I'd try to snap a pic of the texture. This was heated to about 150. Can you tell from the photo how much body it has? Totally stands up on its own. Not soft at all. But…"

Donna Byron replied to Laetitia Grandval Won's discussion 'Anyone tried low-temp yogurt?'"I also use raw milk, so I've experimented with finding the right temp. My yogurt is slightly less firm using a lower temp, but I found a happy medium that I like if I heat it to something around 145 - 150."

Heaven forbid any raw milk should get off the farm. I think we had a guy up here (Ontario) who formed a cooperative to supply raw milk to…"
