Yoghurt Project #3
Yoghurt as Starter
Milk Cooling in Cold Water Bath
No. 1 - commercial yoghurt as starter + sour cream.
Good result.
No. 2 - prior (No. 1) yoghurt as starter + powdered milk.
Not so good. Rather runny result, as well.
But drained it in cloth.
Suspect that 200ml starter was insufficient for 2ltr batch.
No. 3 - commercial yoghurt as starter.
Going with 375ml per 2ltr starter, which may be overkill.
UPDATE
Turned out crap. Separated, with loads of whey at bottom. Too much starter:
"Too little starter makes runny yoghurt, but too much ... makes things separate into whey and thick cheese." [source]
I'm so jacked off.

Drained off, the result is cottage cheese (sort of) or something like an Indian paneer:

Tastes nice. And it can be thrown into omelettes and whatever else.
If I want a cheese result next, I can follow the Indian method to do it on the stove top (with vinegar).
I'm so excited. Now I can make two dairy products. LOL
Watched a video on butter making, but I'm not sure that one is worth the bother.
Next projects:
- Yoghurt No. 4
- Arabic sugar wax paste
- massive chicken korma for freezing
Been watching waxing videos and wax recipe videos galore.
Aiming to make the Arabic wax paste.
