I wanted a yogurt maker for making non-dairy coconut yogurt. This one is a winner--- I like that it is not indiviual cups because after the yogurt is made I can add sweetness to the whole batch---- then I put all the yogurt in canning jars. No need to get a second storage container unless you are going to make two quarts continuously. I also like the water bath system-- even heat.

I have owned numerous yogurt makers over the years, and this one is by far the best. It makes up to two quarts of yogurt in about four hours. I make my yogurt with non-fat milk, and then strain it in the muslin bag that comes with the yogurt maker. This yields a delicious and creamy Greek-style yogurt for less than half the price you'd pay for it in the supermarket. I like being able to make yogurt in a single large container, rather than in individual serving containers. Overall, it's a great yogurt maker that produces consistent results every time.

I'm Loving this Yogurt Maker! Having no timer and a large batch container is perfect for making 24 hour SCD Yogurt. SCD is the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet". A diet for people with colon issues (and autism).

Here is a link to the book for this diet Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet I'm new to this diet (2.5 months) but very excited as it has helped me alot!

For years I couldn't tolerate milk products but now I'm eating 2 cups of Yogurt per day! I'm using yogurt to make homemade ranch dressing, dessert toppings, in baking etc.. I even ordered a second batch container to keep up!

YOGOURMET Too HOT?...NO PROBLEM...If it gets too hot to go 24 hrs, you have two easy options: After abt 6 hours when the center has reached 100 deg simply remove the outer lid for the remaining time. OR purchase a lamp cord with dimmer switch to regulate the power. Thermometers can be off so it's good to have a couple to see if they agree. I had one 15 deg off.

If you're on the SCDiet, ignore the Yogourmet instructions and follow the SCD recipe. If not on the SCD & you have no colon nor lactose issues then the Yogourmet instructions are fine.

SCD 24 HR YOGURT MAKING TIPS to help those on the SCDiet:

FLAVOR & TEXTURE: The richer the milk (more fat), the less tart and thicker the yogurt will be. Make sure your milk or cream has no additives such as carrageenan, gumS, dextrose, etc. I prefer Whole Cows Milk. Goat yogurt is more runny and tart but works well in homemade ranch dressing. Using cream makes for a rich thick yogurt that's good for whipped toppings etc..

FREEZE DRIED YOGURT STARTERS: SCD allowed starters may contain Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Streptococcus Thermophilus, and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. It must NOT contain Bifidus/Bifidum, gums, sugars, nor additives. Yogourmet's Freeze-dried Yogurt Starter is allowed BUT their Probiotic Starter with bifidus is NOT Allowed.

COMMERCIAL YOGURT STARTERS: one that's SCD allowed is Dannon Natural Plain regular fat yogurt. Use 1/4 c per quart of milk. Don't eat it, just use it as a starter, it still has lactose in it at this point. Don't buy the lowfat versions, they have pectin.

MAKING SCD YOGURT: it's best to sterilize all bowls & utensils

1) Follow the yogurt machine instructions for water fill & plug in.

2) Heat 1-2 quarts of milk over medium heat to 180 deg F. (I prefer a double boiler). This will kill unwanted bacteria. Stir often. Cows milk can tolerate higher temps but goat milk is delicate and should not be heated above 185 deg F.

3) Pour into glass bowl or jars and allow to cool to 77 deg F. (book says 77 but website says 108) lower temps provide less shock to the cultures I'm introducing. Stir before reading temp. Cover with a clean tea towel while it cools on the counter OR u can allow to sit 15 min then place in a cool water bath. Don't allow water to overflow into the jars.

4) Optional; For smoother yogurt, pour milk through a sieve to remove the film that forms on top. (So far I haven't had to do this).

5) If using freeze-dried Yogourmet starter, mix it with 1/4 cup of the cooled milk until dissolved. Add 1/2 c more milk & mix again. Pour back into the main container & mix again.

If using commercial yogurt starter (Dannon Natural Plain, 1/4 cup / quart of milk), mix it with 1 cup of the cooled milk then mix back into main container.

6) Place in Yogourmet & ferment at 100-110 deg for 24 hrs minimum & up to 30 hrs

7.) Gently place the container into the fridge and allow to cool abt 8 hrs.

8.) U can GENTLY stir the yogurt with a whisk to make it more smooth.

The Yogurt should keep 2-3 weeks if handled properly & kept in a cold fridge. Too much stirring can make it runny so I add my honey, vanilla & fruit just before I eat it rather than to the whole container.

STATED BENEFITS OF SCD 24 Hr Yogurt: -Repopulates the gut with good bacteria. -It's very nutritious. -Longer fermentation means the lactose is broken down into simpler forms & we will absorb instead of feeding the bad bacteria. -It's a low cost source of probiotics & has a concentration of 3 billion cfu/ml, 1 cup of Yogurt = 708 Billion beneficial bacteria. -24hr yogurt has a higher probiotic count than commercial yogurt because it is fermented longer. -The bacteria are fresh and in the environment they grew in. -Many people who are lactose intolerant are able to tolerate SCD 24 hr yogurt.
