It adds solids to the mix. I've never successfully started new yogurt from whey, only previous batches of yogurt. I know ricotta can be made from whey left over from cheese made with acid, but don't think it can be made from yogurt whey. Too bad for us! If you google 'whey' you can find people adding it to lots of things.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-91750715893558602232011-02-26T16:29:27.337-06:002011-02-26T16:29:27.337-06:00Yeah, what Kris said....

When you make your own, you don't mind if the consistency is a little different.<br /><br />If you strain yours, seems I remember someone saying they fed the yogurt whey to the chickens and they loved it! Also you can use the whey to start a new batch of yogurt, as there's plenty of culture in it. <br /><br />After you've made several batches, the consistency does seem to get thicker, I'm not sure if it's the culture getting better acquainted with the milk, or what.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-50799155063703597052011-02-26T15:46:04.091-06:002011-02-26T15:46:04.091-06:00I love rhubarb!

It adds nitrogen. I put the used filters into the pile too. Easy cleanup.

After mine is done setting up, I line a strainer with a coffee filter and spoon the yogurt into the filter and put the strainer (over a bowl) into the 'fridge overnight. Next morning a <i>lot</i> of the bitter whey has drained out and I'm left with a thicker, sweeter, "Greek yogurt" style. You can let it keep draining even longer and eventually you can end up with a stiffer cheese-like spread great for bagels.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-90400468041500595782011-02-26T12:26:34.657-06:002011-02-26T12:26:34.657-06:00Your yogurt looks devine.

I have done this for about 13 yrs now, as when I had my thyroid cancer, and did the radiated iodine treatment, it did some pretty bad things to my gut and tummy, and I make yogurt with the high potency bacteria. My health food store orders it for me and I keep it in the freezer and keeps for about a year or so. I like my yogurt thick and custard like. Wonderful with fruit or preserves.<br />Have a great and productive weekend.denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-22046450665863149902011-02-26T10:27:27.386-06:002011-02-26T10:27:27.386-06:00I love plain yogurt.
