After fermenting, the yogurt needs to be strained to get Greek style yogurt. Note that when I make a 2 gallon batch of yogurt I will drain off 3 to 4 quarts of whey.
Since last March I have used Noosa yogurt exclusively for my starter culture. I have reduced the maximum temperature from 180°...
I recently read the following on another forum.
"Are you seriously saying that you have stuck enough LME into a pot to just ferment the small amount of sugar remaining in the extract ? Those Extracts are made specifically to give flavour and are Intended to be fermented with additional sugar...
After cooking at 180° for one hour, I cool the milk to about 110° and add the starter. I then set the controller at 115° and ferment for about 12 hours.
The whey that I drain off the finished yogurt makes a pretty refreshing beverage when lightly carbonated. Seriously. I take it to work for...
I've tried several brands of yogurt as my starter. Dannon and Yoplait make a pretty decent yogurt. Lately, I've been using Noosa. I can't ever seem to find it unflavored so I use the honey flavored stuff. My wife and I really like the flavor and texture we get from the Noosa culture.

I found some "wild" hops last fall. I'd like to know what difference it makes if I dried them or not before putting them in the freezer.

Recapping over-carbed beer will work if you've prepared properly.
Get the bottles of beer as cold as you can without freezing them.
Pop the cap off a bottle while jostling it around as little as possible.
Put another cap on it immediately.
Getting the bottles damned near frozen is the...
There is nothing magical about an airlock. You don't NEED an airlock. You are fermenting in a carboy. Take a square piece of Saran wrap and fold it over a couple of times. Place it loosely over the top of your carboy and hold it in place with a rubber band.
If you stay with this hobby long...
I went to the local liquor store and bought several cases of returned bottles. I think I paid $1.25 a case for the bottles. I had to cull out some of the bottles because they were kind of rough looking. I took the culls back to the liquor store and traded them in for a $1.25 deposit.
I clean...
Stevehaun,
You tried.
cjgenever,
Making and using a double male extension cord is just recklessly dangerous no matter who you trust. I hope nobody follows your example.
