    • @priapulida
      @priapulida Před rokem +13

      @@noneyabidness7226 if it's too tart it's probably about timing and it's been warm too long. try different times or temperature. put it in the fridge as soon as it's not liquid anymore (tilt slightly and see if it's set)
      if there's whey (a sign that it's been too long) you can remove that to get rid of some sourness. and add flavors only right before consumption is best I think.

    • @Ender240sxS13
      @Ender240sxS13 Před rokem +9

      @@noneyabidness7226 Pria Pulida is right, the tartness is due to the build up of the lactic acid, the longer you let it ferment (at a fixed temp) the sourer it will get. Warmer temps will also make the fermentation go faster, it takes a bit of experimentation to get it just the way you like it, and of course without a good way to control the temperature it will come down to knowing when to cool it down based on the consistency rather than time.

    • @huskytail
      @huskytail Před rokem

      Actually very few of the store-bought yoghurts have the lactobacillicus bulgaricus. So any "yoghurt" you'd make is just some fermented milk and not yoghurt.

    7:10 Mechnikov was not just "satisfied" with yoghurt. In his 1911 book "Молочные микробы и польза, приносимая ими здоровью : (Ягуртъ)" he described his experience of treating paratyphoid with yoghurt along many other inspiring examples of yoghurt's benefits.

    O yogurt fair, with creamy curd divine,
    Thou art a treat, a gift from nature’s hand.
    Thy cultured essence, flavors that entwine,
    Doth grace the palate, like a minstrel band.
    From humble milk, thou tak’st thy humble birth,
    Transformed by time and patient alchemy.
    Thy lactic artistry brings joy and mirth,
    In pots of clay, a taste of symphony.
    Thine ivory hues, a canvas pure and plain,
    Are adorned with fruits, both vibrant and sweet.
    Each spoonful savored, pleasure I attain,
    As senses dance, thy tangy notes compete.
    So let us raise a cup, with heartfelt cheer,
    To yogurt’s charm, a taste that brings us near.
