I love my Luvele! Should have gotten one years ago. I love being able to set a specific temp. and time. ❤
This makes us happy, thanks for sharing : ))
Love this product - the yogurt is fantastic
A comment and a coupla questions. First, I really like my Plus! Next, I took my Plus for a test run (to make sure it didn't overheat and destroy an heirloom culture), so I used a quart of pasteurized whole milk and 1½ tablespoons of commercial whole milk Greek yogurt ("live cultures" stated on label), no powdered milk added. I slowly heated the milk to 82º C (I'm making this easier for you!), stirring frequently (no aerating in the process) so a skin didn't form. I took it off the heat and continued stirring until it cooled to 38º, then added my culture. I set the Plus to 38º for 8 hours, then refrigerated the results. The yogurt was surprisingly (I don't, as a rule, buy supermarket milk) delicious, however, it was both a little "long" (kinda like viili) and a bit "dry ricotta-ish" on the bottom.
Any suggestions?
Hi there, Thanks for your message, I am glad to hear you are enjoying your Pure PLUS yogurt maker :)) Maybe what could have caused this is as you are eating your yogurt from the container you are taking away more whey as you reach the bottom, this can change the texture as you have mentioned. You can try stirring the yogurt as you get towards the bottom. To free up the texture.
Thank you ! Very helpful 😊Can you use some of the homemade yogurt as the starter for the next batch ?
Yes you can, but we have found this will only work a few times in a row.
What is the purpose of the different temps? How does that affect the final product?
Hi there, thanks for your question. here is a link to our blog post that explains this further; www.luvele.com/blogs/recipe-blog/scd-yogurt-fermentation-time-temperature?_pos=1&_sid=fae0ff27f&_ss=r
@@luvelelife thanks. The first batch came out fine. A bit mild. I drained it to make it thicker. Very fine!
I’d love to listen to this without the background music. I bought one of these after much deliberation; the yogurt is consistently very runny?
Thanks for your comment, please feel free to reach out to us at support@luvele.com and we can walk through some trouble-shooting with you : )
There’s captioning if the music gets in the way. He talks about a step which helps thicken the yogurt from 1:17 onwards. And again from the 5:50 mark.
Do you have to use the containers provided or can you use your own glass containers? (say we wanted to make individual portion sizes)? And is that true across Luvele models? Thank you!
Thanks for your question and sorry we did not reply sooner. Yes, you can use other containers if you can find ones to fit, we just cannot guarantee other containers you may have will fit.
What about Plant Based Yogurts?
Hi there, yes, we have lots of great plant base yogurt recipes like oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk and hemp milk, here is a link to our recipe blog so you can check them out; www.luvele.com/blogs/recipe-blog/tagged/yogurt-basics
Why do you need to add the milk powder?
Why water need to be added in the yoghurt maker?
Hi there, the water in the yogurt maker help to create a much more accurate and event temperature during the incubation. An accurate temperature helps to maximize the probiotics in your homemade yogurt. You do not have to add milk powder, however, it will help to create a thicker yogurt.
Thanks for the science! Good to know. It is good to know that it can stabilise the probiotic & greek yoghurt is always yummy.
Why do we have whey in yoghurt?
When its sour we know it has fermented but its salty; is this normal? It has a sweet smell.
How long can a yoghurt stay outside the fridge or in the yoghurt maker?
so if you need yogurt to make yogurt how did the first yogurt get made?
Haha, good question. Here is a link to another one of our recipes that uses a powdered starter. ruclips.net/video/Vqe8GALqw7Q/видео.html
Powdered starters include the yogurt bacteria strains that are required to ferment milk in to yogurt.
😅 What came first, the chicken or the egg?
These things leak, you can even see the droplets on the bottom left of the unit @4:57
Hi there, we have sold tens of thousands of our yogurt makers all around the world, and if a little water drips down the side from the condensation it is not a problem. We have designed the electronic inside to be very well protected. So this is not an issue. Thanks for your comment however.
I have the 4 smaller jars. What are the dials on the top for ??
Hi Liz, the dials can be used to set the date you make your yogurt, so you have a record of when you made it.
There are two lines inside the yogurt machine. One is taller than the other! I’m not sure if I should fill the bottom of yogurt maker to the shorter line or the taller line? I filled yo the shorter one! I hope that’s adequate water?? Please let me know!!
Hi there, you can fill it to the top line indicator : ))
@@luvelelife which top line indicator? There are two lines! Please help!
the directions say fill to the short line while its empty. Then when you place the bowls into the machine it will raise the water to the second taller line @@cgdesrochers
What purpose does addition of the milk powder serve?
Hi there, thanks for your question. Adding milk powered is optional, but it will help to make a thicker more creamy homemade yogurt.
@@luvelelife Thanks for the reply. Can any starter be used to make yoghurt? I was thinking of using heirloom powdered culture along with kefir.
@@MG-uz5mr Hi, yes, but it will need to be a specifically designed yogurt starter. A kefir starter will not work. Here is a link to starters we recommend. www.luvele.com.au/blogs/recipe-blog/yogurt-starter-cultures-recommened-for-scd-gaps?_pos=1&_sid=350c4598a&_ss=r
can you use half dairy milk and half coconut milk for a delicious yogurt
Hi there, that's a good question, we have not tried this. If you give it ago, we would love to hear about the results.
@@luvelelife i'm going to try it tomorrow. thought id ask so not to waste expensive ingredients. I will experiment.
Can you make nondairy yogurts with this machine?
Hi there, yes you sure can, here is a link to all of our yogurt recipes, we have many non-dairy ones available; www.luvele.com/blogs/recipe-blog/tagged/yogurt-basics
The water that is being poured into the yogurt maker is warm, cold or room temperature? Does it matter at all what temperature is water?
Hi there, room temperature water is fine : ))
Aww, you didn't show us the yoghurt after 8 hours in the fridge.
Hi there, do a search for 'Luvele Yogurt' on RUclips and you will see all of our other recipes, some of these do : ))
What is milk powder? Would that be what we call in the U.S. powdered milk? If so, does the fat content matter?
Hi, yes this is powdered milk :)) We would recommend full fat powdered milk to help create a thicker yogurt. If you are not worried about the thickness of your yogurt, then you can skip this ingredient all together.
Will adding the powdered milk not make the yoghurt lactose free? Is there an alternative ?
Hi there, sorry we do not really understand your question?
@@luvelelife In this RUclips video the guy is saying to use full cream milk powder but this will be a problem for people who are lactose intolerant
@@baldiepie9635ferment it at least 24 hours there's no lactose at that point
@@laf2602 thank you
Pouring kettle hot water does NOT sterilise it’s not hot enough, look it up. I learnt this after catching pneumonia and had to learn about sterilisation germs etc. Was a major eye opener. Nor does washing in hot setting in dishwasher sterilise. Has to be over 124c neither kettle dishwasher or washing machine wash this hot. You need to either use sterilise tablets I know I don’t like them either. Rubbing alcohol, boil in a saucepan for 10 minutes. Or bleach. So pouring hot water from kettle does not sterilise. Believe me after catching bacterial pneumonia I had to go down a germ rabbit hole...
Hi there, thanks for your comment and opinion. Firstly, for making yogurt, pouring boiling water over the container and lid is adequate from our experience. We have never had a contaminated batch following this tip. Alcohol will not work, as it will effect the good bacteria in the yogurt mix. Thanks again.
I think you're confusing "scald" (which is sufficient for culturing milk/fermenting) with "sterilize," which is literally overkill for this. People have been culturing milk for at least a thousand years and I guarantee you they weren't sterilizing the vessels they used.
Is kettle water not boiling hot where you are? Boiling water will sterilize most things.
In the fermentation process, good bacteria kills off any bad microbes in there provided that the good bacteria is the dominating culture.
Why do you Australians pronounce yoghurt likeThe Americans.
