Fil, good luck – and if your friends are being ‘fussy’ don’t let them taste how great it is as they obviously don’t deserve it!

So true about the difficulty in bragging about runny yogurt. I was so proud of my homemade batch so I served it to some friends and they wouldn’t even touch it. Will
try this asap. Thanks!

Oh well sorry not to convince you PapaGeek. But then again I don’t do science on this site!

There is no expiry date on my homemade yohurt so I guess I just go with my nose!

I don’t want to eat ‘off’ yogurt either. The yogurt I eat always smells fresh and yummy. BUT what I don’t mind is using a few spoons of slightly less fresh tasting yogurt to make some more. The resulting batch of yogurt tastes (and smells) like fresh creamy yogurt because that’s what it is. That’s what all yogurt is really – milk turning ‘sour’ its just that by putting a little off yogurt into the milk we get it to turn sour with all the yogurt making bacteria we enjoy. I hope that explains things a little better!

But if like you, I had any worries I just wouldn’t make any!

Sorry but I am not convinced.
You didn’t provide much explanation on the science behind it, especially that there are risks when consuming expired food.

I’d be glad to hear more on this. As it stands, I’d rather not get that perfect texture than eat expired yogurt. Ouch! my belly hurts just thinking about it.
