Extra Mild-Flavor Probiotic Yogurt (2651) culture yields a probiotic yogurt characterized by an exceptionally mild flavor and a thick, short body. This culture is considered "extra" mild because it will continue to hold the mild flavor attributes longer than our Mild-Flavor Probiotic Yogurt (ABY-2C). It also contains a different body strain that will provide a thick texture without the ropiness than can occur with other cultures.
For optimal results, incubate at temperatures between 106°F and 110°F. In pasteurized cow milk, this culture sets in approximately 7-8 hours. Set times may be slightly longer when using unpasteurized and/or goat milk. Due to the presence of body culture and probiotic cultures, it's not advisable to reculture the Extra Mild 2651. This is because these cultures may not regrow to sufficient levels of benefit or at the correct ratios.
When utilizing freeze-dried yogurt cultures, the most cost-effective approach is to make larger batches. For best results, experiment with fermentation times, batch sizes and culture amounts to dial into the perfect recipe for you.
