Medium-Flavor Probiotic Yogurt (ABY-653) culture produces a probiotic yogurt with a mildly tart yogurt flavor and a medium body. This culture falls between Tart-Flavor Probiotic Yogurt (ABY-611) and Mild-Flavor Probiotic Yogurt (ABY-2C) in respect to flavor.
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 Medium ABY-653. This is because these cultures may not regrow to sufficient levels of benefit or at the correct ratios.
When utilizing freeze-dried yogurt cultures, it's observed that the most cost-effective approach is to make larger batches. Home yogurt-makers should engage in their own measurements, division, and experimentation for the best results.
