13. Round 1 was a failure.

Aug 2012

I followed the directions that came with the machine. It didn't have me heat the milk or anything. This was contrary to what I had read but thought I'd go with what that machine said. It thickened some but was still really runny. I will try again this weekend heating the milk, letting it cool to 110 and then adding the culture and putting in the machine.

Question: I have read recipes/suggestions on line that you either should or should not add dry milk (and both sides seem pretty emphatic about it). Any suggestions from people here?
