Should you want to prepare this with homemade soy milk (by blending beans with water and straining them), don't discard the pulp! Soy bean pulp (okara in Japanese) is a perfect base for vegan burgers and many more recipes. Have been making our own tofu (made from soy milk) and the okara is a fantastic byproduct!

Only thing is, you now have an empty 1i soya milk carton and a 400ml yoghurt carton, whereas if you had bought a similar quantity of soya yoghurt you would have had two of those cartons instead.

You can (and should!) use the yogurt you made. I made my first batch with a dry culture I bought online (plain soy yogurt is hard to find in the US) and have been using the previous yogurt to make the next one for about a year... and still going! I think it actually gets better as it adapts to your environment. I do use a yogurt maker instead of letting it sit out but otherwise same method, no boiling and all that jazz like for bovine breast milk.

@evileyelash80945 жыл бұрын
As long as you store it in a sterile container with a fitted lid in the coldest part of your fridge, it should last you at least 5 days or longer (depending on the coldness and cleanliness of your fridge). The way you know it's gone bad is when you see mold, otherwise it should be fine.
@karlint392 жыл бұрын
Very VERY easy to follow. Thanks! Three general questions about making yogurt. 1) For soy yogurt, is it important to sterilize the container and utensils? Is it important or not really? 2) Some yogurts I've made explode if I close the lid completely. I have to leave it open a bit to let presumably CO2 gas out. In this video it looks like you didn't leave the lid open. No problems? 3) 15C seems like a really low temperature for making yogurt! My yogurt maker's default setting is 42C for 8 hours, and when I make kefir, I leave it at room temperature (perhaps 20C at this time of year?) for 2 days. Do you specifically recommend NOT using a yogurt maker and high temperature, or is your point that it works at any temperature? 4) (There are always 4 books in a trilogy) Have you ever tried straining this and making it into "Greek soy yogurt"? I've been making yogurt and kefir with milk, but I'd like to get away from using dairy, so this will be great, and I'm glad to see it is so easy. Because I have specific strains of bacteria that I want to use, I'll start with a small amount of "regular dairy" yogurt, but the dairy content will become basically zero after the second batch. Thanks again for the video!

@@ThuLe-eh1xe I think the use of the suggested amount of yogurt in the video is good and the bacteria should multiply as it sits.

They also mentioned to let it sit longer if it doesn’t taste acidic enough and you mentioned that your yogurt didn’t taste acidic enough after sitting for just 20 hours. Why not try letting it sit for longer and see if it develops a more tangy taste? If you want to buy probiotics, I really don’t know which are best, but you might ask the seller if the types they sell work with plant-based ingredients. There are special yogurt starter mixes specifically formulated for use with plant-based milks. Good luck 😊

I love the idea of home made soy yogurt from an environmental stance, but the thing I'm concerned about is that it's not fortified. The soy yogurt from the store has added calcium and B12, and while I supplement B12 anyway so that's not really a problem, I'm mostly worried about the calcium. Is there a way to make the yogurt calcium fortified? :) (Yes, I know you can get calcium from other foods like tofu, leafy greens and such, but let's be real - those are small amounts and I like the easy of being on the safe side because I get a head start of 30% at breakfast) OK, wait. I just realized that if you make it from fortified soy milk, the yogurt will be fortified too 😂. But my question remains for those of us making soy milk from scratch too! Also, is it possible to make it from other types of plant based milk too, like oat? Or would that not work?

I incubate my soymilk in jars in the oven (switched off) in a warm water bath of 108-110 F with the oven lightbulb on & after 12-15 hours it tastes like soygurt & is refrigerated. I just do not feel safe leaving it out for 2 days. I use a half cup starter yogurt per liter soymilk. Maybe it helps to use more starter...or sometimes some brands of store-bought yogurt do not have enough live cultures.
