What do you do with your left over whey?

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

My friend gave me a gallon of raw milk! I made farmers cheese and making butter from the cream 👏 I have whey so I’ll brine chicken with it and also use the buttermilk for baking!!! Thank you for this video! I just graduated culinary school and loved the farm to table section and hopefully I can score more whole milk soon!!! Thank you again for this great video!!!

[@janetbarkwith]

I use the whey from making adighe cheese to make my bread.

[@benking1813]

I watch videos that give me no actual information, other than putting it in waffles and then asked me the question that I came here to solve

[@janetbarkwith]

@@benking1813 Scroll down the comments - oodles of suggestions there!

[@ryanfaith]

I drink it. Pure protein

[@HG-dg3dv]

I used whey to make a starter for sourdough. Because it is a little bit acid, you see after a day a lot of lactic acid bacteria in the wheat flour.

[@galinarou]

what a great idea, I assume you add the whey to the sourdough starter instead of the water for the initial mix of dough?

[@thisispunya]

Doesn't it get molded?

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

I just recently made some cheese out of some buttermilk I cultured myself. I had a bunch of whay left over. I created a new sourdough starter using a small spoonful of 2 year old starter, flower, and whey. 24 hrs later and it has tripped in size. I thought the acidity would have killed the yeast, but to my surprise it turned out looking wonderful. I will make a loaf out of it today and report back.

[@smith899]

My dog LOVES the whey from my homemade yogurt! She loves the yogurt, too! I started giving it to her when she had to take a broad-spectrum antibiotic that was ripping her tummy up! It really helped!❤

[@AzaleaBee]

Leftover whey to freeze? It'll not happen here. We use it 1. to drink as an elixir 2. in smoothies 3. to soak steel cut oats before cooking 5. to marinate meat 6. to cook sticky rice (whey + water) 7. as a skin astringent.. especially face 8. as a scalp treatment 9. hair conditioner 10. tub or foot soak 10. baking We strain our kefir to make thick sour cream so we always have plenty of whey.

[@hummingbirdacres]

Same here but it is an option. :-)

[@irukambanefo7098]

Are all these applicable to acidic whey from cheese making? Thanks 🙏

[@pricklypear7516]

@@irukambanefo7098 Acid whey makes a terrific, tangy soup base. I make what I call Margarita Soup: any combination of soup veggies and whatever dribs and drabs I have coming in from my garden (green beans, okra, squash, etcetera. It's an especially good use for green tomato). Juice of one lime, rice, chicken (or not. The whey is packed with protein). I have also made a wonderful borscht with it. I'm going to experiment with sorrel (or spinach; sorrel is hard to come by in the US), fish, and capers. Just play around with it!

Oh wowwww! I never new this - I am definitely going to do more research on this - thank you Mmmmmwa 🌺

[@davidemoore]

I often use my Whey to marinate meats, especially game meat, and lamb. It reduces the gamey taste (for my kids) without losing the flavor of the game.

[@lucyjones2184]

@davidemoore Do you make a marinade or just pour whey over meat?

[@rubygray7749]

When I make yoghurt, I like to drain it for thick Greek style. I often use powdered milk, and instead of mixing this with water, I use a mixture of water and the drained whey from the previous batch. Then, I don't need to add any yoghurt or starter culture.

[@VicToria-sd1dn]

Really? PLEASE tell me how to do this. My starter that I shipped in from outside the country was close to expiry on arrival. Couldn't finish using before the expiry. Wondering how to forge ahead now. I'm discouraged to go through the process of shipping in another starter. Please how do I use whey to make yoghurt with milk powder?

[@rubygray7749]

@@VicToria-sd1dn I don't know which country you are in, but it seems you have problems accessing cultures? Here in Australia, I just go to the supermarket desserts section, where they sell yogurt making flasks, and packets of ready mixed yogurt culture in powdered milk. There are several types, and I choose the Greek full cream style powder. Each packet is enough to make 1 litre (quart) of yogurt when mixed with water, then the container is set into the flask, and boiling water is added. The flask is tightly closed and left for some hours. It should be a lovely thick yogurt, but draining it in a cloth lined strainer will make it even thicker, and putting it in the fridge does too. I wanted to make yogurt more cheaply than this single serve, and to use my Jersey cow's milk. So I simmered the milk first to destroy competing bacteria, then let it cool to the required temperature. Instead of adding water to the whole packet to make 1 litre of yogurt, I added one dessertspoon of the powder to my litre of milk. Then I seal the packet and keep it in a tightly closed glass jar. It lasts for a year or so, even at room temperature. This means I start off with very much less culture. But the microbes double in number every 20 minutes. So in 4 hours they have increased by about 10,000 times. So it's just going to take a bit longer for the yogurt to thicken, doing it this way. And the temperature has to be kept constant for the extra time. When I no longer had a cow, I used milk powder mixed in boiling water then cooled, and continued as before. It worked very well. Then I tried using the whey that I had drained from the yogurt, as part of the liquid to make up the next batch of powdered milk, without adding any of the culture. This also worked perfectly, and I could keep doing this several times. I don't know how long I could have continued doing that, but I never had a failure. But since I was using so little of the powder culture anyway, that is how I usually make it. That single packet makes many litres of yogurt, probably enough to last the year out. And it only cost about $3 or $4.

[@pineappletop8751]

Add some to your homemade mayonnaise to keep it longer

[@MatoNupai]

I make yoghurt cheese and I give the whey to my sister. She dilutes it 4-8 times the amount of water and blends. She LOVES THE WHEY

[@groveralaska]

Mailing lemonade is the perfect way to use whey.

[@joyfulhomemaker8053]

So helpful! Thank you! I’ve been afraid of using it while baking because I don’t want to change the flavor of what I’m making.

[@timothypropst238]

If you heat the whey, as in boiling pasta, doesn’t that destroy enzymes and other nutrients?

[@aadamstory]

Interesting

[@hardminder]

The whey has already been boiled when making yogourt/cheese....

[@Publiclighthouse]

@@hardminder - if you have homemade yogurt/cheese, you haven’t “boiled” your whey. You would have initially killed your starter culture/bacteria if that were so.

[@toneenorman2135]

@@hardminder I just made cream cheese from yogurt. There’s a lot of whey left,and,it was not heated to make the cheese,so,I’m assuming the probiotics are intact….

[@escapetherace1943]

@@hardminder dude the yogurt is cultured AFTER it is boiled and the whey is separated after that. Meaning that whey has tons of live cultures in it, more than the yogurt does itself by volume.... so yes eating it non heated is good for you but there are other uses.

Whey to go.

Do we need to keep the whey water under sunlight?

[@patriciaendris925]

[@bojens865]

Use whey to start your next batch of yogurt, instead of saving yogurt for this. You'll use 100% of the yogurt, and use the whey you probably would have tossed.

[@senorahahn5651]

Have you done it? Does it work?

If you feel it was safe enough for curds and you've kept in fridge since, surely the whey ought to be good too? There are loads of videos here on yt with advice plus often the shares in the comments give help. Good luck.

I make mesophilic yoghurt for my digestive issues; I separate the curds from the whey. I separate the whey into three categories 1. A small bottle of whey to culture my next batch of yoghurt. It seems to be stronger than the yoghurt itself to culture next batch of yoghurt. 2. A small bottle of whey. I add 1-2 teaspoons to my dogs kibble. Kibble is cooked at very high temperatures that kill any probiotics. Pets need probiotics too! 3. Use whey as a fermentation starter to make fermented vegetables, natural sodas 4 any excessive whey is given to a friend as free plant fertilizer
