To flavor your kefir use honey or maple syrup, you can also enjoy homemade kefir mixed in a smoothie with fresh fruits. It's better to add these ingredients at serving time, adding them before the kefir incubation process would not provide satisfactory results. Yogourmet Homemade Yogurt or Kefir with Almond, Coco or Rice Beverages. The tests that Yogourmet ran several years ago have demonstrated that it is not possible to make yogurt and kefir with almond, coco or rice beverages. It is possible, though, to make yogurt and kefir with certain soy beverages. Why Heat the Milk Before Adding Yogourmet Starter? The milk has to be previously heated up to 82°C/180°F in order to be repasteurized, making sure to destroy unwanted bacteria that could prevent yogurt or kefir from setting or that could grow beside the good bacteria contained in the yogurt or kefir starter. What is the Best Way for Preserving Yogourmet Starters? It is highly recommended to keep the different Yogourmet starters refrigerated or frozen in order to maintain a high bacterial concentration. When kept refrigerated, the different Yogourmet starters keep their freshness an additional year, passed the expiry date and more when kept frozen. When kept at a temperature of 25°C/77°F beyond a few weeks, the different Yogourmet starters could lose some of their bacterial concentration and then require a longer incubation period. Are Yogourmet Products Kosher Certified? The Yogourmet freeze-dried kefir and yogurt starters intended for the general public are not yet Kosher certified. They will be at the beginning of 2016 and will be under the supervision of MK (Montreal Kosher) and/or OU (Orthodox Union). Only certain bulk products for commercial/industrial use are currently Kosher certified. Can Greek yogurt be Made with Yogourmet Products? Of course. Greek yogurt is originally a regular yogurt from which the whey (yellowish liquid) was drained out in a cheesecloth. It also seems that Greek yogurt can be made with a combination of milk and cream or with cream only. For fastest results, instead of straining the yogurt you can also add 1 cup of milk powder (250 g.) and 1 pouch of gelatin (7 g.) for 2 litres of milk before the yogurt incubation. The result will sensitively be the same. Yogourmet have also made yogurt with their original yogurt starter, milk and/or cream: Half milk (2%) and Half Coffee Cream (10%) has worked. Coffee Cream (10%) has worked. Table Cream (15%) has worked (remained liquid after the incubation process - was set when refrigerated). Country Style Cream (35%) has not worked. What are the Strains and Yeasts Found in the Yogourmet Kefir Starter? The major strains found in kefir are S. Lactis, S. diacetylactis, S. cremoris, L. casei, L. acidophilus and lactic acid strains of yeasts. On top of that, there are maybe 10 or 20 other bacterial species which are present in the kefir grains that Yogourmet use to prepare the starter but it is difficult for anybody to isolate and identify these specific species of bacteria.
