We recommend using whole milk or failing that adding powdered milk (5 teaspoons) to the skimmed
or semi-skimmed milk.
Use another brand of yogurt.
The regeneration is no longer effective (5 times maximum).
Warning, vibrations, even very minute ones such as those from a refrigerator in operation, can prevent
yogurts from setting properly. Drafts and temperature changes can also have an impact on the setting
of yogurts.
Always make sure that there are no traces of dirt or dishwashing liquid in the yogurt jars.
Always cook fruit before adding it to the preparation because it is too acidic and kills the ferments,
hindering optimal setting. It is better to use preserves or jam.
Reduce the fermentation time for the next batch.
