Review: Best Yogurt Starter You Can Buy! 😍 - Having visited Bulgaria many times I already knew of the benefits of eating top quality yogurt so I was delighted when I came across Genesis Bulgarian starter culture. Now on my fifth batch I can confirm this makes fantastic yogurt! This pack contains 10 capsules [individual portions] that you open and add to 2 litres of pasteurised milk when it has reached the correct temperature. It's really easy to make and once you've made one batch it's easy to make the next by using 2 tablespoons of your yogurt per litre of milk. Or if you've eaten all of your yogurt [easy to do] just use another capsule. The health benefits of Bulgarian yogurt is celebrated worldwide and the healthy bacteria so much more beneficial than the vast majority of probiotics we buy in capsule form plus it's delicious to eat, on it's own, with fruit or in raita, added to a smoothie, the options are endless and at a fraction of the price. Best of all I can now make Ayran at home which is the most thirst quenching, nutritious and delicious hangover cure ever! Mix 1/3 glass of yogurt, 1/3 water, 1/3 ice and 1/3 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt. Of course you don't have to just drink it when you've got a hangover, Bulgarians drink it in huge quantities all day. It is a slightly acquired taste but by my third drink I was hooked so I am over the moon that I can now make this at home. Can't recommend this product enough, buy it and you will never buy shop bought, additive and sugar filled yogurt again!

Did everything as instructed but it didn't work. What to do?** A: Hello Dear Brooklyn College,Thank you for your question, I would also like to thank all the customers for their accurate answers. One capsule is for min 1 liter and max 2 liters. There is two very important steps of preparation of yogurt:First step: When you pour the starter culture, you must stir it very well for a 2-3 minutes using electric mixer or egg beater.Second step: It is very important to keep a constant temperature which is different for every kind of culture. Every culture is very sensitive from temperature change through the incubation time. Bulgarian Tradition Yogurt is thermophilic and need constant temperature 42-45°C. degree, but no more 50°C degrees C, because the starter culture may die. You must use a yogurt maker or thermos. In case you use yoghurt maker follow the applied instruction. Unfortunately some kind of yogurt makers may overheat even most thermophilic (growing best in a warm environment) starter cultures.The quality of the final product depends on the fresh milk used as a source. If the result does not meet your expectation - use another brand of milk.To ensure a good quality of your homemade yogurt, the milk you use must be free from preservatives, antibiotics and other additives. Do not use milk which contains milk powder or vegetable fats. Use only organic milk. Our recommendation - to obtain a stable quality and safe product is best to use ultra-pasteurized milk in aseptic packaging which meets the requirements of industrial sterility.NB. The incubation time must be 8-10 hours, but if does not work/ if the yogurt is still liquid/ please follow the next steps: pour the milk again and leave it for more 4-6 hours.
