hello everyone, I have been making L. Reuteri now for over three months with great success. To ensure the greatest chance of success, I heat my milk and cream to 92°C and then let it cool before adding the probiotic. I am in Italy so I am using Celsius and measurements in liters. My original formula was for 3 L of final yogurt, which would be 2 L of whole milk and 1 L of full cream. I would add 2 tablespoons of inulin and two capsules of the.L.Reuteri (Oxyceutics MyReuteri 10 billion)
I recently purchased an industrial sized yogurt maker, which can make up to 12 L at a time I haven’t gotten that adventurous, but I am making 6 L batches at the moment and I have been putting 4 tablespoons of inulin and five capsules of MyReuteri.
As my yogurt is coming out great and I am also adding multiple spoonfuls of the yogurt as a starter into each new batch. My question is are the capsules necessary anymore I’m here in Italy and I have a limited supply and I will soon run out of them and my question is how many capsules do you think are necessary for a new batch when using my starter yogurt?
At this point would any capsules be necessary? Would my starter yogurt be enough or do you suggest that some capsules would still be necessary and what would be the minimum amount per liter of new yogurt?
I appreciate any suggestions thank you!!
