CHR Hansen YF-L811 is a Danish Thermophilic Yogurt Culture that will produce a yoghurt with a very high body, very mild flavour and  very low post acidification. The culture is ideal for manufacturing the following types of very mild yoghurt.  Suitable for cutset, stirred and drinking yogurt.

Composition: Defined mixed strain culture containing Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobaciluus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus blended in a convenient freeze-dried form to produce yoghurt.

Ingredients required:

• 2 Liters Fresh Full Cream Milk
• ¼ teaspoon yogurt culture YF-L811  (http://www.cheeselab.co.za/collections/cultures/products/yogurt-culture-yf-l811)
• 150 ml dry milk powder (Optional , but does help make yogurt thicker)

Firstly sanitize all the equipment you'll be using. (http://www.cheeselab.co.za/collections/ingredients/products/iodophor)

Pour the milk (combine with milk powder if using) in a pot and slowly heat to 84 degrees Celsius and then let it cool down slowly to 46 degrees Celsius.

Ensure you keep your thermometer your sanitizer solution to prevent possible contamination when taking temperature readings..

Once your  milk has cooled down to 46 degrees you can gently whisk in about a quarter of a teaspoon of yogurt culture (about 1ml) and then cover the container.

The temperature has to be maintained at 46 degrees for at least 6 hours , so a hot-box or wonderbag is a wonderful accessory to have for this purpose , but you could alternatively wrap the container in a blanket.
