Making Yogurt, Cheese, and Kefir

The versatility of the Browin 801013 allows for various preparations:

• Yogurt (Natural, Greek, Vegan): Typically requires temperatures between 38°C and 45°C, with fermentation times ranging from 6 to 12 hours, depending on the starter culture and desired consistency. For Greek yogurt, use the strainer after initial fermentation to separate whey.
• Kefir: Generally ferments at lower temperatures, around 20°C to 25°C, for 12 to 24 hours.
• bedtage Cheese: Specific recipes will guide temperature and time, often involving rennet and longer, lower temperature settings. The strainer is essential for separating curds from whey.

Tip for Consistent Temperature: To ensure a more even temperature distribution, especially for longer fermentation times or specific cultures like L. Reuteri, add a small amount of water (e.g., 1-2 cm) to the bottom of the heating unit before placing the inner container inside. This creates a water bath effect, helping to stabilize the temperature around the inner container.
