    Why aren’t you using an under cover pillow so u don’t have all that water standing on your cover? A Leslie’s winterizing kit will give you a blue (but cloudy) pool when you uncover it as well. No expensive chemical treatments or days of work to be swim ready. We literally take off the cover, backwash and rinse sand filter, run pump 8hrs and can swim the next day.

    • @theruralcompanion2779
      @theruralcompanion2779 6 місяців тому

      I typically use what I have on hand, which is often times more yogurt than fresh milk. Yogurt does add additional probiotics and would help with the breaking down process of the flour.The benefits of using a fermented dairy would be killed during the baking process, so it's really based on preference. It's possible the yogurt adds a subtle taste difference, but we've only tried the recipe once or twice with milk. It may be worth playing around with!
