    I just recently made some cheese out of some buttermilk I cultured myself. I had a bunch of whay left over. I created a new sourdough starter using a small spoonful of 2 year old starter, flower, and whey. 24 hrs later and it has tripped in size. I thought the acidity would have killed the yeast, but to my surprise it turned out looking wonderful. I will make a loaf out of it today and report back.

    Leftover whey to freeze? It'll not happen here. We use it
    1. to drink as an elixir
    2. in smoothies
    3. to soak steel cut oats before cooking
    5. to marinate meat
    6. to cook sticky rice (whey + water)
    7. as a skin astringent.. especially face
    8. as a scalp treatment
    9. hair conditioner
    10. tub or foot soak
    10. baking
    We strain our kefir to make thick sour cream so we always have plenty of whey.

    When I make yoghurt, I like to drain it for thick Greek style.
    I often use powdered milk, and instead of mixing this with water, I use a mixture of water and the drained whey from the previous batch.
    Then, I don't need to add any yoghurt or starter culture.

    • @VicToria-sd1dn
      @VicToria-sd1dn 6 місяців тому +1

      Really? PLEASE tell me how to do this. My starter that I shipped in from outside the country was close to expiry on arrival. Couldn't finish using before the expiry. Wondering how to forge ahead now. I'm discouraged to go through the process of shipping in another starter. Please how do I use whey to make yoghurt with milk powder?

    • @rubygray7749
      @rubygray7749 6 місяців тому

      @@VicToria-sd1dn I don't know which country you are in, but it seems you have problems accessing cultures? Here in Australia, I just go to the supermarket desserts section, where they sell yogurt making flasks, and packets of ready mixed yogurt culture in powdered milk. There are several types, and I choose the Greek full cream style powder.
      Each packet is enough to make 1 litre (quart) of yogurt when mixed with water, then the container is set into the flask, and boiling water is added. The flask is tightly closed and left for some hours.
      It should be a lovely thick yogurt, but draining it in a cloth lined strainer will make it even thicker, and putting it in the fridge does too.
      I wanted to make yogurt more cheaply than this single serve, and to use my Jersey cow's milk. So I simmered the milk first to destroy competing bacteria, then let it cool to the required temperature. Instead of adding water to the whole packet to make 1 litre of yogurt, I added one dessertspoon of the powder to my litre of milk. Then I seal the packet and keep it in a tightly closed glass jar. It lasts for a year or so, even at room temperature.
      This means I start off with very much less culture. But the microbes double in number every 20 minutes. So in 4 hours they have increased by about 10,000 times. So it's just going to take a bit longer for the yogurt to thicken, doing it this way. And the temperature has to be kept constant for the extra time.
      When I no longer had a cow, I used milk powder mixed in boiling water then cooled, and continued as before. It worked very well.
      Then I tried using the whey that I had drained from the yogurt, as part of the liquid to make up the next batch of powdered milk, without adding any of the culture. This also worked perfectly, and I could keep doing this several times. I don't know how long I could have continued doing that, but I never had a failure. But since I was using so little of the powder culture anyway, that is how I usually make it.
      That single packet makes many litres of yogurt, probably enough to last the year out. And it only cost about $3 or $4.

    I make mesophilic yoghurt for my digestive issues; I separate the curds from the whey. I separate the whey into three categories
    1. A small bottle of whey to culture my next batch of yoghurt. It seems to be stronger than the yoghurt itself to culture next batch of yoghurt.
    2. A small bottle of whey. I add 1-2 teaspoons to my dogs kibble. Kibble is cooked at very high temperatures that kill any probiotics. Pets need probiotics too!
    3. Use whey as a fermentation starter to make fermented vegetables, natural sodas

    Have you tried making whey butter? There are references to it in Anglo-Saxon literature and it is still made by a handful of British dairy concerns. Whey can also be used to make ricotta and Norwegian brunost (brown cheese).
