Yoghurt maker Brand 4001

Good day! Mistakes when making yoghurt and how to fix them.
1. The yoghurt is liquid.
- the yoghurt is not ready, increase the cooking time,
- poor quality sourdough.
2. The yoghurt is curdled.
- the yoghurt has stood, the cooking time should be reduced.
- the milk was not fresh (not high quality)
3. Whey or sour yoghurt is flaking.
- the yoghurt has stood, the cooking time should be reduced
- poor quality sourdough.

Denis, hello! I also recently purchased such a yogurt maker. Appearance, functionality, especially cups - above all praise. While waiting for dry starter cultures, I tried to make yogurt using a finished product without additives. Sterilized cups, boiled and cooled to 36 grams. milk (regular), added sourdough and sent the entire batch to the machine.
The yoghurt took 5 hours to cook and tasted good. But I was confused by the consistency - small grains, especially from the bottom, with a small amount of whey. The glasses are hot underneath. Not warm, but hot, like the bottom itself. I put an ordinary thermometer on the bottom - the temperature is over 50. The temperature should be that high?
I tried it with other milk and sourdough, the result is the same - a slightly curdled product, not overcooked, but, it seems to me, overheated from below. Or should it be?

Please share your experience!

Hello, Aksilime... Congratulations on your purchase! The yogurt maker is super !!!

Since you cooked from a finished product, the fermentation time is reduced in comparison with dry starters. Curdiness and the presence of serum are clearly overexposed. Yes, 5 hours is a lot, 3-3.5 hours would be enough.

In general, cook better with dry starter cultures, do not experiment with purchased finished products.

More. Measure the temperature inside the glass, at the bottom it should be higher, this is not an indicator.

Thank you for the advice) This is the first yogurt maker in the house, I chose and waited a long time for her)) That is why I am so puzzled and meticulous - I carry around like a chicken and an egg. I'll put on a new batch tomorrow, I'll try to keep less. Although it seemed to me that 5 hours is quite a bit - the instructions indicate 8. Dry starter cultures will arrive later, in a couple of weeks only. And the soul asks for a holiday immediately, and the children, as they saw, do not give rest, they demand tasty

That is, if you try the bottom of the container with your hand, it should be hot?

[Aksilime]

Aksilime, You read the topic, you haven't written so much that it would be scary even to start 100, for example, to re-read pages
8 hours - just for a dry sourdough product. The manufacturer is competent in this matter. But if you really want to .... do it under control, check after 3 hours, if it is not thick enough, then leave it to cook for another half hour. And remember: ALL additives are added to the FINAL product.
What else? The recommended temperature for yogurt is 36-42 degrees, according to my measurements in this yogurt maker inside the glass, that is, the temperature of the yogurt itself is 39-40 grams. How should it feel? Hot of course

I read the whole topic practically - I did not finish the last 3 pages) From the finished product and advised to put on 5 hours. I did so without a twinge of conscience. I know about additives, I don't add anything to the starter itself.
I'll try to cook it again tomorrow and get it out early.

Good day! Chances are you've overexposed the yogurt. You write that you cooled the milk to 36C - this is a very high temperature for a long cooking time, 5-6 hours. For this time, yogurt is put if the milk is from the refrigerator, or has room temperature. In your case, the yogurt may have stagnated due to the high temperature of the milk. You can also do this, but you need to set the time for 3 - 3.5 hours. As for the measured temperature at the bottom (above 50C), we did not have anything like this during the tests. The fact is that the yoghurt maker is gaining temperature smoothly, and not immediately 40C. Did you measure the temperature after 5 hours of cooking?

Good day!
No, I decided to see how the contents of the cups felt after about 3-3.5 hours, at the same time I measured the temperature at the bottom, because the "test" cup was very hot at the bottom. The cups were placed directly in the yogurt maker (without a bowl).
I will try to cook as advised by you and Aygul by the fasting above, and along the way measure the temperature. Thanks for the recommendations!

[Aksilime]

The cups were placed directly in the yogurt maker (without a bowl).

Aksilime , we put cups / jars in the bowl that comes with the yogurt maker.

I measured the temperature with and without a bowl. There is no difference (the only thing is that it heats up a little slower, but not critical). This can be seen in my tests. I only use the bowl for ease of maintenance.

on the topic. In thought - to wait for a new one, or to take this one.

[Mistletoe]

Mistletoe, I really like this yogurt maker. The only drawback is that you won't fit more than 2L with four 0.5L cans. True, I have not yet tried using 0.7l jars The new yoghurt maker will be of a larger volume, but what its qualities will be, we still do not know at all whether it will also keep the temperature like this ...

but what its qualities will be, we still do not know at all, whether it will also keep the temperature, like this ...

Otozh. I'm also more inclined to this ...

Otozh. I'm also more inclined to this ...

More recently, someone was going to wait for a new one!

so fickle all ..

Hello everyone, join the ranks! I also bought myself such a yoghurt maker, so I'm sitting studying ... tomorrow I will have homemade milk and sourdough ... I can't wait for it already ... I hope for your help ...

[Yulia]

Yulia, congratulations on a pleasant and useful purchase

Here's a new beauty - Brand 4002

I went to the link, looked - and my masya is better! That is very big, for a large family, where everyone eats sour milk. The functionality is still unknown.

Yes, I also like this yogurt maker. And that ... is very beautiful, and the functionality ... well, we need to test it, and then we will see. It would suit me for a summer residence (we have sour milk constantly in use there), if it is as good as this one.
By the way, not quite in the subject, but ... The brand is also announcing juicers. I posted here and here

[Mannyash]

Well, Mannyash, you and eat sour milk - as many as 12 jars of 250 ml!
Juicers are good! but I have BRAUN - so far I have not found an alternative to it.

Just right After all, you can also make curd from kefir or yogurt, then you can make Bread, bake it, add to the salad, make kefir / yoghurt cupcakes

This is yes!

[Lenusya]

I forget to put everything ... I fermented yogurt on Evitalia in four 0.5 liter cans for 11 hours.

I have shown earlier how I fermented similar yogurt in original glasses for 11 hours.
So, in banks 11 hours is too much. In three of 4 jars on one side (the one that was towards the center of the yogurt maker), vertical detachment occurred (not very large, but still)


I explain this by the fact that in the center, the bottom of the yogurt maker is open, and warm air rose unhindered and stagnated in the center between the banks.
By the way, if anyone needs it, then links to all my tests Lenusya posted on the first page. Lenochka, Thank you so much

[Denis, Vadim, Elena]

Denis, Vadim, Elena, I had a very big upset when receiving 4 of your yogurt makers!

the delivery was PEK in a rigid package. (For my part, I took care of the integrity by ordering ZhU). 2 transparent covers are broken - one has a crack, the other part has broken off, but there are no fragments in the box. 1 plastic white lid split. and almost all cups are flawed - large and small chips, some with cracks, on many such small chips, "burrs", which does not allow them to be used for their intended purpose.
During the check - visual and tactile - I ran my finger along the rim, and even made 3 scratches to the bottom of the jars. This should NOT be used!

Please tell me what to do about it. 4 good families were left without Your your yogurt makers for the holiday! And I so praised ...

I am ready to send you all of them for checking / replacement!

PS. The yoghurt makers were packed in a branded box with Brand trademarks. There are 4 of them. fit

Good day! If you suspect a manufacturing defect, then you can send the cups to us for examination. In case of confirmation of marriage, the company will replace them for you. If the cups are damaged during transportation or household use, this is not a warranty case. In this case, new cups can be ordered.

[Denis]

Denis, I am very, very upset by what happened up to the rise in pressure and the complete absence of a festive mood Send all 28 glasses? Maybe it's better to send all the yogurt makers at once? I have your big cardboard box here, everything is in it. Then send everything.

Now, I'll gather my thoughts, take a pill, take a picture and post photos (oh, and this is a dreary business)

Aygul, what a pity that it happened with you!

My yogurt maker practically does not stand idle - now yogurt, then acidophilus or tonicity for cottage cheese.

Here on homemade yogurt, sour cream and cottage cheese I made with my own small changes Stella's cheesecake





Hell, however, in a small 3-liter binatosha - I'm really, really looking forward to a small multicooker from Branda!

My yogurt maker practically does not stand idle - now yogurt, then acidophilus or tonicity for cottage cheese.

And I didn't make yogurt this week, so today I realized that I missed him terribly ...

Already 2 liters of Narine are worth, fermenting!

Lyusichka, where did you put 2 liters in? To the yogurt maker?

[Olga]

Olga, so I started to ferment 2 liters in a yogurt maker in 4x 0.5 liter cans

And from above? What covered? A lid from a yogurt maker?

Lyusichka, where did you put 2 liters in? To the yogurt maker?

I'm simple, in a bowl of a yogurt maker. I had no time to play with the jars today!

And from above? What covered? A lid from a yogurt maker?

Well, yes, as usual with a transparent lid

[Lucy with Manya]

Lucy with Manya - !

I still can't try 0.7l jars. I don't know if they will fit in or not

[Denis, Vadim, Elena]

[Lucy with Manya]

Girls, are you celebrating already?
Then you have dances

Lucy with Manya - !

then love ...

Join us! !

Join us! !

: rose: I'm running !!! 🔗 🔗 🔗

Something after the holiday, no one returned to the topic. Girls, where are you? Of course, celebrating in company is good, but what about yogurt?
I was waiting for a new large model of yogurt maker. And somehow, while preparing yogurt in a slow cooker, I thought, why do I need a big one, because this will be enough for me, I'd rather cook and eat fresh yogurt more often. Immediately I placed an order in Ozone, now I'm waiting for the yogurt maker and airfryer to be brought to me.

Well, okay, 7 glasses are enough for me. Get yours, get good starter cultures - and you will have quality fermented milk products every day!

Maybe someone will come in handy: today in Globus (Korolev) - but the prices on the network, probably, should not be different - I saw this yogurt maker for 900 rubles with something, knowing how much it should cost, I drew attention .. suspicious, but nevertheless ..
but in general in Globus the prices for Brand are the same as in the cheapest online stores ..

A little over a month ago, I bought this yogurt maker for 900 rubles at Globus in Shchelkovo. Works properly

Today, I also bought Brand 4001 in Globus, while I just unpacked and immediately looked for reviews, I make yoghurts and sour cream in a slow cooker, but there only 4-5 cans fit, so I could not resist. Take to your company.
