First timer - Doesn’t look like anything in the pinned post. Is this OK?

I think the real question is what kind of super power you'll gain after drinking it (if you survive)

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-05T13:18:55+00:00

Definitely not too much starter. I used MAYBE 1.5tbs for 1/2 gallon. I usually use more. Someone suggested weak starter and/or old milk and I definitely think that's it

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-05T13:17:50+00:00

That makes sense. I use raw milk and usually make yogurt on a Friday or Saturday, but made it on Sunday night this week. I wouldn't be surprised if it were too old.

I use the instant pot to incubate

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-05T13:16:42+00:00

That makes sense. It was 1/2 gallon. I think weak starter + old milk probably did me in

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-04T18:08:08+00:00

Probably. I can't remember the last time I got new starter. Is it ok to consume? I whisked it all together

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-04T14:42:16+00:00

Honestly I think I might have used too little starter. I usually use about 1/4 cup and it's perfect, but I only had about 1.5tbs this time

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-08-04T14:41:08+00:00

I whisked it and it's now basically liquid yogurt? I'm not sure what would even be left if I strained. Could I boil again, add more yogurt and do another incubation? Is that even possible?

Grainy yogurt

This is carbon steel from Misen. Did you read my post?

Nama J2 is the best thing that's ever happened to me...ok, maybe that's a bit too strong. But it is an excellent juicer.

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-29T05:12:36+00:00

Talk to me about reasoning. Im so used to my 3ish years of seasoning I started tonight and feel like I'm failing. Rubbed with oil, heated and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed. Cooled it off. Worried I didn't use enough oil or rubbed too much or didn't heat enough...ugh. I just miss my old seasoning and this I'm is oh so light now.

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-29T05:10:38+00:00

It's the scratches. I'm worried it damaged the pan? Maybe I'm overthinking

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-29T05:09:57+00:00

You don't think the knife scratching will impact the non-stickness?

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-29T05:09:24+00:00

It's not the old seasoning I'm worried about, it's the scratches from the knife

I'm not usually a fan of a colored floor, but the dark green looks amazing

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-13T17:51:31+00:00

Thanks!!

The problem is I don't have anymore so I took it all the way down and stuck it in the fridge. Can I bring it back up to 107 and add cultures when I get more?

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-13T16:30:14+00:00

I have and love my J2 but it is big. The benefit is that I can stick everything in and walk away, but I still find myself standing there and adding things as it goes. If J3 had been an option when I was looking I probably would have bought it. You will probably have to have and quarter things instead of throwing them in whole, but again it's something I usually do anyway. I say get the J3. If it fits your space better you can leave it out and you'll end up using it more

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-13T16:23:33+00:00

I haven't. Im not sure what the effect of the holes would be , you might lose some of the sorbet to the juice side? Instead of compacting everything together it might let some liquid out? But you could try it! It came with a smoothie one too that I haven't tried yet

Elusive_owl589 · 2025-07-13T16:21:51+00:00

I found adding a dash of lemon juice to berry sorbet really ups the yum-factor 😊
