Can this buttermilk culture be used with raw milk?

Raw milk requires extra steps and the right culture.http://www.culturesforhealth.com/raw-milk-buttermilk/

I would think that would be the ideal way to use the culture. I could only find pasteurized milk that wasn't homogenized. I would have rather used the raw milk.

I have but came out with something along the line of Villi - very thick, gooey and kind of stringy. It tasted good but I couldn't get past the texture. I called the manufacturer and they recommended I heat the raw milk to 145 then allow it to cool before adding the culture. I have done it that way now for a few months and it makes wonderful buttermilk.

Yes this product can be used with milk but I must also tell u if the shake is made using milk you would be increasing the calorie count by the number of calories contained in the milk used.

yes, you can pour the buttermilk through a sieve or cheese cloth then collect the grains and reuse.

The culture itself does not contain milk or dairy, but since it's used to culture dairy (by feeding on the lactose or milk sugar), it is hard to see what you are getting at here. I do not know if it would make the same product or be able to grow on soy "milk" or other non-dairy liquids.

I know your question was from several months ago, but here is a great recipe for raw milk yogurt, which you can use with this yogurt maker. You do have to heat the milk slightly, but not enough to kill all the "good stuff." http://nourishedkitchen.com/raw-milk-yogurt/

It does not contain dairy or gluten. I don't know what it is cultured on, but it should be safe for those two at least.

Yes. It is so easy you wont believe!! I used this exact kit, and my results were delicious. I personally used whole organic milk. I made 7 quarts out of one packet. There are 6 packets. Have fun!!

It doesn't work when you use soymilk. The yogurt needs the enzymes from cow's milk. I guess that you could try using coconut or goat's milk.

Yes, as far as I can tell. Ingredients listed are a cultured blend of sweet cream churned buttermilk, sweet dairy whey, and lactic acid.

You can use it with butter, although you need to be sure to clean out the pump with any kind of a saturated oil (such as butter) otherwise the pump will have residual solids in the filtered tube and mist nozzle which will prevent it from working properly. After you melt the butter it needs to be clarified before being put into the mister, cheese cloth or fine sieve filtered then it can be used. Honestly, I just use the brush method rather than the mister due to the amount of cleanup required to make sure all of the butter is out of the pump mechanism. Hope this answered your question.

I think you can use it for baking and to add to cooked dishes but it is not fine enough to make a milk- it would be gritty.

Maybe, but I personally would not use it for milk because to avoid bacteria problems you would need to be fanatical about cleaning it after each use(I'm not). I use it for brewed ice tea, and couldn't be happier with it in that context.

No, you cannot. This culture will be killed at the temperatures needed to make yogurt. Yogurt is taken up to ~114 F... This culture cannot be used above 102F.

I make my yogurt with raw milk, which you cannot reuse, if you make your yogurt with pasteurized milk, you can reuse it.

Yes you could. It would be like using low fat regular milk so you might need a thickener. Be sure to check recipes for using milk instead of cream.

i used a combination of half coconut milk with half cashew milk and it worked. note: whisked in one package of gelatin to the heated milk & 1-2T honey/coconut sugar to feed the yogurt cultures.
